477432Edg. Two houres together.

478433Bast. Parted you in good tearmes? found you no displeasure

479434in him by word or countenance?

480435Edg. None at all.

481436Bast. Bethinke your selfe wherein you may haue offended

482437him, and at my entreaty, forbeare his presence, till some little

483438time hath qualified the heate of his displeasure, which at this

484439instant so rageth in him, that with the mischiefe of your person

485440it would scarse allay.

486441Edg. Some villaine hath done me wrong.

487442Bast. That's my feare brother, I aduise you to the best, goe

493443arm'd, I am no honest man if there be any good meaning to-

494444wards you, I haue told you what I haue seen & heard, but faint-

501450That he suspects none, on whose foolish honesty

502451My practises ride easie, I see the businesse,

503452Let me if not by birth, haue lands by wit,

504453All with me's meete, that I can fashion fit. Exit.

507455Gon. Did my Farher strike my gentleman for chiding of his

508456foole?

509457Gent. Yes Madam.

510458Gon. By day and night he wrongs me,

511459Euery houre he flashes into one grosse crime or other,

512460That sets vs all at ods, Ile not endure it;

513461His knights grow riotous, and himselfe vpbraids vs

514462On euery trifle when he returnes from hunting,

515463I will not speake with him, say I am sicke,

516464If you come slacke of former seruices,

517465You shall do well, the fault of it Ile answer.

518466Gent. Hee's comming Madam, I heare him.

519467Gon. Put on what weary negligence you please, you and your

520468fellow-seruants, Ide haue it come in question, if he dislike it, let
