25. On a Barretter.
The Barretter, who studies brawling Laws,Will set his tongue to sale in any Cause;
46
In tricks and querks, and quarrelsom debates
He onely trades; his answers are evasions,
His arguments are snarling cavillations:
The work he brews in the Vacation long,
He in the Term-time broacheth with his tongue;
This greedy Horse-leech loves to suck and draw
The putrid bloud of the corrupted Law;
But of this wrangler soft, I must be mute,
For fear against me he commence a suit.
No more but this, such as delight in jarrs
Should God destroy, wo be to Barreters.
