Your lordship is most welcome unto Cobham, But I am very sorry, my good lord, My name was brought in question in this matter, Considering I have many enemies, That threaten malice, and do lie in wait To take advantage of the smallest thing. But you are welcome, and repose your lordship, And keep yourself here secret in my house, Until we hear how the lord Herbert speeds: Here comes my man. Sirrah, what news? Yonder's one master Butler of the privy chamber, is sent unto you from the King. I pray God the lord Herbert be not dead, and the King hearing whither I am gone, hath sent for me. Comfort yourself my lord, I warrant you. Fellow, what ails thee? dost thou quake? dost thou shake? dost thou tremble? ha? Peace you old fool, sirrah, convey this gentleman in the back way, and bring the other into the walk. Come sir. you are welcome, if you love my lord. God have mercy gentle friend. I thought as much, that it would not be long before I heard of something from the King, about this matter. Sir, yonder my lord walks, you see him, I'll have your men into the Cellar the while. welcome good master Butler. Thanks, my good lord: his Majesty doth commend his love unto your lordship, and wils you to repair unto the court. God bless his Highness, and confound his enemies, I hope his Majesty is well. In health, my lord. God long continue it: methinks you look as though you were not well, what ails you sir? Faith I have had a foolish odd mischance, that angers me: coming over Shooter's hill, there came a fellow to me like a sailor, and asked me money, and whilst I staid my horse to draw my purse, he takes th'advantage of a little bank and leaps behind me, whips my purse away, and with a sudden jerk I know not how, threw me at least three yards out of my saddle. I never was so robbed in all my life. I am very sorry sir for your mischance, we will send our warrant forth, to stay such suspicious persons as shall be found, than master Butler, we will attend you. I humbly thank your lordship, I will attend you. I have the law to warrant what I do, and though the Lord Cobham be a noble man, that dispenses not with law, I dare serve process were a five noble men, though we summoners make sometimes a mad slip in a corner with a pretty wench, a Sumner must not go always by seeing, a man may be content to hide his eyes, where he may feel his profit: well, this is my Lord Cobham's house, if I can devise to speak with him, if not, I'll clap my citation upon's door, so my lord of Rochester bid me, but methinks here comes one of his men. Welcome good fellow, welcome, who wouldst thou speak with?
