Yes, an't please you, sir: he told me two gentlemen had willled him to procure a warrant from his master (which I have about me) to be served on one DOWNRIGHT. It is honestly done of you both; and see, where the party comes, you must arrest: serve it upon him, quickly, afore he be aware— Bear back, master MATTHEW. Master DOWNRIGHT, I arrest you, i'the queen's name, and must carry you afore a justice, by virtue of this warrant. Me, friend? I am no DOWNRIGHT, I. I am master STEPHEN, you do not well, to arrest me, I tell you, truly: I am in nobody's bonds, nor books, I, would you should know it. A plague on you heartily, for making me thus afraid afore my time. Why, now are you deceived, gentlemen? He wears such a cloak, and that deceived us: But see, here 'a comes, indeed! this is he, officer. Why how now, signor gull! are you turned filcher of late? come, deliver my cloak. Your cloak, sir? I bought it, even now, in open market. Master DOWNE-RIGHT, I have a warrant I must serve upon you, procured by these two gentlemen. These gentlemen? these rascals? Keep the peace, I charge you, in her majesties name. I obey thee. What must I do, officer? Go before, master justice CLEMENT, to answer what they can object against you, sir. I will use you kindly, sir. Come, let's before, and make the justice, Captain— The varlet's a tall man! afore heaven! Gull, you'll gi' me my cloak? Sir, I bought it, and I'll keep it. You will. ay, that I will. Officer, there's thy fee, arrest him. Master STEPHEN, I must arrest you. Arrest me, I scorn it. There, take your cloak, I'll none on't. Nay, that shall not serve your turn, now, sir. Officer, I'll go with thee, to the justices: bring him along. Why, is not here your cloak? what would you have? I'll ha'you answer it, sir. Sir, I'll take your word; and this gentleman's, too: for his appearance. I'll ha' no words taken. Bring him along. Sir, I may choose, to do that: I may take bail. 'Tis true, you may take bail, and choose; at another time: but you shall not, now, varlet. Bring him along, or I'll swinge you. Sir, I pity the gentleman's case. Here's your money again. 'Sdeynes, tell not me of my money, bring him away, I say. I warrant you he will go with you of himself, sir. Yet more ado? I have made a fair mash on't. Must I go? I know no remedy, master STEPHEN. Come along, afore me, here. I do not love your hanging look behind. Why, sir. I hope you cannot hang me for it. Can he, fellow? I think not, sir. It is but a whipping matter, sure! Why, then, let him do his worst, I am resolute. NAy, but stay, stay, give me leave: my chair, sirrah. You, master KNO'WELL, say you went thither to meet your son.
