Marked words are the most distinguishing words of T3: doctor, master, cure, disease, pray, physic, physician, mr, sick, lady.

No doubt of that sir, your wife can furnish you with notes out of her Cotations. I and give him a two tagged point to tie 'em together. But how came you to detect her? Why thus sir: getting the word, I dogged her to the Family where closing with her I whispered so pleasing a tale in her ear, that I got from her her wedding Ring, & here 'tis. Well, out of that ring we will wring matter that shall carry meat i'th' mouth. But what witness or proof can you produce to make good your wives iniquity, and your own Cuckoldry Master Lipsalve, and Master gudgeon, who were her companions at that same time. Very good are they cited in the quorum nomina? they will be here sir. If they be they will bewray all. So much the better 'twill savour well for Master Purge. You understand my case now? D. Gl And mine too sir? I do I do, they are as different as a Doctor & a Dunce, a man and a beast, here's the Compendium; yours master Doctor stands upon the negative, & yours master Purge upon the affirmative Pauca sapienti, I ha''t, I ha''t. Mine is very currant sir, I can show you good gilt. I marry, there spoke an Angel, guilt's currant indeed, let me feel't let me feellt. I mean my wives guilt. Master Poppin, you shall have Innocence to speak for me? Tut, Innocence is a fool, I care not for's company, I can speak enough without him. Then I hope you will be as good to us, as the five-finger at Maw. No rather as Hercules, to lip labour 'em with the Club Law, tut let me alone. O are you here sir, I have brought you a full barn to glut your greedy appetite if you have any maw, feed here till you choke again: Now shall I see the whole Carcase of your knavery ripped up, if thou hast any grace, now will thy red beard turn white upon't. O how have I been tossed from post to pillar, in this libidinous world: the yoke I bear Is so uneven, as if an Innocent Lamb And a mad harebrained Ox should draw together: But I must have patience there's no remedy. there's some difference between these two tempers. I would give a hundred pounds my wife had so gentle a spirit. My wife must needs be gentle, for she can bear double. Here comes master Doctor, now rig up your vessels, every one to his Tackling. Good day to all at once, and peace amongst you: fie how I sweat, I think Vulcan near toiled so at his Anvil, as I have done, and all to make maids water to slake Cupid's fire, and to turn his shafts from the featherbed to the bed post, from the heart to the heel: Come master Poppin shall we to this gear?
