O Lord sir there's a simple putting off: more, more, a hundred of them. Sir I am a poor friend of yours, that loves you. O Lord sir, thick, thick, spare not me. I think sir, you can eat none of this homely meat. O Lord sir; nay put me too't, I warrant you. You were lately whipped sir as I think. O Lord sir, spare not me. Do you cry O Lord sir at your whipping, and spare not me? Indeed your O Lord sir, is very sequent to your whipping: you would answer very well to a whipping if you were but bound too't. I ne'er had worse luck in my life in my O Lord sir: I see things may serve long, but not serve ever. I play the noble huswife with the time, to entertain it so merrily with a fool. O Lord sir, why there't serves well again. And end sir to your business: give Helen this, And urge her to a present answer back, Commend me to my kinsmen, and my son, This is not much. Not much commendation to them. Not much imployement for you, you understand me. Most fruitfully, I am there, before my legegs. Hast you again. They say miracles are past, and we have our Philosophical persons, to make modern and familiar things supernatural and causeless. Hence is it, that we make trifles of terrors, ensconcing ourselves into seeming knowledge, when we should submit ourselves to an unknown fear. Why 'tis the rarest argument of wonder, that hath shot out in our latter times. And so ' 'tis. To be relinquished of the Artists. So I say both of Galen and Paracelsus. Of all the learned and authentic fellows. Right so I say. That gave him out incurable. Why there 'tis, so say I too. Not to be helped. Right, as 'twere a man assured of a— Uncertain life, and sure death. Just, you say well: so would I have said. I may truly say, it is a novelty to the world. It is indeed if you will have it in showing, you shall read it in what do ye call there. A showing of a heavenly effect in an earthly Actor. That's it, I would have said, the very same. Why your Dolphin is not lustier: fore me I speak in respect— Nay 'tis strange, 'tis very strange, that is the brief and the tedious of it, and he's of a most facinerious spirit, that will not acknowledge it to be the— Very hand of heaven. I, so I say. In a most weak— And debile minister great power, great trancendence, which should indeed give us a further use to be made, then alone then recou'ry of the king, as to be Generally thankful. I would have said it, you say well: here comes the King. Rustic, as the Dutchman says: I'll like a maid the Better whilst I have a tooth in my head: why he's able to lead her a Carranto.

O Lord ſir theres a ſimple putting off: more, more, a hundred of them. Sir I am a poore freind of yours, that loues you. O Lord ſir, thicke, thicke, ſpare not me. I thinke ſir, you can eate none of this homely meate. O Lord ſir; nay put me too't, I warrant you. You were lately whipt ſir as I thinke. O Lord ſir, ſpare not me. Doe you crie O Lord ſir at your whipping, and ſpare not me? Indeed your O Lord ſir, is very ſequent to your whipping: you would anſwere very well to a whipping if you were but bound too't. I nere had worſe lucke in my life in my O Lord ſir: I ſee things may ſerue long, but not ſerue euer. I play the noble huſwife with the time, to entertaine it ſo merrily with a foole. O Lord ſir, why there't ſerues well agen. And end ſir to your buſineſſe: giue Hellen this, And vrge her to a preſent anſwer backe, Commend me to my kinſmen, and my ſonne, This is not much. Not much commendation to them. Not much imployement for you, you vnderſtand me. Moſt fruitfully, I am there, before my legegs. Haſt you agen. They ſay miracles are paſt, and we haue our Philoſophicall perſons, to make moderne and familiar things ſupernaturall and cauſeleſſe. Hence is it, that we make trifles of terrours, enſconcing our ſelues into ſeeming knowledge, when we ſhould ſubmit our ſelues to an vnknowne feare. Why 'tis the rareſt argument of wonder, that hath ſhot out in our latter times. And ſo 'tis. To be relinquiſht of the Artiſts. So I ſay both of Galen and Paracelſus. Of all the learned and authenticke fellowes. Right ſo I ſay. That gaue him out incureable. Why there 'tis, ſo ſay I too. Not to be help'd. Right, as 'twere a man aſſur'd of a— Vncertaine life, and ſure death. Iuſt, you ſay well: ſo would I haue ſaid. I may truly ſay, it is a noueltie to the world. It is indeede if you will haue it in ſhewing, you ſhall reade it in what do ye call there. A ſhewing of a heauenly effect in an earthly Actor. That's it, I would haue ſaid, the verie ſame. Why your Dolphin is not luſtier: fore mee I ſpeake in reſpect— Nay 'tis ſtrange, 'tis very ſtraunge, that is the breefe and the tedious of it, and he's of a moſt facinerious ſpirit, that will not acknowledge it to be the— Very hand of heauen. I, ſo I ſay. In a moſt weake— And debile miniſter great power, grear trancendence, which ſhould indeede giue vs a further vſe to be made, then alone then recou'ry of the king, as to bee Generally thankfull. I would haue ſaid it, you ſay well: heere comes the King. Luſtique, as the Dutchman ſaies: Ile like a maide the Better whil'ſt I haue a tooth in my head: why he's able to leade her a Carranto.
