Great Regulars: The speaker, Nicholas Bindle, chides

his "fellow citizens" for begging him to give to charity. He asks them if they were "not ashamed" when they became aware that his estate was so meager. After his death, his estate was "probated" in the courts, and the size of his holdings would have been exposed.
