Wise. Why, then I will tell you, that he had not been with his Master much above a year and a half, but he came† acquainted with three young Villains (who here shall be nameless,) that taught him to add ⟨p. 65⟩to his sin, much of like kind; and he as aptly received their Instructions. One of them was chiefly given to Uncleanness, another to Drunkenness; and the third to Purloining, or stealing from his Master.
