To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He is a wit of an under Region, grosly imitating on the lower rope, what t'other does neatly on the higher; and is only for the laughterof the vulgar; whilst your wiser and better sort can scarcely smile athim: He talks nothing but kennel-raked fluff, and his discourse israther like fruit cane up rotten from the ground, than freshlygathered from the Tree. He is so far from a courtly wit, as hisbreeding seems only to have been i' th' Suburbs; or at best, he seemsonly graduated good company in a ...Tavern (the Bedlam of wits) where menare mad rather than merry; here one breaking a jest on the Drawer, ora Candlestick; there another repeating the old end of a Play, or somebawdy song; this speaking bilk, that nonsense, whilst all with loudhouting and laughter confound the _Fidlers_ noise, who may well becall'd a noise indeed, for no _Musick_ can be heard for them; sowhilst he utters nothing but old stories, long since laught thridbare, or some stale jest broken twenty times before: His _mirth_ comparedwith theirs, new and at first hand, is just like _Brokers_ ware incomparison with _Mercers_, or _Long-lane_ compar'd unto _Cheap-side_:his wit being rather the _Hogs-heads_ than his own, favouring more of_Heidelberg_ than of _Hellicon_, and he rather a drunken than a goodcompanion.
