O good Macilente, let's follow and appease her, or the Peace of my life is at an end. Now Pease, and not Peace feed that life, whose head hangs so heavily over a woman's Manger. Help me brother: God's body and you come here, I'll do myself a mischief. Nay, hear me sweet wife, unless thou wilt have me go, I will not go. Tut, you shall ne'er ha' that vantage of me, to say you are undone by me: I'll not bid you stay, I. Brother, sweet brother, here's four Angels, I'll give you toward your Suit; for the love of Iesu, and as ever you came of Christen creature, make haste to the water side (you know where Master Fastidius uses to land) and give him warning of my husband's intent; and tell him of that lean rascal's treachery: O Iesu, how my flesh rises at him? nay, sweet brother make haste; you may say I would have writ to him, but that the necessity of the time would not suffer it: He cannot choose but take it extraordinarily from me: and Commend me to him, good brother: say I sent you.

O, on my Soul you wrong her, Macilente, Though she be froward, yet I know she is honest. Well, then have I no judgement; would nay woman (but one that were wild in her affections) have broke out into that immodest and violent Passion against her husband? or is't possible— If you love me, forbear; all the Arguments i'the world shall never wrest my heart to believe it. How like you the Deciphering of his Dotage? O, strangely; and of the others Envy too, that labours so seriously to set debate betwixt a man and his wife, Stay, here comes the Knight Adventurer. ay, and his Scrivener with him. I wonder Monsieur Fastidius comes not! but Notary, if thou please to draw the Indentures the while, I will give thee the Theory. With all my heart Sir; and I'll fall in hand with 'em presently. Well then, first; the Sum is to be understood. Good sir. Next, our several Appellations, and Character of my Dog and Cat must be known: show him the Cat Sirrah. So sir. Then, that the intended Point, is the Turks Court in Constantinople: the Time limited for our Return, a year: and that if either of us miscarry, the whole Venture is lost. These are General; conceivest thou? or if either of us turn Turk. I Sir. Now for Particulars: that I may make my travails by Sea or Land, to my best liking: and that (hiring a Coach for myself) it shall be lawful for my Dog and Cat to ride with me in the said Coach. Very good sir.
