A pox of your hunger and thirst. Well Dad, let him have money: All he could any way get, is bestowed on a Ship, now bound for Virginia: the frame of which voyage is so closely conveyed, that his new Lady nor any of her friends know it. Notwithstanding, as soon as his ladies hand is gotten to the sale of her inheritance, and you have furnished him with money, he will instantly hoist Sail, and away. Now a Frank gale of wind go with him, Master Frank, we have too few such knight adventurers: who would not sell away competent certainties, to purchase (with any danger) excellent uncertainties? your true knight venturer ever does it. Let his wife seal today, he shall have his money today. Tomorrow she shall, Dad, before she goes into the country, to work her to which actio, with the more engines, I purpose presently to prefer my sweet Sin here, to the place of her Gentlewoman; whom you (for the more credit) shall present as your friend's daughter, a Gentlewoman of the country, new come up with a will for a while to learn fashions forsooth, and be toward some Lady; and she shall buzz pretty devices into her Lady's ear; feeding her humours so serviceablely (as the manner of such as she is you know.) True good Master Frances. That she shall keep her Port open to any thing she commends to her. A'my religion, a most fashionable project; as good she spoil the Lady, as the Lady spoil her; for 'tis three to one of one side: sweet mistress Sin, how are you bound to master Frances! I do not doubt to see you shortly wed one of the head men of our city. But sweet Frank, when shall my father Security present me? With all festination; I have broken the Ice to it already; and will presently to the knight's house, whether, my good old Dad, let me pray thee with all formality to man her. Command me Master Frances; I do hunger and thirst to do thee service. Come sweet Mistress Sin, take leave of my Wynnifride, and we will instantly meet frank Master Frances at your Ladies. Where is my Cum there? Cum? I Winnie. Wilt thou come in, sweet Cum? I Wynney, presently. I Wynney, quoth he? that's all he can do poor man; he may well cut off her name at Wynney. O 'tis an egregious Pandar! what will not an usurous knave be, so he may be riche? O 'tis a notable lewes trump! I hope to live to see dogs meat made of the old usurers flesh; Dice of his bones; and Indentures of his skin: and yet his skin is too thick to make Parchment, 'twould make good Boots for a Peter man to catch Salmon in. Your only smooth skin to make fine Vellum is your Puritans skin; they be the smoothest and slickest knaves in a country.
