So do I. my fathers a Gentleman, Work upon that now; Eastward hoe. Sir, Eastward hoe, will make you go Westward ho; I will no longer dishonest my house, nor endanger my stock with your licence; There sir, there's your Indenture, all your apparel (that I must know) is on your back; and from this time my door is shut to you: from me be free; but for other freedom, and the moneys you have wasted; Eastward ho, shall not serve you.

Now sirrah, you? hear you? you shall serve me no more neither; not an hour longer. What mean you sir? I mean to give thee thy freedom; & with thy freedom my daughter: & with my daughter a father's love. And with all these such a portion, as shall make Knight Petronel himself envy thee: you're both agreed? are ye not? With all submission, both of thanks and duty. Well then, the great power of heaven bless & confirm you. And, Goulding, that my love to thee may not show less than my wives love to my eldest daughter; thy marriage feast shall equal the Knights and hers. Let me beseech you, no Sir, the superfluity and cold meat left at their Nuptials, will with bounty furnish ours. The grossest prodigality is superfluous cost of the Belly: nor would I wish any invitement of States or friends, only your reverent presence and witness shall sufficiently grace and confirm us. Son to mine own bosom, take her and my blessing: The nice fondling, my Lady sir-reverence, that I must not now presume to call daughter, is so ravished with desire to handsel her new Coach, and see her knights Eastward Castle, that the next morning will sweat with her busy setting forth, away will she and her mother, and while their preparation is making, ourselves with some two or three other friends will consummate the humble match, we have in Gods name concluded.
