 they were soon discharged, for Issachar had taken the money 

 which should have maintained them. 



" So they were discharged. Each man went his way, some 

 to their labours, some against their wills, but others said, ' We 

 are gentlemen, neither Avill we any more do servile work,' and 

 those adhered to Granby the Marquess.

 known? And the money that was expended by them, is it not 

 written in the book of Samuel the Scribe? And these men are 

 called Drivers of Cattle unto this very day."
