state of _Venice_ claims o're _Candy_, is
By purchase, not inheritance or Conquest:
And hence grows all our quarrel.

Arcanes:

So an Usurer
Or Lumbard-Jew, might with some bags of trash,
Buy half the Western world.

Cassilanes:

Mony, _Arcanes_,
Is now a God on Earth: it cracks virginities,
And turns a Christian, Turk;
Bribes justice, cut-throats honour, does what not?

Arcanes:

Not captives _Candy_.

Cassilanes:

Nor makes thee dishonest,
Nor me a Coward---Now Sir, here is homely,
But friendly entertainment.

Fernando:

Sir, I find it.

Arcanes:

And like it, do ye not?

Fernando:

My repair speaks for me.

Cassilanes:

_Fernando_ we are speaking off--how this?

[Enter _Gonzalo_, and _Gaspero_, with a Casket]

Gonzalo:

Your friend, and servant.

Cassilanes:

Creditors, my Lord,
Are Masters and no Servants: as the world goes,
Debters are very slaves to those to whom
They have been beholding to; in which respect,
I should fear you _Gonzalo_.

Gonzalo:

Me, my Lord?
You owe me nothing.

Cassilanes:

What, nor love, nor mony?

Gonzalo:

Yes, love, I hope, not mony.

Cassilanes:

All this braverie
Will scarcely make that good.

Gonzalo:

'Tis done already:
See Sir, your Mortgage which I only took,
In case you and your son had in the wars
Miscarried: I yield it up again: 'tis yours.

Cassilanes:

Are ye so conscionable?

Gonzalo:

'Tis your own.

Cassilanes:

Pish, pish, I'le not receive what is not mine,
That were a dangerous business.

Gonzalo:

Sir, I am paid for't,
The summes you borrowed, are return'd; The bonds
Cancel'd, and your acquittance formerly seal'd:
Look here Sir, _Gaspero_ is witness to it.

Gaspero:

My honoured Lord, I am.

Gonzalo:

My Lord _Fernando_,
_Arcanes_ and the rest, you all shall testifie,
That I acquit Lord _Cassilane_ for ever,
Of any debts to me.

Gaspero:

'Tis plain and ample:
Fortune will once again smile on us fairly.

Cassilanes:

But hark ye, hark ye, if you be in earnest,
Whence comes this bounty? or whose is't?

Gonzalo:

In short,
