LITIO

Marry fir, we had thought you had been on sleep within, and therefore we thought best to make you: what does Erostrato? I cannot tell you what I should say sir, the world is large and long, there may be more Philoganos and more Erostratos than one, yea and more Ferrara's, more Sicili as, and more Cathaneas: peradventure this is not that Fer rara which you sent your son unto. Sir, I Like it as evil as may be, but have you not often herd tell of the falsehood of Ferrara, and now may you see, it falls out accordingly. Well, there is never a barrel better herring, be tween you both: but in deed your officers are most to blame, that suffer such faults to escape unpunished. Nay, I think they will know as little as may be, specially when they have no gains by it, but they ought to have their ears as open to hear of such off ̄ ces, as the In gates be to receive guests. By the mass I am afeard that we shall be proved fools both two. I would think best we should go seek Erostrato him self. Sure, my mind gives me that we shall find a new E rostrato ere it be long. Why, doubt you of that? Did I not tell you of the falsehood of Ferrara master? Dulippo hath learned to play the knave indifferently well since he came hither. If there be many such witness in this country, me ̄ may go about to prove what they will in controversies here. Sir, he that will go to the civil law, must be sure of four things: first, a right and a joust cause: then a right ous doctor to plead: next, favour Coram Judice: and above all, a good purse to procure it. Favour call I, to have a friend near about the Judge, who may so solicit thy cause, as if it be right, speedy sen tense may ensue without any delays: if it be not good, then to prolong it, till at the last, thine adversary being weary, shall be glad be compound with Thee. And the other half a Devil, I hold a penny. He hath a mould there in deed: and and hold in and oh there place too, I would your nose were in it. Sir, také you heed, least he lead you to some miss chief. Well, I have told you my mind Sir, do you as you please. Beware sir, be not to lavish. Beware what you say sir. Yea, well said, tell all and more to, do? Sir, have I not told you enough of y e falsehood of Fer rara? this gentlema ̄ will not only pick your purse, but be guile you of your servant also, and make you believe he is his son. Sir no, but every thing hath a beginning. No marry, but it were good he had the most suspect that may be. I remember it well enough. Nay, that I will not marry, you have told him to much already. Can ̄ ? yes by y mass I Can ̄ well enough: but I will have my tonge pulled out, rather than ̄ tell it, unless he tell it first: do you not perceive sir, what he goes about? I never herd him speak of Spiagia but in deed I have herd him say, his mother's name was Sophronia: but what of y ? a great matter I promise you, it is Like enough that you two have compact together to deceive my master. Master, now you may see the falsehood of these fell lowes, this honest man your host, is of counsel with him, and would face us down that it is Erostrato: beware of these mates. If this gate were your Grandefathers soul, you could not knock more softly, let me come: ho, ho, is there any body within?
