T he sickness hot, a master quit, for fear, His house in town, and left one servant there; Ease him corrupted, and gave means to know

A Cheater, and his punk; who now brought low, Leaving their narrow practice, were become Cozeners at large; and only wanting some House to set up; with him they here contract, Each for a share, and all begin to act. Much company they draw, and much abuse, In casting figures, idling fortunes, news, Selling of flies, flat bawdry with the stone, Till it, and they, and all in fume are gone.
