Plot summary
Plot — The Three Ladies of London
Lady Love and Lady Conscience are concerned that Lady Lucre now rules in London, but Fame assures them that she and her adherents will meet their due punishment in the end. Four knaves and Simplicity, a penurious miller, go to London in the hope of employment by one of the ladies. Conscience rejects their applications, but Love agrees to take on Simplicity; the knaves find positions in Lucre’s household. Out of work because foreigners have taken all the jobs, Artifex also seeks a place with Lucre. Simplicity procures a testimonial from Conscience for his cousin Sincerity, who seeks a benefice; but he is unable to get anything from Simony because he has no bribe to offer. Dissimulation fobs him off with the parsonage of St Nihil — nothing - and an invitation to dine with Nemo — nobody — is likewise worthless (though Simplicity has _ difficulty understanding this).

He intended it to be Love’s, since he cares nothing for Conscience, but Simplicity returns Conscience’s clothes and delivers Love’s to Usury.

Mercadore goes to Turkey to procure knick-knacks, and encounters the Jew Gerontus. Two years ago, he borrowed a lot of money from Gerontus and avoided paying it back by skipping the country. Gerontus is happy to help in the supply of 1581 worthless tat to England, but eventually loses patience with Mercadore’s promises to pay his debt, and has him arrested. Mercadore proposes converting to Islam, which will legally void all his past obligations. Fearing that he might be blamed for a Christian’s apostasy, Gerontus cancels the debt, whereupon Mercadore’s Muslim convictions evaporate. Usury murders Hospitality and goes into hiding with a rich man, who protects him; his pardon is eventually procured by a courtier. Conscience and…
