On a Quaker and a Hector.
A Quaker having taken a room in an Inn, a Hector comming after, would needs have the room from him, swearing, damming, and sinking after a most damnable rate: but the other told him mildly it was his room, and by yea and nay he should not come there; the other thereupon struck him, which so provoked the old man in this stout Quaker, that he repayed his blows with usury; and at last kickt him down stairs: with that the Master of the house sent up to know what was the matter; nothing (said one) but that yea and nay hath kickt God damme down stairs.
