[Footnote 106: Nares defines thus, "TERMER, a person, whether male or female, who resorted to London in term time only, for the sake of tricks to be practised or intrigues to be carried on at that period;" as in _Decker's Belman_, "Some of these boothalers are called _termers_, and they ply Westminster Hall; Michaelmas term is their harvest, and they sweat in it harder than reapers doe at their works in the heat of summer."] [Footnote 107: To wrap up spices or drugs. We should now say, "Send it to the butterman."] [61.] Two gentlemen met upon the Road, betwixt _Ware_ and _London_, the one was a wild young Gallant who had more means than Manners, the other a very grave discreet and temperate Citizen of _London_; who considering his own yeares, conceived that the younger man would give him the way, and by continuing his speed resolved to trye the young Gallants manners, until their Horses heads met. But the young fellow crost expectation, and uncivilly demanded his way of the elder; who replyed, Sir, since you will dispute it, I must tell you, according to the rules of Civility, the Elder in our Country have alwayes the way of their Younger: But the bold Upstart answered him again, that his Horse would not give way to a Foole.

So calling for a pair[F. 110] of Cards, said he could cut off that Custom by a president also: he shewed them the four Kings and four Queens in Gowns, but the four Knaves all in short Coats.
