Nay, an you begin to quarrel, Gentlemen, I'll leave you. I ha' paid for quarrelling too lately: look you, a device, but shifting in a hand for a foot. God b'w'you. Wilt thou than leave thy brethrens in tribulation? For this once, Sir. Thou art a halting Neutral stay him there, stop him: that will not endure the heat of persecution. How now, what's the matter? He is fled, he is fled, and dares not sit it out. What, has he made an escape, which way? follow, neighbour Haggis. O me! in the stocks! have the wicked prevailed? Peace religious sister, it is my calling, comfort yourself, an extraordinary calling, and done for my better standing, my surer standing, hereafter. By whose warrant, by whose warrant, this? O, here's my man! dropped in, I looked for. Ha! O good Sir, they have set the faithful, here to be wondered at; and provided holes, for the holy of the land. Had they warrant for it? showed they justicce Overdoo's hand? if they had no warrant, they shall answer it. Sure you did not lock the stocks sufficiently, neighbour Toby! No! see if you can lock 'em better. They are very sufficiently locked, and truly, yet some thing is in the mater. True, your warrant is the matter that is in question, by what warrant? Mad man, hold your peace, I will put you in his room else, in the very same hole, do you see? How! is he a madman! Show me justice Overdoo's warrant. I obey you. You are a mad fool, hold your tongue. In justice Overdoo's name, I drink to you, and here's my warrant. Alas poor wretch! how it earns my heart for him! If he be mad, it is in vain to question him. I'll try though, friend: there was a Gentlewoman, showed you two names, some hour since, Argalus and Palemon, to mark in a book, which of 'em was it you marked? I mark no name, but Adam Overdoo, that is the name of names, he only is the sufficient Magistrate; and that name I reverence, show it me. This fellows mad indeed: I am further of, now, than afore. I shall not breathe in peace, till I have made him some amendss. Well, I will make another use of him, is come in my head: I have a nest of beards in my Trunk, one some thing like his. This mad fool has made me that I know not whether I I have locked the stocks or no, I think I locked 'hem. Take Adam Overdoo in your mind, and fear nothing. 'Slid, madness itself, hold thy peace, and take that. Strikest thou without a warrant? take thou that. We are delivered by miracle; fellow in fetters, let us not refuse the means, this madness was of the spirit: The malice of the enemy hath mocked itself.
