This is a very plain trick, and needs no such encomions, and Epithets of commendation as you bestow on it. Is it so Sir? there's your judgement, and bolt soon shot. But if I show that it is a very difficile, ambiguous, perilous, perplexed and involved stratagem, what will become of your opinion hereafter? Who? here's a business about riding a few miles by many gentlemen's houses, as though it requires such ingenious circumstances. ay, that it does Sir. And I undertake to make it appear though perhaps you have near a capcase to put it in. First signor Anthony so soon as he puts foot in the stirrup, is to fear lest the Master & Mistress should not be at home & his perplexity in that case is very hardly dissolved. Secondly how to carry his tales and discourses methodically. Thirdly to take heed he discover no familiarity with the gentleman's adversary. Lastly what kind of farewell he were best to take at parting. These be matters of mighty moment (as thou seest) which he hath to cast, and recast; to meditate, and ponder; to toss, and tumble; to revolve, and resolve; to put forward with Pro, and pull back with contra, to object, and confute; to throw doubts and mishaps like snowballs, and against them erect bulwarks & defences, to admit wounds & scars, and to apply salves; to conclude, come what come will to have cordials in store, & all little enough to save his best beloved in his purse. And yet thou Dunstable breed thoughtst it as easy a matter to perform them handsomely as to make a good posset with a quart of new like and a quantity of clear chamber-lye. Sir I confess all these be far above my element: and that in many years study I cannot comprehend one of them, therefore, I leave them to your cavalier without Peer in mine opinion. Hath he any more qualities of this nature? Let's have them, for at least I shall learn some wit out of them. Thou learn wit out of them? never while thou livest: not honestly neither. They will rather rob thee of those wits thou hast, he hath infinite such as these, which in very pity to thee I forbear to relate at this time. These are enough to conceive at once. For if I should drive them all into thy brains together, though it were with a ten-pennynail, thou couldst not carry them away: but rather they would make thee mad in the case thou art now. Why? what case am I in thinkst thou? Not sit I was to receive such potions without due preparation. What shall I do to be made fit for their operation? I'll take any course thou wilt prescribe me to get perfection. And I can imitate like an Ape.
