How Mr. Peters saved his Licence. (Book 29)

Mr. Peters talking with some honest Country men, about the affairs of his parish, and happening to have his Licence in his hand, one of his Company seeing it, desires to look well on it; but perceiving it was in Latine, saith he, O I understand not Latine, but perhaps I may pick out a word or two. No by no means cryed Mr. Peters, I would not have my Licence picked, lest it should be spoyled.
