with his Creditors, so now) with his Customers, and those that he
had otherwise to deal withall.

He dealt by deceitfull Weights and Measures. {106a} He kept
weights to buy by, and weights to sell by; measures to buy by, and
measures to sell by: those he bought by were too big, those he
sold by were too little.

Besides, he could use a thing called slight of hand, if he had to
do with other mens weights and measures, and by that means make
them whether he did buy or sell, yea though his Customer or Chapman
looked on, turn to his own advantage.

Moreover, he had the art to misreckon men in their Accounts whether
by weight, or measure, or money, and would often do it to his
worldly advantage, and their loss: What say you to Mr. Badman now?

And if a question was made of his faithfull dealing, he had his
servants ready, that to his purpose he had brought up, that would
avouch and swear to his Book, or word: this was Mr. Badmans
practice; What think you of Mr. Badman now?

Atten. Think! Why I can think no other but that he was a man left
to himself, a naughty man; for these, as his other, were naughty
things; if the tree, as indeed it may, ought to be judged, what it
is by its fruits; then Mr. Badman must needs be a bad Tree. But
pray, for my further satisfaction, shew me now by the Word of God,
evil of this his practice: and first of his using false Weights
and Measures.
