A man of my profession never counterfeits, till he lays hold upon a
debtor and says he _rests_ him: for then he brings him to all
manner of unrest.--_The Bailiff, in 'Every Man in his Humour.'_
Run not into debt, either for wares sold or money borrowed; be content
to want things that are not of absolute necessity, rather than to run up
the score: such a man pays at the latter a third part more than the
principal comes to, and is in perpetual servitude to his creditors;
lives uncomfortably; is necessitated to increase his debts to stop his
creditors' mouths; and many times falls into desperate courses.
