Bill discounted?

SIR OLIVER. Wants to raise money too!--mercy on me! has his
distresses, I warrant[,] like a Lord--and affects Creditors and Duns!

MOSES. 'Twas not be done, indeed----

TRIP. Good lack--you surprise me--My Friend Brush has indorsed it
and I thought when he put his name at the Back of a Bill 'twas

MOSES. No 'twouldn't do.

TRIP. A small sum--but twenty Pound--harkee, Moses do you think
you could get it me by way of annuity?

SIR OLIVER. An annuity! ha! ha! a Footman raise money by annuity--

MOSES. Who would you get to join with you?

TRIP. You know my Lord Applice--you have seen him however----

MOSES. Yes----

TRIP. You must have observed what an appearance he makes--nobody
