Galateus, Duke of Millain, being told of a certain Lawyer, who by his quick and crafty wit, could draw a fair Glove on a foul hand, thereby multiplying Suits and wronging the innocent, sent for him, and said, Sir, I owe my Baker Five hun∣dred pounds, and have no mind to pay him; will you undertake to defend me, and free me from the Debt? he answered, He would. The Duke therefore first reproved him sharply for his deceit and wrong deal∣ing, then caused him to be hanged.
