hall preserve your mony, I was couzen'd when time was, we are quit Sir. _Wid._ Better and better still. _Elder Lo._ What is this fellow, Brother? _Young Lo._ The thirsty Usurer that supt my Land off. _Elder Lo._ What does he tarry for? _Young Lo._ Sir to be Landlord of your House and State: I was bold to make a little sale Sir. _More._ Am I overreach'd? if there be Law I'le hamper ye. _Elder Lo._ Prethee be gone, and rave at home, thou art so base a fool I cannot laugh at thee: Sirrah, this comes of couzening, home and spare, eat Reddish till you raise your sums again. If you stir far in this, I'le have you whipt, your ears nail'd for intelligencing o'the Pillory, and your goods forfeit: you are a stale couzener, leave my house: no more. _More._ A pox upon your house.

Faith be not merciless, but make a man; he's young and handsome, though he be my Brother, and his observances may deserve your Love: he shall not fail for means. _Wid._ Sir you speak like a worthy Brother: and so much I do credit your fair Language, that I shall love your Brother: and so love him, but I shall blush to say more. _Elder Lo._ Stop her mouth. I hope you shall not live to know that hour when this shall be repented. Now Brother I should chide, but I'le give no distaste to your fair Mistress. I will instruct her in't and she shall do't: you have been wild and ignorant, pray mend it. _Young Lo._ Sir, every day now Spring comes on. _Elder Lo._ To you good Mr. _Savil_ and your Office, thus much I have to say: Y'are from my Steward become, first your own Drunkard, then his Bawd: they say y'are excellent grown in both, and perfect: give
