ye have done, 'tis Justice. Run not the Parish mad with Controversies, Nor preach Abstinence to longing Women, 'Twill burge the bottoms of their Consciences: I would give the Church new Organs, but I prophesie The Church-wardens would quickly pipe 'em out o'th' Parish, Two hundred Duckets more to mend the Chancel, And to paint true Orthographie, as many, They write _Sunt_ with a _C_, which is abominable, 'Pray you set that down; to poor Maidens Marriages. _Lop_. I that's well thought of, what's your will in that point? A meritorious thing. _Bar_. No end of this Will? _Die_. I give _per annum_ two hundred Ells of Lockram, That there be no strait dealings in their Linnens, But the Sails cut according to their Burthens. To all Bell-ringers, I bequeath new Ropes, And let them use 'em at their own discretions. _Ars_. You may remember us. _Die_. I do good Gentlemen, And I bequeath you both good careful Surgions, A Legacy, you have need of, more than mony, I know you want good Diets, and good Lotions, And in your pleasures, good take heed. _Lop_. He raves now, But 'twill be quickly off. _Die_. I do bequeath ye Commodities of Pins, Brown-papers, Pack-threads, Rost Pork, and Puddings, Ginger-bread, and Jews-trumps, Of penny Pipes, and mouldy Pepper, take 'em, Take 'em even where you please and be cozen'd with 'em, I should bequeath ye Executions also, But those I'le leave to th' Law. _Lop_. Now he grows temperate. _Bar_. You will give no more? _Die_. I am loth to give more from ye, Because I know you will have a care to execute. Only, to pious uses, Sir, a little. _Bar_. If he be worth all these, I am made for ever. _Die_. I give to fatal Dames, that spin mens threads out, And poor distressed Damsels, that are militant As members of our own Afflictions, A hundred Crowns to buy warm Tubs to work in, I give five hundred pounds to buy a Church-yard, A spacious Church-yard, to lay Thieves and Knaves in, Rich men and honest men take all the room up. _Lop_. Are ye not weary? _Die_. Never of well-doing. _Bar_. These are mad Legacies.
