[_Exit_.

_Actus Tertius. Scena Prima_.

_Enter_ Henrique, _and_ Bartolus.

_Hen_.

You know my cause sufficiently?

_Bar_.

I do Sir.

_Hen_.

And though it will impair my honesty,
And strike deep at my Credit, yet, my _Bartolus_,
There being no other evasion left to free me
From the vexation of my spightful Brother,
That most insultingly raigns over me,
I must and will go forward.

_Bar_.

Do, my Lord,
And look not after credit, we shall cure that,
Your bended honesty we shall set right, Sir,
We Surgeons of the Law do desperate Cures, Sir,
And you shall see how heartily I'le handle it:
Mark how I'le knock it home: be of good chear, Sir,
You give good Fees, and those beget good Causes,
The Prerogative of your Crowns will carry the matter,
(Carry it sheer) the _Assistant_ sits to morrow,
And he's your friend, your monyed men love naturally,
And as your loves are clear, so are your Causes.

_Hen_.

He shall not want for that.

_Bar_.

No, no, he must not,
Line your Cause warmly, Sir, the times are Aguish,
That holds a Plea in heart; hang the penurious,
Their Causes (like their purses) have poor Issues.

_Hen_.

That way, I was ever bountiful.

_Bar_.

'Tis true, Sir,
That makes ye fear'd, forces the Snakes to kneel to ye,
Live full of mony, and supply the Lawyer,
And take your choice of what mans lands you please, Sir,
What pleasures, or what profits; what revenges,
They are all your own: I must have witnesses
Enough, and ready.

_Hen_.

You shall not want, my _Bartolus_.

_Bar_.

Substantial fearless souls, that will swear suddenly,
That will swear any thing.

_Hen_.

They shall swear truth too.

_Bar_.

That's no great matter: for variety
They may swear truth, else 'tis not much look'd after:
I will serve Process, presently, and strongly,
Upon your Brother, and _Octavio_,
_Jacintha_, and the Boy; provide your proofs, Sir,
And set 'em fairly off, be sure of Witnesses,
Though they cost mony, want no store of witnesses,
I have seen a handsome Cause so foully lost, Sir,
So beastly cast away for want of Witnesses.

_Hen_.

There shall want nothing.

_Bar_.
