A36903	The informer's doom, or, An unseasonable letter from Utopia directed to the man in the moon giving a full and pleasant account of the arraignment, tryal, and condemnation of all those grand and bitter enemies that disturb and molest all kingdoms and states throughout the Christian world : to which is added (as a caution to honest country-men) the arraignment, tryal, and condemnation of the knavery and cheats that are used in every particular trade in the city of London / presented to the consideration of all the tantivy-lads and lasses in Urope [sic] by a true son of the Church of England.	Dunton, John, 1659-1733.	1683 (1683)	Wing D2629; ESTC R27312	54,240	166

be none of the Quest for he would Challenge him for this base Churle says he is one of the Moths of the Common-wealth beside he is a spoil of young Gentlemen a blood-sucker of the poor as thirsty as a Horse leach that will never leave drinking while he burst a knave that hath interest in the Leafes of forty Bawdy-houses a receiver for Lifts and a dishonourable supporter for Cutpurses To conclude he was gotten by an Incubus a He Devil and brought forth by an overworn refuse that had spent her youth under the ruines of Bawbies Barn Moreover this Villain is the Devils Factor sent from Hell to torment young Gentlemen upon Earth he hath fetcht me over in his time only in pawns in ten thousand pound in gold Suppose that Gentlemen through their liberal minds may want that I need money let me come to him with a pawn worth ten pound he will not lend upon it above three pound and he will have a Bill of sale and twelve pence in the pound for every month so that it comes to sixteen pence and the Bill must be renewed monthly and if you break but your day set down in the Bill of sale your pawn is lost as full bought and sold you turned out of your Goods and he an unconscionable gainer Suppose the best you keep your day yet paying sixteen pence a month for twenty shillings you pay as good for the lone as fourscore in the hundred is not this monstrous exacting upon Gentlemen Beside the Knave will be diligently attending and waiting at dicing Houses where we are at play and there he is ready to lend the loser money upon Rings and Chains Apparrel or any other good pawn but the poor Gentleman pays so dear for the Lavender it is laid up in that if it lye long at a Brookers-house he seems to buy his apparel twice Nay this worm ea●ten wr●tch hath deeper pit falls yet to trap Youth in For he being acquainted with a young G●ntleman of fair living in issue of good Parents or assured possibility soothes him in his monstrous expences and says he carries the mind of a Gentleman promising if he want he shall not lack for a hundred pound or two if the Gentleman need Then hath my Broker an Usurer at hand as ill as himself and he brings the money but they tye the poor Soul in such Darbies bands what with receiving ill Commodities and forfeitures upon the band that they dub him Sir Iohn Had-land before they leave him and share like Wolves the poor novices wealth betwixt them as a prey He is Sir to be brief a bowzie bawdy Miser good for none but himself and his trugg a Carl that hath a filthy Carkass without a Conscience a body of a man wherein an Infernal spirit instead of a Soul doth inhabit the scum of the seven deadly sins an Enemy to all good minds a devourer of young Gentlemen and to conclude my mortal Enemy and therefore admit of my challenge and let him be none of the Jury Moreover were not Brokers bad there would be less filching and fewer Thieves for they receive all is brought them and buy that for a Crown that is worth twenty shillings desire of gain binds their Conscience and they care not how it be come by so they buy it cheap Beside they extort upon the poor that are inforced through extreme want to pawn their cloaths and houshold stuff their Pewder and Brass and if poor souls that labour hard miss but a day the base-minded Broker takes the forfeit without remorse or pitty It was not so in Diebus illis I have known of late when a poor Woman laid a silver Thimble that was sent her from her friends for a Token to pawn for six pence and the Broker made her pay a half penny a week for it which comes to two shillings a year for six pence sith then his Conscience is so bad let him be shuffled out amongst the Knaves for a discarded Card and so the Broker was put by A Barber a Surgeon and an Apothecary summoned to be of the Jury When the Broker was gone Three pert Youths come up cl●se to Sir Iohn in a cluster very nea●ly ty●ed who questioning them what they were the one said he was a Barber the other a Chiru●geon and the third an Apoth●cary How like you of these quoth Si● Iohn to the Judg shall they be of my Iury Of the Jury quoth the Iudge never a One by my consent for I challenge them all And first the B●rber he cannot be but a partial man ●ith he gets more by one time dres●ing of the Iudge than by ten times dressing of me I come plain to be poll'd and 〈…〉 ●eard cut and pay him two pence The Judge he sits down in the chair wrapt in fine Clothes as though the Barber were about to make him a footclothe for the Vicar of Saint fools Then begins he to take his Scissors in his hand and his comb and so to snap with them as if he meant to give a warning to all the Lice in his nitty Locks for to prepare themselves for the day of their destruction was at hand then comes he out with his Fustian Eloquence and making a low conge saith Sir will you have your Worships Hair cut after the Italian manner short and round and then frounst with the curling Irons to make it look like a half Moon in a Mist or like a Spaniard long at the ears and curled like to the two ends of an old cast Periwig or will you be Frenchifyed with a Love-lock down to your shoulders wherein you may wear your Mistriss Favour the English cut is base and Gentlemen scorn it novelty is dainty speak the word Sir my Scissors are ready to execute your Worships will His head being once drest which requires in combing and rubbing some two hours he comes to the Bason then being curiously washt with no worse than a Camphire ball he descends as low as his beard and asketh whether he pleaseth to be shaven or no whether he will have his Peake cut short sharp amiable like an Inamorato or broad pendant like a Spade to be terrible like a Warrior and a Soldado whether he will have his crates cut low like a Juniper bush or his Suberches taken away with a Razor if it be his pleasure to have his appendices prim'd or his Mouchaches sostred to turn about his ears like the branches of a Vine or cut down to the lip with the Italian Lash to make him look like a half faced Bouby in Brass These quaint Terms the Barber greets the Gallant withal and at every word a snap with his Scissors and a cring with his knee whereas when he comes to the poor man he either cuts his beard at his own pleasure or else in disdain asks him if he will be trim'd round like the half of a Holland Cheese mocking of him for this his Knavery my will is of him
