“Heaven I beseech thee, what an abhominable sort of Followers have I put upon mee:  ...  I cannot looke into the Cittie, but one or other makes tender his good partes to me, either his Language, his Travaile, his Intelligence, or something:  Gentlemen send me their younger Sonnes furnisht in compleat, to learn fashions, for-sooth:  as if the riding of five hundred miles, and spending 1000 Crownes would make ’am wiser then God meant to make ’am....  Three hundred of these Gold-finches I have entertained for my Followers:  I can go in no corner, but I meete with some of my Wifflers in there accoutrements; you may heare ’am halfe a mile ere they come at you, and smell ’am half an hour after they are past you:  sixe or seaven make a perfect Morrice-daunce; they need no Bells, their Spurs serve their turne:  I am ashamed to traine ’am abroade, theyle say I carrie a whole Forrest of Feathers with mee, and I should plod afore ’am in plaine stuffe, like a writing Schole-maister before his Boyes when they goe a feasting.”
