An English Merchant trading at Am∣sterdam, was to sell a thousand pounds worth of Gloves to certain Jews, and had agreed upon the price: but the Jews re∣canting of the bargain, when they brought their money would have but half. Well, said the English Merchant, then you must give me a little time to sort them, and you shall have half; so he commanded his men to put all the right-handed ones in one parcel, and the left in another: then when the Jews came, he bid them take their choice, which being made, and the money paid, they began to pack them up; but perceiving at last they were all for one hand, they were forced to come and buy the rest at the Merchants rate.
