A Company of Inland Cockneys shot a liv∣ing Lobster, which was let fall on the High-way, for a serpent, and made a solemn thanks-giving (if you will believe it) for their deliverance from it. One of them being somewhat wiser than the rest, took up the Serpent, and invited the Minister of the Parish to dine with him, who being derided for his errour, said, that in all his life time he never saw a black Lobster before.
