Wou'd I cou'd come to speak to _Bellmour_, which I dare not do in publick, lest I betray him. I long to be resolv'd where 'twas Sir _Feeble_ was last night--if it were he--by which I might find out my invisible Mistress. _Noi_. Noble Mr. _Wasteall_-- [_Salutes him, so does_ Bearjest. _Bel_. Will you please to sit, Sir? _Gay_. I have a little business, Sir--but anon I'll wait on you--your Servant, Gentlemen--I'll to _Crap_ the Scrivener's. [_Goes out_. Sir _Cau_. Do you know this _Wasteall_, Sir?-- [_To_ Noisey. _Noi_. Know him, Sir! ay, too well-- _Bea_. The World's well amended with him, Captain, since I lost my Money to him and you at the _George_ in _White-Fryers_. _Noi_. Ay, poor Fellow--he's sometimes up, and sometimes down, as the Dice favour him-- _Bea_. Faith, and that's pity; but how came he so fine o'th' sudden? 'Twas but last week he borrowed eighteen pence of me on his Waste-Belt to pay his Dinner in an Ordinary. _Bel_. Were you so cruel, Sir, to take it? _Noi_. We are not all one Man's Children; faith, Sir, we are here to Day, and gone to Morrow-- Sir _Cau_.

Ay, and makes 'em too, I'll warrant him; a dangerous Fellow-- _Noi_. Sometimes he begs for a lame Soldier with a wooden Leg. _Bea_. Sometimes as a blind Man, sells Switches in _New-Market_ Road. _Noi_. At other times he runs the Country like a Gipsey--tells Fortunes and robs Hedges, when he's out of Linen. Sir _Cau_. Tells Fortunes too!--nay, I thought he dealt with the Devil --Well, Gentlemen, you are all wide o' this Matter--for to tell you the Truth--he deals with the Devil, Gentlemen --otherwise he could never have redeem'd his Land. [Aside. _Bel_. How, Sir, the Devil! Sir _Cau_. I say the Devil; Heaven bless every wise Man from the Devil. _Bea_. The Devil, sha! there's no such Animal in Nature; I rather think he pads. _Noi_. Oh, Sir, he has not Courage for that--but he's an admirable Fellow at your Lock. Sir _Cau_. Lock! My S
