"Good Master Yellowhammer, I love my name well;" (IV.i.202)

Mr. Yellowhammer is a goldsmith in Thomas Middleton's A Chaste Maid in Cheapside.

"In the days of King Henry VIII, that most noble and victorious prince, in the beginning of his reign, John Winchcomb, a broadcloth weaver, dwelt in Newbury, a town in Berkshire; who for that he was a man of merry disposition and honest conversation was wondrous well-beloved of rich and poor, especially because in every place where he came he would spend his money with the best, and was not at any time found a churl of his purse".
