Gervase Markham, in the First Part of the English Husbandman, ch. 6, remarks:—"You may by these usuall observations, and the helpe of a better judgement, imploy the fruits of your labours to the best profit, and sell everything at the highest price, except you take upon you to give day and sell upon trust, which if you doe, you may then sell at what unconscionable reckoning you will." Cf.
"When drapers draw no gaines by giving day." —Gascoigne, The Steel Glass, 1094.
