Faith not I, not much, saving that I have heard many years ago that he was a reasonable honest man but for's religion, and they say still he's a kind of a Papist. What a rascal 'stis? do I call thee to speak in his behalf, and dost thou prate of religion? what has he or I to do with religion? I dare swear that he's an honest man of no religion. and yonder's the man, let's see now who dares charge him with religion. I hope he and I have work enough and never busy our selves about religion. So many bankrupts, and housekeepers now adays 'tis time to look about us. What? dost thou find fault with housekeepers: you'll please him never a whit with that, for an't were not for good housekeepers he would have many hungry meals. I find fault with such housekeepers as dare not show their faces without their own doors. I cannot endure this. I'll complain to him on you both, if ever he light on you within the lash of the law, there's no mercy: and 'tis no matter, teach you to speak so evil of him behind his back. Why coxcomb; how canst thou tell his back was towards us. Well, mock on, 'twas in his absence, that's all one: I'll tell him if you'll give me nothing. Give thee, yes a rope these caterpillars are all for what will you give me like Judas. Bonus dies▪ signior Antonio, Magnifico; the worthiest gentleman that ever consorted with the bankers of this city. Sir I hope you make no doubt nos teneri & firmiter obligari tibi aut tuo certo atturnato, etc. And further obligamus nos, & quemlibet nostrum, haeredes, & executores nostros etc. The condition is to be ever ready at your lowest service. What a rogue 'stis? he can speak nothing but obligations as Ovid did verses. gramercies gentle Noverindo: how go the rates now? Sir you may have as much as you will at eight in the hundred, others pay ten. I thank you: than I have a match already: a friend of mine must use a thousand pound and entreats my band; I'll say he shall have it by my means. Thou shalt have forty shillings in the hundred for brocage: and I will gain other forty shillings, this is but twelve in the hundred that's dog cheap, I know some pay a great deal more: And I'll have good land twice the worth for my counter security. Let me alone to hamper them. You are wiser sir, fast bind fast find. And if they fail you'll trice them. I trow upon the mortgage. Ah ha, art advised of that? surely I shall do them good to make the fools take heed of others. And what fault is in me, a bargain is a bargain: and if I give them a little more for their land when it is forfeited, they may thank me but no parting with the land, for it is so deep if a man would dig it that it reacheth to hell, and there's no redemption.
