A Student in the University, sent one day to his Fellow Collegian, desiring to bor∣row such a certain Book, the other unwil∣ling to lend it, sent back word, That he had resolved never to let that Book go out of his Chamber, but if he pleased he might come and read as long as he would; not long after having himself occasion for a pair of Bellows, he sent to borrow them of the other, to whom he had formerly denied his Book; but received this witty denial, for said the other to the Messenger, I use not to lend out my Bellows, but if he please to come here, he may blow as long as he will.
