Oh cry you mercy 'tis Blastfield indeed. But under both your worship's favours I know where to find him presently. That's all your refuge. News, good news Master Esay. What boy? Master Blastfield my master has received a thousand pound, and will be at his lodging at supper. happy news, hear you that Master Quomodo? 'tis enough for you to hear that, you're the fortunate man sir. Not now I beseech your good worships. Gentleman, what's your other name? Easy. O Master Esay— I would we could rather pleasure you otherwise Master Esay, you should soon perceive it, i'll speak a proud word we have pitied more Gentlemen in distress, than any two Citizens within the freedom— but to be bail to seven hundred pound action, is a matter of shroud weight. I'll be bound to secure you. Tut, what's your bond sir? Body, goods, and Lands, immediately before Master Quomodo. Shall we venture once again, that have been so often undone by Gentlemen? I have no great stomach to't, it will appear in us more pity than wisdom. Why should you say so sir? I like the Gentleman's face well, he does not look as if he would deceive us. O not I sir. Come we'll make a desperate voyage once again, we'll try his honesty, and take his single bond, of body Goods and Lands. I dearly thank you sir. Master Quomodo? Your worships. We have took a Course to set your prisoner free. Your worships are good bail you content me. Come then, and be a witness to a Recullisance. With all my heart sir. Master Esay, you must have an especial care now to find out that Blastfield. I shall have him at my lodging sir. The will you selse, Maister Quomodo will come vpon vt, and you. I know that sir. Well since I see you have such a good mind to be honest, I'll leave some greater affairs, and sweat with you to find him myself. hear then my misery ends. A stranger's kindness oft exceeds a friend's. Thou art deceived thy misery but begins, " To beguile goodness, is the core of sins. My love is such unto thee, that I die As often as thou drinkest up injury, Yet have no means to warn thee from't, for he That sows in Craft, does rape in jealousy. Now the letters made up and all, it wants but the print of a seal, and away it goes to Master Quomodo: Andrew Lethe is well whipped in't, his name stands in a white sheet here, and do penance for him. You have shame enough against him, if that be good. First as a contempt of that reverend Ceremony, he has in hand, to wit, marriage. Why do you say to wit marriage, when you know there's none will marry that's wise. Had it not more need then, to have wit to put to't if it be grown to a Folly? Y'ave wpm, I'll give't you.
