Good Captain, Excuse my absence to our friends within, I have affairs concerns me with my kinsman, Which done, we both return to wait on 'em. I shall sir. Now proceed. We are kinsmen. More we are friends. And shall I doubt to speak to Beauford any thing, My love directs me to? What needs this circumstance? we were not wont to talk at such a distance, You appear wild. I have been wild indeed In my ungoverned youth, but ha' reclaimed it, And am to laden with the memory of former errors, That I desire to be confessed. Confessed? I am no Ghostly father. But you must hear, you may absolve me too: If thou hast any discontentments prithee take other time For their discourse, I am in expectation of Marriage, I would not interrupt my joys.

In compliment with Mr. Rawbone, who is newly entered sir. O there's a piece of folly. A thing made up of parchment and his bonds Are of more value than his soul and body, Were any man the purchaser, only wise In his hereditary trade of usury, Understands nothing but a scrivener, As if he were created for no use But to grow rich with interest, to his ignorance, He has the gift, of being impudent, What will he grow to, if he live, that is So young a monster? With your favour sir If you hold no better opinion of this Citizen It puzzles, me why you invite him, to your house And entertainment, he pretending affection to your daughter, Pardon me sir if I seem bold. As some men Milisent Do suffer spiders in their Chamber, while They count them profitable vermin.
