e that is most liberall to them heere makes them sure. If they
get a church their faces are the richer, and they are men of more
reckoning at the bush or read lattice." "Long lived, etc."
A SHOP-KEEPER.
_39 in MS._ (_48 in Bliss_). "He examines the necessity of passengers, and
beggs in the phrase of the giver 'with what do you lacke?'" "... _abuse
his brother_. His prizes are like new playes, very dear at first view, but

men you shoulde not take of his worde." "_He is your slave, etc._"
A BOWL ALLEY.
_38 in MS._ (_30 in Bliss_). "Say nothing." "It is their as it is at
