I found in the Parlor a good Camlet-cloak, which I made bold to put on, and so very gravely walked out of the house; but coming to the door, you must think there was _Wild-fire_ in my breech, that hastned me out of the street. Being gotten a Bow-shot off I thought my self indifferent secure, so that I slackned my pace, but could not (if my Life lay on it) forbear looking this way, that way, sometimes over one shoulder, sometimes over the other: thinking of what dangerous consequence this might prove. I resolved to walk more confidently, and not let my eyes discover any thing of fear, by reason of guilt. This loose garment had so of a sudden Metamorphosed those thoughts I had of my self but a little before, my eye being continually on my Cloak, I could not conceit my self less then the best of the young Templers, that walk the Streets to show themselves: coming into _Bell-yard_, I observed several Gallants go into an House, and others to come out, which put me to the curiosity of enquiring, what, or whose House it was: Who told me it was a Gaming Ordinary. Nay, then (thought I) it is as free for me to enter as others; and so went in. I looked on a while, but my fingers itched to be at it. Why, thought I, have I not adventured a _Gaol_, a _Whipping_, or an _Hanging_, and shall I now fear a _Kicking_, a _Pumping_, or a _Bog-house_? These considerations made me resolutely take up the Box, and I threw a Main, which was 7: a great deal of money was presently set me, I knew it was but to little purpose to baulk them, so that confidently I threw at all, which I nicked with eleven, and so continued holding seven hands together. Perceiving I had got a considerable quantity of money, and fearing I might loose that which I had so boldly adventured for, I thanked my propitious Stars and the Gentlemen, who had rather lose their money than suspect any that hath the Garb of one well Extracted; and so bade them good night. A priviledge too many _Skarking Ubiquitarians_ use without interruption, being most commonly in use with the _Waiters_ and _Box-keepers_, who will be sure to speak in the behalf of such confident Cheats; if they lose, pretending great knowledge of them, that they are men of repute, civil and responsible; which frequently so prevails upon a _Mouth_, that he hath not a _word_ to say more. Questionless Ordinaries were first impartially founded, interdicting all play but which was upon the _Square_; but since, by the connivance of the _Box-keepers_, when the Table grows thin, and few at it, let the stranger beware: for the _Box-keeper_ shall walk off, pretending some speedy dispatch of a business concerning the _House of Office_, _&c._ whilst your Antagonist shall put the change upon you, or make use of his own _Jack-in-a-box_, and then had you 500 _l._ (would you set like a _Gamester_) he will have it to a penny in a short while: with whom the _Waiter_ goes snips. If at any time such they know want an
