104townes end I strained my hip, and for a time indu-

105red exceeding paine: but being loath to trouble a

106Surgeon I held on, finding remedy by labour that

107had hurt mee, for it came in a turne, and so in my

108daunce I turned it out of my seruice againe.

109 The multitudes were so great at my coming

110to Burntwood, that I had much a doe (though I

111made many intreaties and staies) to get passage to

112my Inne.

113 In this towne two Cut-purses were taken, that

114with other two of their companions followed me

115from Lōdon (as many better disposed persons did:)

116but these two dy-doppers gaue out when they were

117apprehended, that they had laid wagers and betted

118about my iourney. Whereupon the Officers bring-

119ing them to my Inne, I iustly denyed their ac-

120quaintance, sauing that I remembered one of them

121to be a noted Cut-purse, such a one as we tye to a

122poast on our stage, for all people to wonder at, when

123at a play they are taken pilfring.

124 This fellow & his half brother being found with

125the deed, were sent to Iayle: their other two con-

126sorts had the charity of the towne, & after a dance

127of Trenchmore at the whipping crosse, they were

128sent backe to London: where I am afraide there

129are too many of their occupation. To bee short I

130thought myselfe well rid of foure such followers,

131and I wish hartily that the whole world were cleer

132of such companions.

133 Hauing rested well at Burntwood, the Moone
