Of his second Expedition.
I Could tell you, but that 'twere too long
a digression, how in this his second Ex∣pedition,
Cum Privilegio of Cavalier and
Royalist, he coz'ned more in the Kings
name, then ever Constable apprehended, or
Judge condemned. Only I will say that
if he fleec't them before, he flay'd them
now; and plain Coz'nage might have past
for Honesty, compar'd to the tricks, slights,
project, and inventions, which he had to
cozen them, especially his own Country-men;
so as his name became as formidable to
'um as ever Drakes was to the Spaniards, or
Talbots to the French; and so it has continued
ever since. And in this▪ and his first go∣ing
abroad it was, when he fell to writing
Plays, and h'ad good witness, he cou'd
write one in a day, or two; imagine but
what stuff it must be the whi••st.
