The Bride's Father and a surgeon! what new device is towards? I'll apply but one Emplastrum consolidans more: I think that's a term of art. I come not to be jeered. To be rewarded; accept of this sir. My thankfulness. This is more than my practice would have deserved; for to say truth though I can out face it with talking, though I am neither parson nor vicar yet my cures serve to maintain sextons. I take my leave sir. The wound was very slight sir. Indeed Mr. Raven you escaped a scouring in your belly: if you had miscarried, the Monsieur for all the separation betwixt his doublet and breeches should have trust for't, but that he is run away. Escaped I'm glad of that: it shall be useful. Being past danger cosin, we would gladly Be satisfied who 'twas that did attempt This mischief on you: you have hitherto Seemed as unwilling he should be discovered. If 'twere Theophilus, all diligence Shall be employed to find him, that he may Pay law her due: his flight makes it suspicious. Good sir forbear that trouble. If he be fled with his fair Mistress, 'tis A discreet policy to shun the danger, Her parents anger might bring on him. 'Twas The French man wounded me. On what occasion? None sir that I know: I provoked him not; Unless he meant to rob me. Will you sir Justify this on oath? Were there necessity: 'Tis otherwise sufficient I have said it. Bring in the Monsieur. How sir! is he taken! Yes sir; with many trinkets that were yours. I am restored to my first state. We met him: And for some reason you shall know anon Brought him back with us. I am still discovered. 'Tis needful sir this man should be committed; That being accused he may be soon produced Upon occasion. Me have no for to kill de man: de teeves have mine, True; me take de jenteluman from de dutchman and de Spaniard: me offer too to kiss de jenteluman; an de young gentleman in black dat hurt de man, almost kill me but dat me beg pardon. I have lighted upon it. Unto you all I do submit myself, And what I shall discover. I confess I may seem not to merit a belief That have already feigned so many untruths: But the officiousness of them considered I hope you'll credit this. It was my cosin Theophilus, that hurt me: But I know not Whether 'twere chance or malice for this gentleman Attempting rape upon your daughter sir, I drew a pointless weapon I had got; My cousin's sudden apprehension Perhaps mad him suspect me: and not knowing I meant a rescue of the gentlewoman (Whose voice I heard, but could not through the mist Discern her person) made his rash hand wound me; Which for his sake I joy is not proved mortal, Nor will I hope.
