other a strong and moving
Sport in the open Fields with a great Ball of a double leather filled
with Wind, and so driven to and fro with the strength of a Mans Arm,
armed in a Brace of Wood. And thus much shall suffice to speak of the
_Baloon_ and _Tennis_; only let me desire you, let not this or any other
Pastime disturb your Minds; divert you from the diligent and careful
Prosecution of your lawful Business; or invite you to throw away your
Time and Money too lavishly and idley; nor engage you in any Passion;
that so you may not offend God, dislike your Neighbour, nor incomode
your Self and Family in your Well-being and Felicity; and then you may
recreate your self without Fear: And in this Recreation observe the
ensuing Morality of

The =Tennis-Court=.

_When as the Hand at_ Tennis _Plays,
And Men to Gaming fall_,
Love _is the_ Court, Hope _is the_ House,
_And_ Favour _serves the_ Ball,

_This_ Ball _it self is due Desert,
The Line that measure shows
Is_ Reason _whereon_ Judgment _looks
Where Players win and lose._

_The_ Tutties _are Deceitful Shifts,
The_ Stoppers, Jealousy,
_Which hath Sir_ Argus _hundred Eyes,
Wherewith to watch and pry._

_The Fault whereon_ Fifteen is lost,
_Is Want of_ Wit _and_ Sense,
_And he that brings the_ Racket _in
Is_ Double Diligence.

_But now the_ Racket _is_ Free-will,
_Which makes the_ Ball _rebound,
And Noble_ Beauty _is the_ Choice,
_And of each Game the Ground._

_Then_ Racket _strikes the_ Ball _away,
And there is_ Over-sight,
_A_ Bandy _ho! the People cry,
And so the_ Ball _takes flight._

_Now at the length_ Good-liking _proves
Content to be their Gain:
Thus in the Tennis-Court,_ Love is
A Pleasure mixt with Pain.

_Of RINGING._

Whosoever would become an accurate Master of this excellent Art and
Pleasure, and is very desirous to be esteemed an Elaborate and Ingenious
Ringer, and be enrolled amongst that Honoured Society of =College
Youths=; I must beg leave to instruct him before he enters the
Bell-free, in these ensuing short Rules; which he must strictly observe,
_viz._

1. That as all _Musick_ consists in these six plain _Notes_, _La Sol Fa
Mi Re Ut_; so in _Ringing_, a Peal of Bells is Tuned according to these
Principles of Musick: For as each _Bell takes its Denominati
