I made what haste I could. And brought the warrant? See here, I have't. 'Tis well done, but speak, runs it Both without Bail and mainprize? Nay, it carries both form and power. Then I shall warrant him; I have been yonder Sir, And what says he? Like one that offers you Free ingress, view and regress, at your pleasure; As to his worthy Landlord. Was that all? He spoke to me, that I would speak to you, To speak unto your Son; And then again, To speak to him, that he would speak to you; You would release his Bargain. By no means, Men must advise before they part with Land, Not after to repent it; 'Tis most just, That such as hazard, and disburse their Stocks, Should take all gains and profits that accrue, As well in Sale of Houses, as in Barter, And Traffic of all other Merchandise. See in acknowledgement of a tenant's duty, He attends you at the gate; Salute him Sir. My worthy Friend. Now as I live, all my best thoughts and wishes Impart with yours, in your so safe return; Your servant tells me, you have great desire To take survey of this my house within. Be't Sir, no trouble to you. None, enter boldly; With as much freedom, as it were your own. As it were mine; Why Reignald, is it not? Lord Sir, that in extremity of grief, You'll add unto vexation; See you not How sad he's on the sudden, I observe it. To part with that which he hath kept so long; Especially his Inheritance: Now as you love Goodness, and Honesty, torment him not With the least word of Purchase. Counselled well; Thou teachest me Humanity. Will you enter? Or shall I call a servant, to conduct you Through every Room and Chamber? By no means; I fear we are too much troublesome of ourselves. See what a goodly Gate? It likes me well. What brave carved posts; Who knows but here, In time Sir, you may keep your shrievalty; And I be one o'th' Sergeants. They are well Carved. And cost me a good price Sir, Take your pleasure, I have business in the Town. Poor man, I pity him; H'ath not the heart to stay and see you come, As 'twere, to take Possession; Look that way Sir, What goodly fair Bay windows? Wondrous stately. And what a Gallery, How costly Seeled; What painting round about? Every fresh object to good, adds betterness. terraced above, and how below supported; do they please you? All things beyond opinion; Trust me Reignald, I'll not forgo the Bargain, for more gain Than half the price it cost me. If you would? I should not suffer you; Was not the Money due to the Usurer, took upon good ground, That proved well built upon? we were no fools That knew not what we did.

I made what haste I could. And brought the warrant? See heere, I hau't. 'Tis well done, but speake, runs it Both without Baile and Maineprize? Nay, it carries both forme and power. Then I shall warrant him; I haue bin yonder Sir, And what sayes hee? Like one that offers you Free ingresse, view and regresse, at your pleasure; As to his worthy Land-lord. Was that all? Hee spake to me, that I would speake to you, To speake vnto your Sonne; And then againe, To speake to him, that he would speake to you; You would release his Bargaine. By no meanes, Men must aduise before they part with Land, Not after to repent it; 'Tis most iust, That such as hazzard, and disburse their Stockes, Should take all gaines and profits that accrew, As well in Sale of Houses, as in Barter, And Traficke of all other Merchandize. See in acknowledgement of a Tenants duty, Hee attends you at the gate; Salute him Sir. My worthy Friend. Now as I liue, all my best thoughts and wishes Impart with yours, in your so safe returne; Your seruant tels me, you haue great desire To take suruiew of this my house within. Bee't Sir, no trouble to you. None, enter bouldly; With as much freedome, as it were your owne. As it were mine; Why Reignald, is it not? Lord Sir, that in extremity of griefe, You'le adde vnto vexation; See you not How sad hee's on the suddaine, I obserue it. To part with that which he hath kept so long; Especially his Inheritance: Now as you loue Goodnesse, and Honesty, torment him not With the least word of Purchase. Councell'd well; Thou teachest me Humanitie. Will you enter? Or shall I call a seruant, to conduct you Through euery Roome and Chamber? By no meanes; I feare wee are too much troublesome of our selues. See what a goodly Gate? It likes me well. What braue caru'd poasts; Who knowes but heere, In time Sir, you may keepe your Shreualtie; And I be one oth' Seriants. They are well Caru'd. And cost me a good price Sir, Take your pleasure, I haue businesse in the Towne. Poore man, I pittie him; H'ath not the heart to stay and see you come, As 'twere, to take Possession; Looke that way Sir, What goodly faire Baye windowes? Wondrous stately. And what a Galleric, How costly Seeled; What painting round about? Euery fresh obiect to good, adds betternesse. Tarrast aboue, and how below supported; doe they please you? All things beyond opinion; Trust me Reignald, I'le not forgoe the Bargaine, for more gaine Then halfe the price it cost me. If you would? I should not suffer you; Was not the Money due to the Vsurer, tooke vpon good ground, That prou'd well built vpon? Wee were no fooles That knew not what wee did.
