Being the good fellows vindication to all his fellow companions, wishing them all to have a care, and keep out of the ale-wives snare, for when they are out you may get in, but when you are in, you can't get out, this by experience he hath found true, but now he bids them all adieu. This song it was composed and made by a loyal heart that is called John Wade. Tune of, My lord monks march to London, or, Now we have our freedom, &c.
