I will, but how many have you made instruments herein? Faith none, but my cozen Lightfoot and a player. But may you trust the player? Oh exceeding well, we'll give him a speech a understands not, but now I think out, what's to be done with your Father's man Peter? Why the least quantity of drink, will lay him dead asleep; But hark, I hear my father coming, soon in the evening i'll convey you in. Till when, let this outward ceremony, be the true pledge of our inward affections. So, this goes better forward than the Plantation in Virginia: but see here comes half the west Indies, whose rich mines this night I mean to be ransacking Then you'll seal for this small Lordship you say, Tomorrow your money shall be rightly told up for you to a penny. I pray let it, and that your man may set contents upon every bag. Indeed by that we may know what we steal without labour, for the telling on't over; how now gent. are ye agreed upon the price of this earth and clay. Yes faith Mr. Haddit the gent, your friend here makes me pay sweetly for't but let it go, I hope to inherit heaven an't be but for doing gentlemen pleasure. Peter. Anon sir. I wonder how Haddit came by that gay suit of clothes, all his means was consumed long since. Why sir being undone himself; a lives by the undoing or by’r lady, it may be by the doing of others, or peradventure both a decayed gallant may live by any thing, if 'a keep one thing safe. Gentlemen, I'll to the Scriveners to cause these writings to be drawn. Pray do sir, we'll now leave you till the morning. Nay, you shall stay dinner, i'll return presently; Peter some bear here for these worshipful gentlemen. We shall be bold no doubt, and that old penny-father you'll confess by tomorrow morning. Then his daughter is certainly thine, and condescends to all thy wishes. And yet you would not once believe it, as if a females favour could not be obtained by any, but he that wears the Cap of maintenance. When 'tis nothing but acquaintance and a bold spirit, That may the chiefest prize 'mongst all of them inherit, Well thou hast got one deserves the bringing home with trumpets, and falls to thee as miraculously as the 1000. pound did to the Tailor, thank your good fortune, but must Hogs man be made drunk, By all means: and thus it shall be effected, when 'a comes in with beer, do you upon some slight occasion fall out with him, and if you do give him a cuff or two, it will give him cause to know you're the more angry, then will I slip in and take up the matter, and striving to make you two friends, we'll make him drunk.
