O God Sir. Nay no complement your loves command it: shall's to dinner Gentlemen, come master Bellamont I'll be the Gentleman usher to this fair Lady. Here is your ring Mistress; a thousand times,— and would have willingly lost my best of maintenance that I might have found you hair so tractable. Sir I am still myself, I know not by what means you have grown upon my husband, he is much deceived in you I take it: will you go in to dinner— O God that I might have my will of him & it were not for my husband i'd scratch out his eyes presently. Welcome to London bonny mistress Kate, thy husband little dreams of the familiarity that hath passed between thee & I Kate. no matter if he did: he ran away from me like a base slave as he was, out of Yorkshire, and pretended he would go the Island voyage, since I near heard of him till within this fortnight: can the world condemn me for entertaining a friend, that am used so like an Infidel? I think not, but if your husband knew of this he'd be divorced. He were an ass then, no wisemen should deal by their wives as the sale of ordinance passeth in England, if it break the first discharge the workman is at the loss of it, if the second the Merchant, & the workman jointly, if the third the Merchant, so in our case, if a woman prove false the first year, turn her upon her father's neck, if the second, turn her home to her father but allow her a portion, but if she hold pure metal two year & fly to several pieces, in the third, repair the ruins of her honesty at your charges, for the best piece of ordinance, may be cracked in the casting, and for women to have cracks and slaves, alas they are borne to them, now I have held out four year, doth my husband do any things about London doth he swagger? O as tame as a fray in Fleetestreet, when their are nobody to part them. I ever thought so, we have notable valiant fellows about Doncaster, they'll give the lie and the stab both in an instant. You like such kind of manhood best Kate. Yes in troth for I think any woman that loves her friend, had rather have him stand by it then lie by it, but I pray thee tell me, why must I be quartered at this citizens garden house, say you. The discourse of that will set thy blood on fire to be revenged on thy husband's forehead piece. will you go in to dinner sir? will you lead the way forsooth? No sweet forsooth we'll follow you. O Master Bellamont: as ever you took pity upon the simplicity of a poor abused gentlewoman: will you tell me one thing. Any thing sweet Mistress Mayberrie.
