30^th. Tuesday for this long time past we’ve been served with Bad Beef, Some times with Maggots in it; Accordingly we have order’d Butchers that go in not to Cut it up if bad, & this day found it Extreamly bad, therefore Refused to Cut it up: & the Agent Order’d his Cook to do it; which was done and According to Custom bro^t. in at 12 o’the Clock, but all both Officers & people Refused taking of it. But M^r. Cowdrey Desired we would take it as it was Cooked & Depend you shall have better for the Future, but we’ve been Deceived Often Enough by him therefore we Concluded if we took it we Might in future be served with as bad or worse therefore they was Obliged to take it out again & Dispose of it Other ways
