Sir, my Ladie _Angellina_-- _Eust_. What of her? _And_. She's carri'd away too. _Mir_. How? _And_. While you were absent, a crew of Monsieur _Lewis_ friends and kinsmen, by force, brake in at th' back part of the house, and took her away by violence; faithful _Andrew_ (as this can witness for him) did his best in her defence, but 'twould not do. _Mir_. Away, and see our Horses sadled, 'tis no time to talk, but do. _Eustace_, you now are offer'd a spatious field, and in a pious War to exercise your valour; here's a cause, and such a one, in which to fall is honourable, your dutie and reverence due to a fathers name commanding it; but these unnatural jars arising between Brothers (should you prosper) would shame your victory. _Eust_. I would do much, Sir, but still my rep[u]tation! _Mir. Charles_ shall give you all decent satisfaction; nay, joyn hands, and heartily, why, this is done like Brothers; and as old as I am, in this cause that concerns the honour of our Family, Monsieur _Lewis_ (if reason cannot work) shall find and feel there's hot blood in this arm, I'le lead you bravely. _Eust_.

SCENA II. _Enter_ Lewis, Brisac, Angelli[n]a, Sylvia, _Officers_. _Lew_. I'm deaf to all perswasions. _Bri_. I use none, nor doubt I, though a while my innocence suffers, but when the King shall understand how false your malice hath inform'd him, he in justice must set me right again. _Ang_. Sir, let not passion so far transport you, as to think in reason, this violent course repairs, but ruins it; that honour you would build up, you destroy; what you would seem to nourish, if respect of my preferment or my pattern may challenge your paternal love and care, why do you, now good fortune has provided a better Husband for me than your hopes could ever fancy, strive to rob me of him? In what is my Lord _Charles_ defective, Sir? unless deep Learning be a blemish in him, or well proportion'd limbs be mulcts in nature, or, what you only aim'd at, large Revenues, are, on the sudden, grown distasteful to you. Of what can you accuse him? _Lew_. Of a Rape done to Honour, which thy ravenous l
