<160/r.168> <Of {Debts} and {Trusting}>
{Obs.} They are very desirous to come into
debt, but then he that trusts them, must sustaine
a twofold losse:
First, of his Commoditie.
Secondly, of his custome, as I have found
by deare experience: Some are ingenuous,
plaine hearted and honest; but the most never
pay, unlesse a man follow them to their
severall abodes, townes and houses, as I my
selfe have been forc'd to doe, which hardship
and travells it hath yet pleased God to sweeten
with some experiences and some little
gaine of Language.

{Obs.} This is a common, and as (they think)
most satisfying answer, that they have been
sick: for in those times they give largely

them by conjurations; and also they keepe
open house for all to come to helpe to pray
with them, unto whom also they give money.
