_Raph_. Dragge them boathe
Before the magistrate.
_Sarlab_. Mee? wherefore? why?
_Godf_. As his abettor and ill counseller:
One would have burnt the villadge, and the other
Threatned to fyar the cloyster.
_Raph_. Boathe acts capitall
And worthy seveare censure.
_Mild_. Though thou pleedst interest
In waye of earnest in _Palestra_, yet
Robb mee not quite, give me the tother backe,
My only portion left me by the sea
And stock to sett upp trade by.
_Scrib_. Rather torture mee
With any violent deathe.
_Tread_. Leive them in trust
And chardge of this grave reverent gentleman,
Untill you heire the sentence of the coort.
_Ashb_. I willingly accept theire patronadge:
Heere att my howse they shall have meate and harbour.
_Raph_. Nobly spoke:
Meane tyme hale these to'th coort.
_Mild_. My _Palestra_,
What? not one woord of pitye?
_Raph_. Stopp his mouthe.
_Mild_. My _Scribonia_,
Wilt thou intreate them neather?
_Tread_. Tyme's but trifled;
Away with them to justyce!
_Mild_. Take my skinne then,
Synce nothinge else is left mee.
_Clown_. That's rotten allredy and will neather
make goodd leather nor parchement ... theire.
[_Exeunt_.
_Ashb_. Com, damsalls, followe mee where I shall leade:
I have a cross wyfe at home I tell you that,
But one that I presume will not bee jealous
Of too such harmeles sowles.
_Pal_. You are to us
A patron and defender.
_Scrib_. Bounde unto you
Not as an host but father.
[_Exeunt_.

You shall remove mee from all jelosyes
If you betake you to your sowndest sleeps,
And without more inquiry.
_Lady Av_. Syr, remember

Fellowny, murder, treason and such lyke
Of that grosse nature maye be capitall;
Not folly, error, trespasse.
_Lord Av_. You advyse well,
Lett mee advyse you lyke-wyse: instantly
Retyre in to your chamber, without noyse
Repl
