text: London was now no place for Royalists, so we will let the young gallants disappear to their trout-streams with their prize, under the scowls of Levellers, Antinomians, Anabaptists, Fifth-monarchy men, and other sectarians. With that scorn must there have looked upon honest Izaak's little fishing book as they asked Master Marriot for the painful Mr. Sibbes's Saints Cordials, delivered in sundrie Sermons, or worthy Mr. Thomas Tymmes's Silver Watch Bell, the sound whereof is able to win the profanest worldling, if there bee the least sparke of Grace remaining in him, not, we may be sure, without many a glance of rebuke at the lack-graces who were lovingly lingering over Izaak's plates of the tench and perch. Spite of the dark cloud which in those Puritan days overhung all diversions and every cheerful pastime, the little book won its way to many a sunny window-sill in English country-houses, and accompanied many anglers to the water side; for in two years' time another edition was required.
