	NEWS GOOD AND NEW 7   Row. No Ostler there will rob you, of either oates or hay: No Tapster nickes the pot there, but fils it as he may: No hoast will there be drunke, no hostesse proues vntrue. Iohn. I neuer will beleeue it, Tis too good to be true. 8   Row. Your Brokers there are honest and are not ranckt with knaues, They lend their coine for conscience, which makes them ore their graues To haue their good deeds writ, whose number is but few. Iohn.
