Why look you mother, this is long of you, For God's sake father hark, why these effects Come still from women's malice, part I pray, Comes, Will. and Hodge come all and help us part them, Father, but hear me speak one word no more: Father, but hear me speak, the use your will. Cry peace between ye for a little while. Good husband hear him speak. Good husband hear him. Master hear him speak, he's a good wise young stripling, for his years I tell ye, & perhaps may speak wiser than an elder body, therefore hear him. Master hear and make an end, you may kill one another in jest, and be hanged in earnest. Come let us hear him, then speak quickly Philip Thou shouldst have done ere this, speak Speak O Lord what haste you make to hurt yourselves Good Philip use some good persuasions To make them friends. Yes, I'll do what I can, Father and Master Goursey both attend, It is presumption in so young a man, To teach where he might learn or be derect, Where he hath had direction but in duty. He may persuade as long as his persuase, Is backed with reason and a rightful suit, Physics first rule is this, as I have learned, Kill the effect by cutting of the cause, The same effects of ruffian outrages, Comes by the cause of malice in your wines, Had not they two been foes, you had been friends, And we had been at home, and this same war, In peaceful sleep had near been dreamt upon, Mother, and mistress Goursey to make them friends, Is to be friends yourselves, you are the cause, And these effects proceed you know from you, Your hates give life unto these killing strifes, But die, and if that envy die in you, Fathers yet stay, O speak, O stay a while, Francis persuade thy mother master Goursey, If that my mother will resolve your minds, That 'tis but mere suspect, not common proof, And if my father swears he's innocent, As I durst pawn my soul with him he is, And if your wife vow truth and constancy, Will you be then persuaded? Philip, if thy father will remit, The wounds I gave him, and if these conditions May be performed, I banish all my wrath. And if thy mother will but clear me Philip, As I am ready to protest I am, Than master Goursey is my friend again. Hark mother, now you hear that your desires, May be accomplished, they will both be friends If you'll perform these articles. Shall I be friends with such an enemy? What say you unto my persuase; I say she's my deadly enemy. ay but she will be your friend if you revolt. The words I said, what shall I eat a truth? Why hark ye mother. Mother what say you? Why this I say she slandered my good name. But if she now deny it, 'tis no defame. Why shall I think her hate will yield so much:
