Of two chollerieke Gamesters.

TWo chollericke Brothers dwelling in the same house, and playing often at Tables; one day amongst the rest fell at difference about a cast, and withall together by the eares; but their mother re∣conciled, and swore them ne∣ver to play more together; or, if they did, not to speake one word, how angry soever they were: But after this oath taken they fell to play againe, and he who play'd with rhe white men being extreamely angry with the Dice, (yet remembring his oath) spake not a word, but threw one of his men into the fire, and called for a white crust

in stead of it. Not long af∣ter, hee that play'd with the blacke men threw away one of them also, & called for a brown crust in stead of it.: Thus they continued play, and burning their men, till all the Table∣men were turn'd to white bread and browne.
