Yes by the man's, side like a Gentleman only by the father's side, but 'twill near be any perfect peace. Why, why wilt thou marry then? Because I hope to have some good behaviour of my wife, for the peace I never look for: but soft ye fellow Slack, methinks your suit is like a hard hearted Landlord, it begins to receive great rents. ay, I would, my Master had given me a suit of Buff when he gave me this. Phoe, buff is nought man, that hath been out of request quest ever since Soldiers have been out of date, and they poor men are now used like Almanacs of the last year, either clap-vp behind the door, or thrust clean out of door: but if thou wilt have a suit that shall last indeed (lad) get thee a suit of law. O, I do not like such suits, for commonly they that have many of them go almost naked for want of clothes, yet I cannot deny but they are very lasting, but they are subject to many discommodities: so if there be any goodness in one of them, your Lawyers like moths, eat shrewd holes to it, but your Country Attorneys like lice never leave wrighting and wrangling till they have crept into it, but when it hath been well worn and grown third bare, they even like Lice drop off, and leave it. What sayst thou by a suit at court then? I marry sir, I like that well, for commonly he that hath but one suit when he comes there, hath two ere he come away, for if he sue by Petition, it lies so long in your courtier's pocket, that it is another suit to get his Petition back again. There is none suddenly dispatched of his suit there but a tailor, marry he stays not at all, unless his suit be to have money for his suit, and so he makes his suit two suits too ere he go. But come, shall we go see what follows after our masters new divorce. Why is a divorced? ay, I think by this time, for he swore he would be presently. By my troth, I am sorry for it, for in my conscience it is without cause, it grieves me to see him in these humours, for I thank his Worship he hath ever used me well, I am bound to pray for his life. And methinks that's a strange thing, I see no reason for't that any servingman should pray for his masters life, considering all that he have, is in reversion of him: but come, let's follow him, for if he miss us, he'll fret like a grogram I, and fume like a stew pot.
