took the Key up into his own Chamber and when the good wife saw that she was shut out of doors she knocked very hard till at last her Husband looked out at the window and bad her to go look her

Husband to come down and open the door he came down to her and let her in to whom she dissemblingly pretended to have lost her Wedding-Ring from off her hand who lovingly going forth with the Candle in his hand in his shirt looked up and down upon the goound for it and she the mean time stepping in clapped to the door and shut him out whereat he was much perplexed and knocked a long time in the

what thou wilt and I will never meddle no make with you whatsoever you do hereafter whereupon she came down and opened the door and let him in and there they made great protestations each to other

an Army against England But let him come we 'l thunder him back he cannot us withstand Jack of Newbery comes proud Scots take heed with valiant Souldiers stout Who for brave England will fight with you and never will give out Our milk-white Coats red Caps and yellow Feathers declare Our Resolution 's stout and good there Scots will not spare Shortly after Jack of Newberry heard that the King was to ride by Newberry so he with his Servants went out into the field and finding an Hill of Pismires drew his Sword and guarded it and the King coming by sent for him to know the reason why he guarded that place with his Sword drawn the King in person being to pass by there who returned answer That he was busie and could not speak with him and the King is on Horse-back and I am on Foot therefore

it was done to make some jest for his pleasure and when the King came Jack with all his men fell on their knees and cryed God save the King your Sacred Majesty quoth he hath vanquished all mine Enemies Now trust me quoth the King you are stout Souldiers to fight against Butterflies and withstand such mighty Gyants My dread Soveraign quoth Jack of Newberry not long ago in my conceit I saw the

chosen their King at what time also many Bills of complaint were brought in against divers ill Members in the Common-Wealth amongst whom the Mole was attainted of High-treason to their State and therefore was banished for ever from their quiet Kingdom so was the Grashopper and Catterpiller because they were not only idle but also lived upon the labours of other Men Amongst the rest the Butterflie was very much misliked but few durst say any thing to him because of his Golden Apparel who through sufference grew so ambitious and malapart that the poor Ant could no sooner get an Egg

and so the King God save Now to return again to Jack and his Wife it fell out that she fell sick and dyed

A most Delightful HISTORY Of the Famous Clothier of England CALLED JACK of NEWBERY In the days of King Henry the Eighth how he was beloved of his Mistris above all her Wealthier Sutors what great and valiant things he did for England and the great number of poor he daily cherished And how when the King sent for him he refused with his company to leave the Hill of Ants to go to the King and therefore the King went to him which he wittily excused with many other very pleasant passages Written by W. ● F. C. Printed for W. Thackeray at the Sign of the Angel in Duck-Lane THE MOST Delightful History OF Jack of Newberry IN the Reign of King Henry the Eighth one John Winchcomb being an Apprentice to a rich Clothier in the town of Newberry in Barkshire a pretty handsome Youth his Master dyed and left his Mistris a Widdow who perceiving Jack to be a faithful careful and trusty Servant she put him in great trust in the House who as carefully performed the trust reposed in him His Mistris having many Suitors coming to her could not fancy any for her Man John had stoln away her heart The Parson of Spinhome-land woo'd her and often solicited with her to make her his Wife but could not obtain her love because he was a Clergy-man too much she thought devoted to his Study A rich Tanner was a second Wooer but could not speed for though he was rich yet was he too Old for hee young and lusty desires A Taylor was a third man who was almost confident of her love but all in vain for her man John oh he was the man that had so wounded her heart that she could love no other man She seeing the backwardness of John her man after many occasions which she gave him to wooe her came at last and told him plainly that she loved him which secret she did earnestly desire him not to impart to any but he very modestly blushing with a Rosie colour in his Cheeks not knowing low to express himself ●s he desired being astonished hereat answered Sweet Mistris quoth he I am but a Child to undertake so great a thing it is a charge the discharge whereof methinks I fear to undertake At which answer she was something di●couraged in her sute for the present and kissing of him brake off discourse for that time and night approaching she went to Bed but took but little rest but either slumbering at the best or Dreaming of her pretty Man John She was so troubled as if she had been wounded in a Prison and with many Cogitations of her Beloved fetched many deep sighs in that dolesom and dark night thinking it long e're morning came rejoycing to see the light appear more to embrace her dear Servant or rather her Master John She going to see Bartholomew Fair as Women use to do to see and be seen took her man John with her who whilst she was talking with a friend espyed him saluting a pretty Maid which made her own mouth water and biting her Lips she left discoursing with her Neighbor to go to John to prevent his further familiarity with the Maid Afterwards she met with the Taylor her Sweet-heart so neat as could be in the Fair who desiring her to drink a Cup of Wine with him was denied again and again but by importunity she was perswaded and he espying the Tanner called him into t●e Tavern to them to help to bear their Charges little imagining that he was a Sutor to the same Widdow and both of them espying the Parson go by called him in expecti●g to make him their Solliciter thus were they all meerly drawn into Cupid's Paradice but when each had discovered their intents to other they were all exceedingly perplexed not knowing how this Division might be ended At last it was desired of the Widdow which of them she loved best and she answered that she loved them all and gave them thanks for their charges but quoth the Parson can you find in your heart to Marry me It is your Office to Marry quoth she and not mine Then quoth the Tanner will you make me your Husband Truly Neighbour quoth she methinks you might better be my Father you are of great Years to Marry such a young Widdow as I am Then quoth the Taylor Widdow i● is I that must enjoy you shall you and I be Marryed Yes I hope so quoth the Widdow when we and our sweet-hearts are agreed So desi●ing to take her leave of them giving them t●anks for their costs they spent on her she arose up to go away but they desiring a full answer from her desired her to give them better satisfaction to their Requests If quoth she you will come to my Hou●e on Thursday I will give you full satisfaction at which time they all came and she told them all then plainly that she would marry none of them for she had one nearer home whom she loved so well that she could not marry any other man so they went all away very sad and discontented Night approaching she talked privately with her Man John wooing him to marry her which he still through bashfulness refused And when night approached she caused a special bed to be made for her man John to lie in which bed was onely for special strangers to lie in or for her Husband when he was not well and she lay her self in the next Chamber to him which she locked up and kept the Key thereof her self But when she had lain in Bed an hour or two she began to think it very long to lye alone so she arose out of her bed and went to her man John shivering and shaking and lifting up his bed cloaths he started Who is there quoth he It is I my sweet John quoth she I am your Mistriss it is an extream cold Night and I lying alone am almost starved in my Bed Good John
