Moreover, on returning to New Amsterdam, he paraded up and down the streets with a crew of hard swearers at his heels sturdy bottle companions, whom he gorged and fattened, and who were ready to bolster him through all the courts of justice heroes of his own kidney, fierce-whiskered, broad-shouldered, colbrand-looking swaggerers not one of whom but looked as though he could eat up an ox, and pick his teeth with the horns.

And, moreover, at this fair there is at all times, to be seen juggling, cheats, games, plays, fools, apes, knaves, and rogues, and that of every kind. Here are to be seen too, and that for nothing, thefts, murders, adulteries, false swearers, and that of a blood-red colour.

"Good swearers both and hard drinkers filled with stock phrases, such as 'our distinguished dear friend, Ferrari, 'wrongs which can only be wiped out by blood' all bombast and braggadocio!

I don't think he'll be handing us his surrender on a silver platter at Charlestown or anywhere else." "I know it," said Warner.
