The History of John Bull

CHAPTER XVI
7/9

FROG .-- No, marry won't I; I refer myself to these honest gentlemen--let them judge between us.

Let Esquire South speak his mind, whether my accounts are not right, and whether we ought not to go on with our lawsuit.
JOHN BULL .-- Consult the butchers about keeping of Lent.

NIC.

FROG .-- Why, there it is: you will be both judge and party.
