Very well this. He should not take knowledge of 'em in his place, indeed. This is Sir Petronel Flash. How! And this Francis quicksilver. Is't possible? I thought your Worship had been gone for Virginia, Sir. You are welcome home sir. Your Worship has made a quick return, it seems and no doubt a good voyage. Nay pray you be covered Sir. How did your biscuit hold out Sir? methought, I had seen this Gentlemen afore; good Master quicksilver! How a degree to the Southward has changed you. Do you know 'em Father? Forbear your offers a little, you shall be heard anon. Yes, Master Deputy: I had a small venture with them in the voyage, a Thing, called a Son in Law, or so. Officers, you may let 'em stand alone, they will not run away, I'll give my word for them. A couple of very honest Gentlemen. One of 'em was my Prentice, M. Quicksilver, here, & when he had 2. year to serve, kept his whore, & his hunting Nag, would play his 100. pound at Gresco, or Primero, as familiarly (& all a'my purse) as any bright piece of Crimson on 'em all, had his changeable trunks of Apparel, standing at livery, with his Mare, his Chest of perfumed linen, and his Bathing tubs, which when I told him off, why he— he was a Gentleman, and I a poor Cheapside Groom. The remedy was, we must part. Since when he hath had the gift of gathering up some small parcels of mine, to the value of 500. pound dispersed among my customers to furnish this his Virginian venture; wherein this knight was the chief, sir Flash: one that married a daughter of mine, Ladified her, turned two thousand pounds worth of good land of hers, into Cash, within the first week, bought her a new Gown, & a Coach, sent her to seek her fortune by land, whilst himself prepared for his fortune by sea, took in fresh flesh at Billingsgate, for his own diet, to serve him the whole voyage, the wife of a certain usurer, called Security, who hath been the broker for 'em in all this business: Please Master Deputy, Work upon that now. If my worshipful Father have ended. I have, it shall please M. Deputy. Well then, under correction.— Now son, come over 'em with some fine gird, as thus, Knight you shall be encountered, that is, had to the Counter; or Quicksilver, I will put you in a crucible or so. Sir Petronel Flash, I am sorry to see such flashes as these proceed from a Gentleman of your Quality, & Rank; For mine own part, I could wish, I could say, I could not see them: but such is the misery of Magistrates, and men in Place, that they must not wink at Offenders. Take him aside, I will hear you anon sir. I like this well yet: there's some grace i'the knight, left, He cries.
