Dispersed in sundry villages about, Some here with us in Highgate, some at Finchley, Totnam, Enfield, Edmonton, Newington, Islington, Hogsdon, Pancridge, Kensington, Some nearer Thames, Ratcliffe, Blackwall and Bow, But our chief strength must be the Londoners, Which ere the Sun tomorrow shine, Will be near fifty thousand in the field. Mary God dild ye dainty my dear, but upon occasion sir Roger Acton, doth not the King know of it, and gather his power against us. No, he's secure at Eltham. What do the Clergy? Fear extremely, yet prepare no force. In and out, to and fro, Bully my boikin, we shall shall the world afore us, I vow by my worship, when I am knighted, we'll take the King napping, if he stand on their part. This night we few in Highgate will repose, With the first cock we'll rise and arm ourselves, To be in Ficket field by break of day, And there expect our General. Sir Iohn Oldcastle, what if he come not? Yet our action stands, Sir Roger Acton may supply his place. True M. Bourne but who shall make me knight? He that hath power to be our General. Talk not of trifles, come let's away, Our friends of London long till it be day. By my troth, thou art as jealous a man as lives. Canst thou blame me Doll, thou art my lands, my goods, my jewels, my wealth, my purse, none walks within xl. miles of London, but a plies thee as truly, as the parish does the poor man's box. I am as true to thee, as the stone is in the wall, and thou knowest well enough sir Iohn, I was in as good doing, when I came to thee, as any wench need to be: and therefore thou hast tried me, that thou hast: by God's body, I will not be kept as I have been, that I will not. Doll, if this blade hold, there's not a peddler walks with a pack, but thou shalt as boldly choose of his wares, as with thy ready money in a merchants shop, we'll have as good silver as the King coins any. What is all the gold spent you took the last day from the Courtier? 'tis gone Doll, 'tis flown, merely come, merely gone, he comes a horse back that must pay for all, we'll have as good meat, as money can get, and as good gowns, as can be bought for gold, be merry wench, the maltman comes on Monday. You might have left me at Cobham, until you had been better provided for. No sweet Dol, no, I do not like that, yond old ruffian is not for the priest, I do not like a new clerk should come in the old belfry. Ah thou art a mad priest i'faith. Come Doll, I'll see thee safe at some alehouse here at Cray, and the next sheep that comes shall leave his fleece.

Disperst in sundry villages about, Some here with vs in Hygate, some at Finchley, Totnam, Enfield, Edmunton, Newington, Islington, Hogsdon, Pancredge, Kenzington, Some neerer Thames, Ratcliffe, Blackwall and Bow, But our chiefe strength must be the Londoners, Which ere the Sunne to morrow shin, Will be nere fiftie thousand in the field. Mary God dild ye daintie my deere, but vpon occasion sir Roger Acton, doth not the King know of it, and gather his power against vs. No, hee's secure at Eltham. What do the Cleargie?
