the Butcher, and waht will you have for it? Just thirty five shillings, says Tom.- No says the Butcher, but by what I hear of it I'll give you thirty, Na, says Tom You must remember, that it is not the price of it, but you may give me twenty shillings just now and send out your lad to morrow, and we'll perhaps agree about it. Thus Tom went through ten of them in one day, and got twenty shillings from each of them, and kept his speech against the law, for whatever they offer'd him for his calf he told them to remember, that was not to be the price of it, but give me twenty shillings just now, & send your lad to morrow, and perhaps we will agree, was all that passed. So Tom went home with his ten pounds and paid his rent. Early next morning, the fleshers came to Toms house for the calf and every one called for his calf, but Tom had only one to serve them all. Now says Tom. whoever will give most, and speidiest will have it, I will put it to a roup. What said one of them, my master bought it yesterday. Then said Tom you would be a great fool to buy it today, for it is fashous to lead, and heavy to carry.
