Capons or Chickens to present his worship withall, _Thomas_. _Tho_. I cry your worship mercy, you sold him land the last terme; I had forgott that. _Un_. I, that lay convenient for him. I us'd him like a gentleman and tooke litle or nothing; 'twere pitty two or three hundred acres of dirt should make friends fall out: we should have gone to fenceing schools. _Tho_. How, sir? _Un_. I meane to _Westminster_ hall, and let one another blood in Lawe. _Tho_. And so the Land has parted you? _Un_. Thou saist right, _Thomas_, it lies betweene both our houses indeed. But now I am thus dignified (I thinke that's a good word) or intituled is better, but tis all one; since I am made a Captaine-- _Tho_. By your owne desert and vertue. _Un_.

An old fox[216] blade made at _Hounsloe_ heath, and then all the Bookes to be bought of warlike discipline, which the learned call Tacticks. _Tho_.
