Reverend Doctor we have stayed your coming: Crier cry silence? Master Doctor: I have heard in general terms, the Tales of master Doctor Glister, and master Purge, which have in mutual manner jumped into the quagmire of my mind, out of which quagmire (by your enforcement, and mine own duty) I pluck them up by the ears, and thus in naked appearance I present them. Ad rem, ad rem master Poppin: leave your allegories, your metaphors, and Circumlocutions, and to the point? Then briefly thus: I have compared their tales, how short they will come of their wives I know not: and first for mistress Purge, crier call mistress Purge? Rebecca Purge, wife to Peter Purge Pothicary, appear upon thy purgation, upon pain of excommunication. Here I am: O times impiety! Hither I come from out the harmless fold, To have my good name eaten up by wolves: See how they grin? well, the weak must to the wall, I must bear wrong, but shame shall them befall. Who is her accuser? Her own husband upon the late discovery of a Crew of narrow Rust strait laced, yet loose bodied Dames, with a Rout of Omnium gatherums, assembled by the title of the family of love; which master Doctor if they be not punished and suppressed by our Club Law, each man's copy hold, will become free hold, specialities will turn to generalities and so from unity to parity, from parity to plurality, & from plurality to universality, their wives, the only ornaments of their houses and of all their wares, goods and Chattel, the chief movables will be made common. Most Voluble and eloquent proctor. by’r lady these Enormities must and shall be redressed, otherwise I see their Charter will be infringed, and their ancient Staff of government the Club (from whence we derive our law of Castigation) this club I say (they seeming nothing less than men by their forepart) will be turned upon their own heads. Speak Rebecca Purge art thou one of this family? hast thou ever known the body of any man there, or elsewhere Concupiscentically? No M. Doctor, those are but devices of the wicked to trap the Innocent, but I thank my spirit I have fear before my eyes, which my husband sees not, because something hangs in's light. That's my horns: she flouts me to my face, and I will not endure it: I shall carry her mark to my grave: master Doctor she has given me that, that Esculapius (were he now extant) could not heal, nor Edax rerum take away? Produce your witness M. Purge, and blow not your own horn? Master Lipsalve and master gudgeon, let them be called. Laurence Lipsalve & Gregory Gudgen late of hic & ubique in the County of nusquam Gentlemen, come into the Court, and give your evidence, upon pain of that which shall ensue.
