Record, they say they had business. They shall know. That I am judge of Record, and what I do Record, shall stand, and they shall have no power To plead not guilty in a Scire facias, By a Recognisance. I have my terms. Good your Worship, give us not such hard words. 'tis almost as hard usage as the leaguer. Then you came from the leaguer? You may read Some adventures in our habit, we have seen, And tasted the experience of the wars. They have made me of another religion, I must turn Iew, I think, and be circumcised. I may be any thing, now I shall lose a Limb. I may go seek my pension with the soldiers. But 'tis no matter, I'll turn valiant, And fight with the stump. You are a fighter then. This doth appear to me, to be a riot. What think you, Mr. Constable? I think no less. 'twas ad terrorem populum. I know not What you mean, but I mean as your Worship means. I did perceive they had been quarreling. Why then 'twas an affray, a sudden affray, Directly against the State of Northampton. The Decimo tertio of Harry the fourth clears the doubt. How do you traverse this? what do you answer? We make a question, by your worship's favour, Under correction, whether that which was Done under foreign powers, in foreign Lands, Be punishable here or no. How prove you that? 'tis a province by itself, a privileged place, A strong corporation, and has factions In Court and City. Is inhabited With furies, that do multiply like Hydra: An army of diseases can't suppress them, Besides their many fallings tother way. I should be loath t'infringe their liberties, I'll send you to betrayed, from whence you came then. O good your Worship, hang us up at home first, Let us endure the rack or the strappado, We do submit us to your worship's censure. Have you provided sureties for the peace then? More need to provide somethings for my belly. I think they mean to keep me for a race. I am fall'n away quite, I was like a hogshead. Now I amable to run thorough my hoops. What's he that halts before me? do you mock me? 'tis ill halting before a cripple, This sore against my will, I can not help it. Would I could run away with half my teeth. Can't a man have the venerable gout, Or the bone-ache, but you must imitate him? Good Mr. justice. Mock your fellow rogues. I am none of those, that raised my fortunes with Fiddling and Tobacco. Make his Mittimus. an't please you sir, here's one has brought a Letter. From whom? He says, from one Mistress Millescent, The contents will inform you. This Lady, that has writ in your behalf, Is one I honour. How could she hear of it?

Record, they ſay they had buſines. They ſhall know. That I am Iudge of Record, and what I do Record, ſhal ſtand, and they ſhal haue no power To plead not guilty in a Scire facias, By a Recognifance. I haue my termes. Good your Worſhip, giue vs not ſuch hard words. Tis almoſt as hard vſage as the Leager. Then you came from the Leager? You may reade Some aduentures in our habit, wee haue ſeene, And taſted the experience of the warres. They haue made me of another religion, I muſt turne Iew, I thinke, and bee circumiſed. I may be any thing, now I ſhall loſe a Limme. I may goe ſeeke my penſion with the ſouldiers. But ti no matter, I'll turne valiant, And fight with the ſtumpe. You are a fighter then. Tis doth appeare to mee, to bee a ryot. What thinke you, Mr. Conſtable? I thinke no leſſe. Twas adterrorem populum. I know not What you meane, but I meane as your Worſhip meanes. I did perceiue they had beene quarelling. Why then 'twas an affray, a ſudden affray, Directly againſt the State of Northampton. The Decimo tertio of Harry the fourth cleares the doubt. How doe you trauerſe this? what doe you anſwere? We make a queſtion, by your Worſhips fauour, Vnder correction, whether that which was Done vnder forraine powers, in forraine Lands, Be puniſhable heere or no. How proue you that? Tis a prouince by it ſelfe, a priuiledg'd place, A ſtrong corporation, and has factions In Court and Citty. Is inhabited With furies, that do multiply like Hydra: An army of diſeaſes can't ſuppreſſe them, Beſides their many fallings t'other way. I ſhould be loth t'infringe their liberties, Ile ſend you to betryed, from whence you came then. O good your Worſhip, hang vs vp at home firſt, Let vs indure the racke or the ſtrappado, We do ſubmit vs to your Worſhips cenſure. Haue you prouided ſureties for the peace then? More neede to prouide ſomethings for my belly. I thinke they meane to keepe me for a race. I am falne away quite, I was like a hogſhead. Now I amable to runne thorow my hoopes. Whats he that halts before doe you mocke me? Tis ill halting before acripple, This ſore againſt my will, I can not helpe it. Would I could runne away with halfe my teeth. Can't a man haue the venerable gowt, Or the bone-ache, but you muſt imitate him? Good Mr. Iuſtice. Mocke your fellow rogues. I am none of thoſe, that rayſd my fortunes with Fiddling and Tobacco. Make his Mittimus. And't pleaſe you ſir, here's one has brought a Letter. From whom? He ſayes, from one Miſtriſſe Milleſcent, The contents will informe you. This Lady, that has writ in your behalfe, Is one I honour. How ould ſhe heare of it?
