You say true mistress Glister, there's help required in grafting, and how happily we come to tender our service: let our pretence be to take physic of the Doctor: and that he may with as much ease minister to us, as we to you, we'll take a lodging in his house. How say you to this, is the colour good? dost like you? Passing well: the colour is so good, that you shall wear my favour out o'the same piece. Excellent, excellent, now shall we be revenged for the whipping; mistress Glister let me be your first man? Nay soft sir: I plied her as soon as you. I should have an oar in her boat too by right? spoke by. How ill advised were you to marry one with a red beard? O master Lipsalve, I am not the first that has fallen under that ensign: there's no complexion more attractive in this time for women, than gold and red beards: such men are all liver. I, but small heart, and less honesty. Yes, they are honest too (in some kind) for they'll beg before they'll steal. That's true, for, for one that holds up his hand at the Sessions, you shall have ten come into the bawdy Court. Was ever Beard so backbitten: this were enough to make red beards turn medley: and dash 'em clean out of countenance: but I hope like mine they fear no colours: and you were ten Courtiers i'll front you: I must give you physic with a pox: well, if I pepper ye not, call me Doctor Dodipoll: Master Lipsalve and master gudgeon you are heartily welcome, I am very glad to see you well. O master Doctor, your salutation is very suspicious? Why master Lipsalve? It can scarce be hearty, for physicians are rather glad to see men ill, then well. Not so sir, you must distinguish of men: though this I know, virtue is not the end of all science, which commonly keeps the professor poor, some study questuary and gainful Arts, and every one would thrive in's calling, but i'faith gentlemen, what wind drives you hither? The wind Collect master Doctor, or some such disease But not the Stone Collect? O no sir, we have no obstructions in those parts, we are loose enough there. If you were troubled with that, my wife can tell you of an excellent remedy. We need it not, we need it not: but indeed master Doctor, for some private infirmities (which our waters shall make known to you) we desire to take some physic of you for a few days, and to that end we would take a lodging in your house during the time? Shall we entreat your favour? No entreaty gentlemen, you shall command me to search the very profundity of my skill for you. Have them in wife, and show them their lodging? I will think upon another receipt, and follow you immediately.

O maſter Lipſalue, I am not the firſt that has ſalne vnder that enſigne: thers no complexion more atractiue in this time for weomen, then gold and red beards: ſuch men are all liuer. J, but ſmall hart, and leſſe honeſty. Yes, they are honeſt too (in ſome kind) for theyle beg before they'l ſteale.

O maſter Doctor, your ſalutation is very ſuſpitious? Why maſter Lipſalue? It can ſcarce be harty, for phyſitians are rather glad to ſee men ill, then well. Not ſo ſir, you muſt diſtinguiſh of men: though this J know, vertue is not the end of all ſcience, which commonly keeps the profeſſor poore, ſome ſtudy queſtuary and gainfull Arts, and euery one would thriue in's calling, but yfaith gentlemen, what wind driues you hither?
