Was not this shilling well ventured, Win? for our liberty? Now we may go play, and see over the Fair, where we list ourselves; my mother is gone after him, and let her e'en go, and lose us. Yes Iohn, but I know not what to do. For what, Win? For a thing, I am ashamed to tell you, i'faith, and 'tis too far to go home. I pray thee be not ashamed, Win. Come, i'faith thou shall not be ashamed, is it any thing about the Hobby-horse-man? an't be, speak freely. Hung him, base Bobehin, I scorn him; no, I have very great, what sha'call'um, Iohn. o! Is that all, Win? we'll go back to Captain Iordan; to the pig-woman's, Win. he'll help us, or she with a dripping pan, or an old kettle, or something. The poor greasy soul loves you, Win, and after we'll visit the Fair all over, Win, and, see my Puppet play, Win, you know it's a fine matter, Win. Let's away, I counseled you to pack up afore, Ione. A pox of his Bedlam purity. He has spoiled half my ware: but the best is, we loose nothing, if we miss our first Merchant. It shall be hard for him to find, or know us, when we are translated, Ione. MY Masters, I do make no doubt, but you are officers. What than, Sir? And the Kings loving, and obedient subjects. Obedient, friend? take heed what you speak, I advise you: Oliver Bristle advises you. His loving subjects, we grant you: but not his obedient, at this time, by your leave, we know ourselves, a little better than so, we are to command, Sr. and such as you are to be obedient. Here's one of his obedient subjects, going to the stocks, and we'll make you such another, if you talk. You are all wise enough i'your places, I know. If you know it, Sir, why do you bring it in question? I question nothing, pardon me. I do only hope you have warrant, for what you do, and so, quit you, and so, multiply you. What's he? bring him up to the stocks there. Why bring you him not up? If you have justice Overdoo's warrant, 'tis well: you are safe; that is the warrant of warrants. I'll not give this button, for any man's warrant else. Like enough, Sir, but let me tell you, an you play away your buttons, thus, you will want 'em ere night, for any store I see about you: you might keep 'em, and save pins, I wiss. What should he be, that doth so esteem, and advance my warrant? he seems a sober and discreet person! it is a comfort to a good conscience, to be followed with a good fame, in his sufferings. The world will have a pretty taste by this, how I can bear adversity: and it will beget a kind of reverence, toward me, hereafter, even from mine enemies, when they shall see I carry my calamity nobly, and that it doth neither break me, nor bend me.

Come, i'faith thou ſhall not be aſham'd, is it any thing about the Hobby-horſe-man? an't be, ſpeake freely. Hang him, baſe Bobehin, I ſcorne him; no, I haue very great, what ſha'call'um, Iohn. ô! Is that all, Win? wee'll goe backe to Captaine Iordan; to the pig-womans, Win. hee'll helpe vs, or ſhe with a dripping pan, or an old kettle, or ſomething. The poore greaſie ſoule loues you, Win, and after we'll viſit the Fayre all ouer, Win, and, ſee my Puppet play, Win, you know it's a fine matter, Win. Let's away, I counſell'd you to packe vp afore, Ione. A poxe of his Bedlem purity. Hee has ſpoyl'd halfe my ware: but the beſt is, wee loſe nothing, if wee miſſe our firſt Merchant. It ſhall be hard for him to finde, or know vs, when we are tranſlated, Ione. MY Maſters, I doe make no doubt, but you are officers. What then, Sir? And the Kings louing, and obedient ſubiects. Obedient, friend? take heede what you ſpeake, I aduiſe you: Oliuer Briſtle aduiſes you. His louing ſubiects, we grant you: but not his obedient, at this time, by your leaue, wee know our ſelues, a little better then ſo, wee are to command, Sr. and ſuch as you are to be obedient. Here's one of his obedient ſubiects, going to the ſtocks, and wee'll make you ſuch another, if you talke. You are all wiſe enough i'your places, I know.

What's hee? bring him vp to the ſtocks there. Why bring you him not vp? If you haue Iuſtice Ouerdoo's warrant, 'tis well: you are ſafe; that is the warrant of warrants. I'le not giue this button, for any mans warrant elſe. Like enough, Sir, but let me tell you, an' you play away your buttons, thus, you will want 'hem ere night, for any ſtore I ſee about you: you might keepe 'hem, and ſaue pinnes, I wuſſe. What ſhould hee be, that doth ſo eſteeme, and aduance my warrant? he ſeemes a ſober and diſcreet perſon! it is a comfort to a good conſcience, to be follow'd with a good fame, in his ſufferings. The world will haue a pretty taſt by this, how I can beare aduerſity: and it will beget a kind of reuerence, toward me, hereafter, euen from mine enemies, when they ſhall ſee I carry my calamity nobly, and that it doth neither breake mee, nor bend mee.
