to counsel, and what may be done by man's wit or valour, we'll put in Execution. _Bri._ Do, or never hope I shall know thee. [Exeunt. _Enter _Lewis. _Lew._ O Sir, have I found you? _Bri._ I never hid my self; whence flows this fury, with which, as it appears, you come to fright me? _Lew._ I smell a plot, meer conspiracy amongst ye all to defeat me of my Daughter; and if she be not suddenly deliver'd, untainted in her reputation too, the best of _France_ shall know how I am jugled with.

SCENA II. _Enter_ Miramont, Andrew. _Mir._ Do they [chafe] roundly? _And._ As they were rubb'd with Soap, Sir, and now they swear aloud, now calm again; like a Ring of Bells, whose sound the wind still alters, and then they sit in counsel what to do, and then they jar again what shall be done; they talk of Warrants from the Parliament, Complaints to the King, and Forces from the Province; they have a
