man_.

_Friend._ How now, Major; what, they say _Bacon_ scar'd you all out of
the Council yesterday; What say the People?

_Dull._ Say? they curse us all, and drink young _Frightall's_ Health,
and swear they'll fight through Fire and Brimstone for him.

_Friend._ And to morrow will hollow him to the Gallows, if it were his
chance to come there.

_Dull._ 'Tis very likely: Why, I am forced to be guarded to the Court
now, the Rabble swore they would _De-Wit_ me, but I shall hamper some of
'em. Wou'd the Governour were here to bear the brunt on't, for they call
us the evil Counsellors.

Enter _Hazard_, goes to _Friendly_.

Here's the young Rogue that drew upon us too, we have Rods in Piss for
him, i'faith.

Enter _Timorous_ with _Bailiffs_, whispers to _Dullman_, after

_Friend._ From whence proceeds this, Mr. Justice? you said nothing of
this at Madam _Ranter's_ yesterday; you saw him there, then you were
good Friends.

_Tim._ Ay, however I have carried my Body swimmingly before my Mistress,
d'ye see, I had Rancour in my Heart, Gads zoors.

_Friend._ Why, this Gentleman's a Stranger, and but lately come ashore.

_Haz._ At my first landing I was in company with this Fellow and two or
three of his cruel Brethren, where I was affronted by them, some Words
pass'd, and I drew--

_Tim._ Ay, ay, Sir, you shall pay for't,--why--what, Sir, cannot a civil
Magistrate affront a Man, but he must be drawn upon presently?

_Friend._ Well, Sir, the Gentleman shall answer your Suit, and I hope
you'll take my Bail for him.

_Tim._ 'Tis enough--I know you to be a civil Person.

_Timorous_ and _Dullman_ take their Places on a long Bench placed

themselves, then _Boozer_ and two or three more; who seat
themselves:
