The first part of the contention of the two famous
23771566Cade. I feare neither
sword nor
fire
23781567VVill. He need not feare the
sword, for his coate is of proofe.
23801568Dicke. But mee thinkes he
should feare the
fire, being
so often
23811569burnt in the hand, for
stealing of
sheepe.
23821570Cade. Therefore be braue, for your Captain is braue, and vowes
23831571reformation: you

seuen half-penny loaues for a penny,
23841572and the three hoopt pot,

small beere, and if I be king, as king I will be.
