ay, Porters may; but you, that are substantial honest Citizens, there is no fear to be made of your breaking, you know there's no man so low but God can raise him; and though I am now out at heels, or so as you think, I am in the way of preferment, & hope to be able to pay every man within this hour. We should be glad to see it. But how pray Sir? How? why very easily, if I can compass it: The truth is, though you would little think it, I am a suitor for my L. Ramsey. But I dare swore she is no suitor to you. Why that's true too; for if she were a Suitor to me, we should be man and wife straight & you should have your money within this half hour. But look, look where she comes: as you are goodmen mum, patience and pray for my proceedings: If I do speed as I am partly persuaded, you shall have your own with the advantage, if I should be crossed you know the worst, forbearance is no acquittance: but mum, if it prove a match & any of you should chance to be in the Counter, you know my marriage being spread, my word will be currant, then mum. Madam you are welcome into Lumberstreet. I thank your courtesy, good M. Deane. See how fortunately all things chance, if it happen as I hope it will, she taking a liking to me, here is a Priest to marry us presently Madam. Would you any business with me sir? Faith Lady necessary business, & not to go far about the bush, I am come to be a Suitor unto you, & you know the fashion of young men when they come a-wooing to ancient widows, the way to speed is to begin thus. You are very forward sir. You would say so Lady if you knew how forward I would be: but Madam you are rich, and by my Troth I am very poor, and I have been as a man should say stark nought: but he goes far that never turns, and if now I have a desire to mend & being in so good a way, you know how uncharitable it were in you to put me out of it, you may make an honest man of me, if it, please you, and when thou hast made me one, by my Troth Mall I'll keep myself, for I am a Gentle man both by the father's side and mother's side, and though I have not the muck of the world I have a great deal of good Love, and I prithee accept of it.
