Idioms

[Sibling DavidH]

In my Tyme, a Gentleman shou'd speake PLAYNE and say, what he meaneth.
Thus when wee use y^e Saying, "I shall cutte off thys Blackguard's Codpeece & his CODS, with 'em", then what we mean to Saye wou'd bee, "I shall cutte off thys Blackguard's Codpeece & his CODS, with 'em."
And this I have sayde often, and done itt, too.
