the four, who had the higheft Trump takes up one, the fecond is for Him of the three others, who had the next beft Trump; and if there are godd Counters, the third is for Him of the remaining two, who had the best Trump; but in Cafe they had neither of them any Trump at all, it is let alone till the next Deal.

The firft Beafte is always of 15 Counters, the fecond of 45, except the Game, in which the first Beate was made, was won by Codille; in which Cafe the fecond is but of 30. In either Cafe you must add the Number of 15 for each Beafte, according as they are made.

The Matadores are paid all one as they are at Quadrille; it is indifferent whether they are all in the Ombre's Hand, or whether divided between him and the King his Ally, they part what is paid for the Matadores, as well as the rest of the Winnings.

The Vole is likewife paid, according as has been at firft agreed upon, to those, who win it; and thofe, who jointly make it, are jointly to divide the Gain.

There is no Rifque in undertaking the Vole, there being no Penalty for those who undertake and mifs it; nor is there any for thofe, who, undertaking to play, make the Devole; that is, are flammed by not winning one Trick, as it fometimes happens; they are only obliged equally to pay the Vole to their

Adverfaries; still obferving, that the odd Counter, as it belongs to the Ombre, if he wins, must be paid by him when he loses.

He who calls a King, and makes not one Trick must be beafted alone, provided that the Auxiliary-King makes any; but if he likewife makes none, the Beafte must be equally paid between them.

The Vole draws no more than what was played for; the Cards are cleared by a certain Number of Counters, as has been at first agreed upon, to be paid by each Player.

As to the Renounce, and all the reft, except in the foregoing Particulars, the Rules and Laws of Quadrille are obferved.

It is the best Way for the Ombre to trump about as foon as he can, and likewife for the Friend, when the King that was called has appeared, or even before, if he can, the better to accommodate the Ombre's Game, that his Kings may pass, which otherwise run the Hazard of being trumped.

Thefe Rules, make New Quintille much more entertaining than the Old Way of playing it, which is now quite out of Ufe, except in fome petit French Provinces, where they likewife play Quadrille, almoft after the fame

Manner.

Befides, the Law would not be equal, if a faced Card belonging to one Player should be received, and the Deal pafs for Good, when, at the fame Time, if a fecond fhould come to another of the Players, and a third to another, the Deal would be reputed falfe, and would pass for nothing; and yet this fecond or third faced Card dealt to different Players, could produce no other Effects to their Game, than the first faced Card would do to his, to whom it had been dealt.
