are most honest, you shall find me no less, and so I leave you, prosper your business my friends. [_Ex._ Mer. _Unc._ Pray Heaven it may, Sir. _Lance._ Nay if he will be mad, I'le be mad with him, and tell him that I'le not spare him, his Father kept good Meat, good Drink, good Fellows, good Hawks, good Hounds, and bid his Neighbours welcome; kept him too, and supplied his prodigality, yet kept his state still; must we turn Tenants now, after we have lived under the race of Gentry, and maintained good Yeomantry, to some of the City, to a great shoulder of Mutton and a Custard, and have our state turned into Cabbidge Gardens, must it be so? _Unc._ You must be milder to him. _Lance._ That's as he makes his game. _Unc._ Intreat him lovingly, and make him feel. _Lance._ I'le pinch him to the bones else. [_Valen._ _Within_.] And tell the Gentleman, I'le be with him presently, say I want money too, I must not fail boy. _Lance._ You'l want Cloaths, I hope. _Enter_ Valentine. _Val._ Bid the young Courtier repair to me anon, I'le read to him. _Unc._ He comes, [b]e diligent, but not too rugged, start him, but affright him not. _Val._ Phew, are you there? _Unc._ We come to see you Nephew, be not angry. _Val._ Why do you dog me thus, with these strange people? why, all the world shall never make me rich more, nor master of these troubles. _Tenants._ We beseech you for our poor Childrens sake. _Val._ Who bid you get 'em? have you not threshing work enough, but Children must be bang'd out o'th' sheaf too? other men with all their delicates, and healthful diets, can get but wind eggs: you with a clove of Garlick, a piece of Cheese would break a Saw, and sowre Milk, can mount like Stallions, and I must maintain these tumblers. _Lance._ You ought to maintain us, we have maintained you, and when you slept provided for you; who bought the Silk you wear?
