. _Rog._ Yes, I do take the air many mornings on foot, three or four miles for eggs: but why move you that? _Wel._ To know whether it might become your function to bid my man to neglect his horse a little to attend on me. _Roger._ Most properly Sir. _Wel._ I pray you doe so then: the whilst I will attend your Lady. You direct all this house in the true way? _Roger._ I doe Sir. _Wel._ And this door I hope conducts to your Lady? _Rog._ Your understanding is ingenious. [_Ex. severally._ _Enter young_ Loveless _and_ Savil, _with a writing._ _Sa._ By your favour Sir, you shall pardon me? _Yo. Lo._ I shall bear your favour Sir, cross me no more; I say they shall come in. _Savil._ Sir, you forget who I am? _Yo. Lo._ Sir, I do not; thou art my Brothers Steward, his cast off mill-money, his Kitchen Arithmetick. _Sa._ Sir, I hope you will not make so little of me? _Yo. Lo._ I make thee not so little as thou art: for indeed there goes no more to the making of a Steward, but a fair _Imprimis_, and then a reasonable _Item_ infus'd into him, and the thing is done. _Sa._ Nay then you stir my duty, and I must tell you? _Young Lo._ What wouldst thou tell me, how Hopps grow, or hold some rotten discourse of Sheep, or when our Lady-day falls? Prethee farewel, and entertain my friends, be drunk and burn thy Table-books: and my dear spark of velvet, thou and I. _Sa._ Good Sir remember? _Young Lo._ I do remember thee a foolish fellow, one that did put his trust in Almanacks, and Horse-fairs, and rose by Hony and Pot-butter. Shall they come in yet? _Sa_. Nay then I must unfold your Brothers pleasure, these be the lessons Sir, he left behind him. _Young Lo_. Prethee expound the first. _Sa_. I leave to maintain my house three hundred pounds a year; and my Brother to dispose of it. _Young Lo_. Mark that my wicked Steward, and I dispose of it? _Sav_. Whilest he bears himself like a Gentleman, and my credit falls not in him. Mark that my good young Sir, mark that. _Young Lo_. Nay, if it be no more I shall fulfil it, whilst my Legs will carry me I'le bear my self Gentleman-like, but when I am drunk, let them bear me that can. Forward dear Steward. _Sav_. Next it is my will, that he be furnished (as my Brother) with Attendance, Apparel, and the obedience of my people. _Young Lo_. Steward this is as plain as your old Minikin-breeches. Your wisdom will relent now, will it not? Be mollifie
