It's done in conceit already, see where 'a comes. willt please you to taste a cup of September bear gentiem. Pray begin, we'll pledge you sir. It's out sir. Li. then my hand in sir. Why goodman hobby horse, if we out of our gentility offered you to begin, must you out of your rascality needs take it. Why how now sirs, what's the matter. The gentleman here falls out with me, upon nothing in the world but mere courtesy, By this light but a shall not, why cousin Lightfoot. Is his name Lighfoote, a plague on him, a has a heavy hand. Peace be here: for I came late enough from a madman. My young Lord, God save you. And you also: I could speak it in lattine, but the phrase is common. True my Lords, and what's common, ought not much to be dealt with all: but I must desire your help my Lord to end a Controversy here, between this gentleman my friend, and honest Peter, who I dare be sworn is as ignorant as your Lordship. That I will, but my masters thus much i'll say vntee, if so be this quarrel may be taken up peaceably, without the endangering of my own person, well, and good, otherwise I will not meddle therewith, for I have been vexed late enough already. Why then my Lord if it please you, let me, being your inferior, decree the cause between them. I do give leave, or permit. Then thus I will propound a reasonable motion; how many cuffs Peter did this gent. out of his fury make thee partaker of? Three at the least sir. All which were bestowed upon you for beginning first Peter. Yes indeed sir. Why then here the sentence of your suffering, you shall both down into Master hog's seller Peter, and whereas you began first to him, so shall he there to you, and as he gave you three cuffs, so shall you retort of in defiance of him, three black jacks, which if he deny to pledge; then the glory is thine, and he accounted by the wise discretion of my Lord here a flincher. A very reasonable motion. Why so, this is better than being among madmen yet. Were you so lately with any my Lord? Yes faith, I'll tell you all in the Seller, how I was taken for an Ambassador, and being no sooner in the house, but the mad man carries me up into the garret for a spy, and very roundly bade me untruss, and had not a courteous serving man conveyed me away whilst he went to fetch whips I think in my conscience: not respecting my honour a would a breeched me. By Lady, and 'twas to be feared; but come my Lord we'll hear the rest in the seller. And honest Peter thou that hast been grieved, My Lord and I, will see thee well relieved.
