hese suggestions That do arise upon this accident? _Lon_. There is no hope he should recover speech; The wives do say he's ready now to leave This greevous world, full-fraught with treacherie. 3. Methinkes if _Beech_ himselfe be innocent, That then the murtherer should not dwell farre off; The hammer that is sticking in his head, Was borrowed of a Cutler dwelling by, But he remembers not who borrowed it: He is committed that did owe[33] the hammer, But yet he standes uppon his innocence; And _Beeches_ absence causeth great suspition. _Lo_. If _Beech_ be faulty, as I do not thinke, I never was so much deceiv'd before. Oh had you knowne his conversation, You would not have him in suspition. 3. Divels seeme Saints, and in these[34] hatefull times, Deceite can beare apparraunt signes of trueth, And vice beare shew of vertues excellence. _Enter the two Watermen_. 1.

Leave your repining: Sir, we thanke you hartely. 3. Farewell good fellowes.--Neighbour, now be bold: [_Exeunt Watermen_. They dwell not farre that did this bloodie deed, As God no doubt will at the last reveale, Though they conceale it nere so cunninglie. All houses, gutters, sincks and crevices Have carefully been sought for, for the blood; Yet theres no instaunce found in any place. _Enter a Porter and a Gentleman_.
