Something fat. 'twill be the worse for him. I hope that's not material. Very much, for there is an impost set upon Knighthoods, and your friend shall pay a Noble in the pound. I do not like examinations, We shall find out the truth more easily, Some other way less noted, and that course, Should not be used, till we be sure to prove Some thing directly, for when they perceive Themselves suspected, they will then provide More warily to answer. Doth she know your Grace doth love her. She hath never heard it. Then thus my Lord; What's he that walks alone so sadly with his hands behind him? The Lord of the house, he that you desire to be acquainted with, he doth hate women for the same cause that I love them. What's that? For that which Apes want: you perceive me Sir? And is he sad, can he be sad, that hath so rich a gem under his roof, as that which I do follow? What young Ladies that? Which: Have I mine eye sight perfect, 'tis my sister, did I say the Duke had a bastard? what should she make here with him, and his Council; she hath no papers in her hand, to petition to them, she hath never a husband in prison, whose release she might sue for: That's a fine trick for a wench; to get her husband clapped up, that she may more freely, & with less suspicion, visit the private studies of men in authority. Now I do discover their consultation, yond fellow is a Pandar without all salvation; But let me not condemn her too rashly, without weighing the matter; she's a young Lady, She went forth early this morning with a waiting woman, and a Page, or so: This is no garden house, in my conscience she went forth with no dishonest intent; for she did not pretend going to any sermon in the further end of the City: Neither went she to see any odd old Gentlewoman, that mourns for the death of her husband, or the loss of her friend, and must have young Ladies come to comfort her: Those are the damnable Bawds, 'twas no set meeting certainly: for there was no wafer-woman with her, these three days, on my knowledge: I'll talk with her: Good morrow my Lord. You're welcome Sir: her's her brother come now to do a kind office for his sister, is it not strange? I am glad to meet you here Sister. I thank you good Brother: and if you doubt of of the cause of my coming, I can Satisfy you. No faith, I dare trust thee, I do suspect thou art honest, for it is so rare a thing to be honest amongst you, that some one man in an age, may perhaps suspect some two women to be honest, but never believe it verily. Let your return be sudden. Unsuspected by them.

I do not like examinations, We shall find out the truth more easilie, Some other way lesse noted, and that course, Should not be vs'de, till we bee sure to proue Some thing directlie, for when they perceiue Themselues suspected, they will then prouide More warilie to aunswere. Doth she know your Grace doth loue her. She hath neuer heard it. Then thus my Lord; Whats hee that walkes alone so sadly with his handes behind him? The Lord of the house, he that you desire to be acquainted with, hee doth hate women for the same cause that I loue them. Whats that? For that which Apes want: you perceiue me Sir? And is hee sad, can hee be sad, that hath so rich a gemme vnder his roofe, as that which I do follow? What yong Ladies that? Which: Haue I mine eye sight perfect, Tis my sister, did I say the Duke had a bastard? what should she make here with him, and his Councell; shee hath no papers in her hand, to petition to them, shee hath neuer a husband in prison, whose release she might sue for: Thats a fine tricke for a wench; to gette her husband clapt vp, that she may more freely, & with lesse suspition, visite the priuate studies of men in authority.
