After this all must play; if any be lood he must lay down so much for his loo as his five Cards a∣mount to. If any next dealing be lood he must lay down as much for his deal∣ing, and as much more for his loo.
If after this the eldest hand pass, the rest may refuse to play, or play if they think they can win a Card.
Here note, If there be never a loo the money may be divided by the Gamesters according to the number of their Tricks, if there be a loo the win∣ners must take up the money, and he that is loo'd must lay down as much money on the board as every one had laid down before, be it never so great a summ, besides the like quantity for dealing, if he that was loo'd dealt.
