953Duke. Haile to you, Prouost, so I thinke you are.

954Pro. I am the Prouost: whats your will, good Frier?

955Duke. Bound by my charity, and my blest order,

956I come to visite the afflicted spirits

957Here in the prison: doe me the common right

958To let me see them: and to make me know

959The nature of their crimes, that I may minister

960To them accordingly.

961Pro. I would do more then that, if more were needfull

963Looke here comes one: a Gentlewoman of mine,

964Who falling in the flawes of her owne youth,

965Hath blisterd her report: She is with childe,

966And he that got it, sentenc'd: a yong man,

967More fit to doe another such offence,

968Then dye for this.

969Duk. When must he dye?

970Pro. As I do thinke to morrow.

971I haue prouided for you, stay a while

972And you shall be conducted.

973Duk. Repent you (faire one) of the sin you carry?

974Iul. I doe; and beare the shame most patiently.

975Du. Ile teach you how you shal araign your conscieñce

976And try your penitence, if it be sound,

977Or hollowly put on.

978Iul. Ile gladly learne.

979Duk. Loue you the man that wrong'd you?

980Iul. Yes, as I loue the woman that wrong'd him.

981Duk. So then it seemes your most offence full act

982Was mutually committed.

983Iul. Mutually.

984Duk. Then was your sin of heauier kinde then his.

985Iul. I doe confesse it, and repent it (Father.)

986Duk. 'Tis meet so (daughter) but least you do repent

987As that the sin hath brought you to this shame,

988Which sorrow is alwaies toward our selues, not heauen,

989Showing we would not spare heauen, as we loue it,

990But as we stand in feare.

991Iul. I doe repent me, as it is an euill,

992And take the shame with ioy.

993Duke. There rest:

994Your partner (as I heare) must die to morrow,

995And I am going with instruction to him:

996Grace goe with you, Benedicite. Exit.

997Iul. Must die to morrow? oh iniurious Loue

998That respits me a life, whose very comfort

999Is still a dying horror.

1000Pro. 'Tis pitty of him. Exeunt.
