Master Mouse his Answer to her Country-mans Petition.
IT doth seeme by this Petition good-man Ienkin that your Welch bloud is up, you would make a good Laborour to carry Bricke and Morter, for as soone as you are angry you are presently a top of the house; but as it is said when any thing is found knawd, that the Mouse hath bin here, so hee that shall reade this Welch Petition, and finde therein such broken English, false Writing, unproper words, and so many Hers in every line, may very well thinke that the Welch-man hath beene here, and hath begotten out of his Braines a Shee Petition. You are afraid of Thieves, that is of your owne shadow, for who more Thiefe than your selfe; and for your Cheeses they are as hard as Mill-stones, and stinke of Goates Milke, especially being tosted, so that the Divell would rather bee starv'd then boorded with Cheese in Wales: Your other Accusations are lyes, and shew you to be a right Brittaine, that will make a Mountain of a Mole-hill, as appeareth by your setting forth her Countries wrongs and feares in her long Bills and Petitions.
