The simple cobler of Aggawamm in America
Willing to help 'mend his native country, lamentably tattered, both in the upper-leather and sole, with all the honest stitches he can take. And as willing never to be paid for his work, by old English wonted pay. It is his trade to patch all the year long, gratis. Therefore I pray gentlemen keep your purses
