but yet he would often fall out {63c} with young Badman his
Servant, and chide, yea and some times beat him too, for his
naughty doings.

Atten. What! for all he was so bad himself! This is like the
Proverb, The Devil corrects Vice.

Wise. I will assure you, 'tis as I say. For you must know, that
Badmans wayes suited not with his Masters gains. Could he have
done as the Damsel that we read of Acts 16. {63d} did, to wit, fill
his Masters Purse with his badness, he had certainly been his
White-boy, but it was not so with young Badman; and therefore,
though his Master and he did suit well enough in the main, yet in
this and that point they differed. Young Badman {63e} was for
neglecting of his Masters business, for going to the Whore-house,
for beguiling of his Master, for attempting to debauch his
Daughters, and the like: No marvel then if they disagreed in these
points. Not so much for that his Master had an antipathy against
the fact it self, for he could do so when he was an Apprentice; but
for that his servant by his sin made spoil of his Commodities, &c.
and so damnified his Master.

Had (as I said before) young Badmans wickedness, had only a
tendency to his Masters advantage; as could he have sworn, lied,
cousened, cheated, and defrauded customers for his Master, (and
indeed sometimes he did so) but had that been all that he had done,
he had not had, no not a wry word from his Master: But this was
not always Mr. Badmans way.

Atten. That was well brought in, even the Maid that we read of in
