Powderd Beefe
and Cabbage
A
Water-man (now living) named Gilford, dwelt on the Bank-side,
and
comming home to his Dinner, which was Beefe and Cabbage, of which hee
had
made pottage, hee prayed his wife to make haste, and take it off the
Fire,
that hee might quickly dine, and bee gone; and whilst the woman was
reaching
a Porrenger and Platter, a Cur-dog came into the house, lifted up his
legge,
and pist in the Porridge-pot amongst the meate and Cabbage, which the
man
perceiving told his Wife, and catch'd the dogge, and almost beate him
to
death: but the woman intreated her Husband to eate his Dinner, for it
should
bee never the worse, when shee had strayned the Pottage through a
cleane
cloath, but all her perswasions could not make him eate.
