e yfaith. O how the skipping of
this Christmas blocke of ours moves the block-head heart of a woman and
indeed any thing that pleaseth the foolish eye which presently runnes
with a lying tale of Excellence to the minde.

_Eug_. But I pray tell me my Lord could you tell me of a thing would
make me dance say you?

_Mom_. Well, farewell sweet Neece, I must needs take my leave in
earnest.

_Eu_. Lord blesse us, heres such a stir with your farewels.

_Mom_. I will see you againe within these two or three dayes a my word
Neece.

_Eug_. Cods pretious, two or three dayes? why this Lord is in a
