nes, such vertue cannot bee Deryvd from base and obscure parentadge. _Treadway_. Whats then your end and purpose? _Raphael_. To redeeme her Out of this gayle of sinne and leprosye, This mart of all diseases, where shee lyves Still under the comande and Tyrany Of a most base hee-bawde: about which busines Wee have allready traffict. _Treadway_. Well, if so, And to dispose her elsewhere to her goodd, Provided still that vertue be your ayme, I cannot but commende your charity And to my power I'l seeke to further it. _Raphael_. You so intyre mee to you. Within theire! _Enter the Clowne_. _Clowne_. Within theire is nowe without heare: your worshipps pleasure? _Raphael_. Hye to the next key and inquire for one cald Seignior _Mildewe_ and resolve him from mee that I have kept apointment: the somms redy and present to bee tendred. _Clowne_. Who? the _Frenshe_ monster,[48] _Neapolitan_ Seignor, the man-makarel[49] and marchant of madens-fleshe that deales altogether in flawed ware and crackt comodityes? the bawdy broker, I meanes, where a man for his dollers may have choyse of diseases, and som tymes the pox too, if hee will leeve beehind him a good pawne for it. _Raphael_.

Is this all, syr? _Raphael_. Yes all, and heares the somme. _Clowne_. A small somme of that is worthe all the busines that I am sent about, for the all in all on't is I am afrayde that all will proove woorthe nothinge. _Treadway_. And yet mee thinkes ere folly you conclude You should a little stagger. _Raphael_. Should? wherein? _Treadway_. For many reasons: Il alleadge som fewe. Who knwes but this your fayre and seeminge saynt, Thoughe disposd well and in her owne condition Of promisinge goodnes, yet livinge in the seminary Of all libidinous actions, spectars, sights, Even in the open market where sinne's sould Where lust and all uncleanes are commerst As freely as comodityes are vended Amongst the
