A Gentleman in King James's days, that was a Servant to him, was a very fat Man, and the King it seems took delight in his comyany for his dry Jests now and then; and would often come and lean up∣on his Shoulder; but one time it seems lean'd a little harder than ordinary, that this fat Gentleman began to puff and blow: which the King observing, yet would take
no notice of it; but the Gentleman find∣ing the weight a little too heavy, said, I be∣seech your Majesty not to lean upon the Cushion too hard, least you burst out the Feathers.
