12121114Iag. Will you hear't agen?

12131115Cas. No, for I hold him vnworthy of his place, that does those

12141116things: well, God's aboue all, and there bee soules that must bee

12161117saued.

12171118Iag. It is true good Leiutenant.

12181119Cas. For mine own part, no offence to the Generall, nor any man

12191120of quality, I hope to be saued.

12201121Iag. And so doe I Leiutenant.

12221123saued before the Ancient. Let's ha no more of this, let's to our af-

12231124faires: God forgiue vs our sins: Gentlemen, let's looke to our busi-
