his Daughters, and give thee quiet possession of all. [To _Wit._ Sir _Pat._ Fair Lady, you'll take me along with you? [Snaps, pulls off his Hat, and comes up to her. L. _Fan._ My Husband!--I'm betray'd-- Sir _Pat._ Husband! I do defy thee, Satan, thou greater Whore than she of _Babylon_; thou Shame, thou Abomination to thy Sex. L. _Fan._ Rail on, whilst I dispose my self to laugh at thee. Sir _Pat._ _Leander_, call all the House in to be a Witness of our Divorce. [Exit _Lean._ L. _Fan._ Do, and all the World, and let 'em know the Reason. Sir _Pat._ Methinks I find an Inclination to swear,--to curse my self and thee, that I cou'd no better discern thee; nay, I'm so chang'd from what I was, that I think I cou'd even approve of Monarchy and Church-Discipline, I'm so truly convinc'd I have been a Beast and an Ass all my Life.

[_Lod._ and _Isab._ kneel. Sir _Pat._ Why, God-a-mercy--some comfort that,--God bless ye.--I shall love Disobedience while I live for't. _Lod._ I am glad on't, Sir, for then I hope you will forgive _Leander_, who has married my Sister, and not my Mother. Sir _Pat._ How! has he served me so?--I'll make him my Heir for't, thou hast made a Man of me, my Boy, and, faith, we will be merry,--Fair Lady, you may depart in peace, fair Lady, restoring my Money, my Plate, my Jewels and my Writings, fair Lady.-- L. _Fan._ You gave me no Money, Sir, prove it if you can; and for your Land, 'twas not settled with this Pr
