Nay take me with you again ere you go sir, I offer him no trash tell him, but present money, say, where I know some Gentlemen in town ha' been glad, and are glad at this time, to take up commodities in Hawks hoods, and brown paper. Oh horrible, are there such fools in town? I offer him no trash tell him, upon my Religion you may say,— Now my sweet Shortyard,— now the hungry fish begins to nibble: one end of the worm is in his mouth i'faith. Why stand I here (as late our graceless Dames That found no eyes) to see that Gentleman Alive in state and credit Help to rip up himself does all he can, Why am I wife to him that is no man? I suffer in that Gentleman's confusion. Nay be persuaded in that master Blastfield 'tis ready money at, the Merchants beside, the Winterseason and all falls in as pat as can be to help it. Well Master Esay, none but you could have persuaded me to that, come, would you would dispatch then Master Quomodo, where's this cloth? Full and whole within, all of this piece of my Religion Master Blastfield, feel't, nay feel't and spare not, Gentlemen! your fingers and your judgement. Clothe's good. By my troth exceeding good cloth, a good wale t'as, Falslight. I'm near out 'the shop sir. Go, call in a Porter presently to carry away the cloth with the Star mark, whither will you please to have it carried Master Blastfield? Faith to Master Beggar-land, he's the only Merchant now: or his Brother Master Stilliard-downe, there's little difference. Y'ave happened upon the money men sir, they and some of their Brethren I can tell you, will not stick to offer thirty thousand pound to be cursed still, great moneyed men, their stocks lie in the Poors throats: but you'll see me sufficiently discharged Master Blastfield ere you depart. You have always found me righteous in that. Falslight. Sir. You may bring a Scrivener along with you. I'll remember that sir. Have you sent for a Citizen Master Blastfield. No faith not yet— Boy! What must you do with a Citizen sir? A custom they're bound to o'late by the default of euill debtor, no Citizen must lend money without two be bound in the bond, the second Man enters but for custom sake. No, and must he needs be a Citizen? Byth' mass stay, i'll learn that Master Quomodo! Sir. Must the second party that enters into bond only for fashion's sake needs be a Citizen? what say you to this Gentleman for one? A lass sir, you know he's a mere stranger to me, I neither am sure of his going or abiding, he may Inn here tonight, and ride away tomorrow, (although I grant the chief burden lies upon you) yet we are bound to make choice of those we know sir.
