    KING。 If you deny it�察�here is evidence。 See you these men�拭�you never 

counseled�察�Nor offered them assistance in their wars�拭�

     COBHAM。 Speak�察�sirs。          Not one but all�察�I crave no favour。 Have ever 

I   been   conversant    with   you�察 �Or   written   letters  to  encourage    you�察  �Or 

kindled but the least or smallest part Of this your late unnatural rebellion�拭�

Speak�察�for I dare the uttermost you can。 

    MURLEY。 In and out upon occasion�察�I know you not。 

    KING。 No�拭�didst not say that sir John Old´castle Was one with whom 

you purposed to have met�拭�

    MURLEY。 True�察�I did say so�察�but in what respect�拭�Because I heard it 

was reported so。 

    KING。 Was there no other argument but that�拭�

    ACTON。 To clear my conscience ere I die�察�my lord�察�I must confess�察�we 

have no other ground But only Rumor�察�to accuse this lord�察�Which now I 

see was merely fabulous。 

    KING。 The more pernitious you to taint him then�察�Whom you knew not 

was faulty�察�yea or no。 

     COBHAM。 Let this�察�my Lord�察�which I present your grace�察�Speak for 

my   loyalty�此   �read   these   articles�察  �And   then   give   sentence   of   my   life   or 

death。 

    KING。 Earl Cambridge�察�Scroop�察�and Gray corrupted With bribes from 

Charles of France�察�either to win My Crown from me�察�or secretly contrive 

My death by treason�拭       �Is this possible�拭�

     COBHAM。   There   is   the   platform�察  �and   their   hands�察  �my   lord�察  �Each 

severally subscribed to the same。 

     KING。 Oh never heard  of�察�base ingratitude� �Even those I hug   within 

my   bosom   most   Are   readiest   evermore   to   sting   my   heart。   Pardon   me�察�

Cobham�察�I have done thee wrong�察�Hereafter I will live to make amends。 Is�察�

then�察�their time of meeting no near hand�拭�We'll meet with them�察�but little 

for their ease�察�If God permit。         Go�察�take these rebels hence�察�Let them have 

martial law�此     �but as for thee�察�Friend to thy king and country�察�still be free。 

     ��Exeunt。�А�

     MURLEY。   Be   it   more   or   less�察  �what   a   world   is   this�拭  �Would   I   had 

continued still of the order of knaves�察�And never sought knighthood�察�since 

it costs so dear。 Sir Roger�察�I may thank you for all。 

     ACTON。 Now  tis   too late   to   have it   remedied�察 �I prithee�察 �Murley�察 �do 

not urge me with it。 

     HUNTINGTON。 Will you away�察�and make no more to do�拭�

     MURLEY。 Fie�察�paltry�察�paltry� �to and fro�察�as occasion serves�察�If you be 

so hasty�察�take my place。 

     HUNTINGTON。 No�察�good sir knight�察�you shall begin in your hand。 

     MURLEY。 I could be glad to give my betters place。 

       ��Exeunt。�А�

       SCENE III。 Kent。 Court before lord                            Cobham's 



                                       house。 



     ��Enter    Bishop�察  �lord   Warden�察   �Cromer    the   Shrieve�察  �Lady    Cob�察  �and 

attendants。�А�

    BISHOP。 I tell ye�察�Lady�察�it's not possible But you should know where 

he conveys himself�察�And you have hid him in some secret place。 

    LADY COBHAM。 My Lord�察�believe me�察�as I have a soul�察�I know not 

where my lord my husband is。 

    BISHOP。 Go to�察�go to�察�ye are an heretic�察�And will be forced by torture 

to confess�察�If fair means will not serve to make ye tell。 

    LADY  COBHAM。  My  husband   is   a   noble   gentleman�察�And need   not 

hide himself for any fact That ere I heard of�察�therefore wrong him not。 

    BISHOP。 Your husband is a dangerous schismatic�察�Traitor to God�察�the 

King�察  �and   common   wealth�此  �And   therefore�察  �master   Croamer�察  �shrieve   of 

Kent�察�I charge you take her to your custody�察�And seize the goods of   Sir 

John   Old´castle To the   King's   use。     Let   her   go   in   no   more�察�To   fetch   so 

much as her apparel out。 There is your warrant from his majesty。 

    LORD WARDEN。 Good my Lord Bishop�察�pacify your wrath Against 

the Lady。 

    BISHOP。       Then    let  her  confess    Where    Old´castle    her  husband     is 

concealed。 

       LORD     WARDEN。        I  dare  engage    mine    honor   and   my   life�察 �Poor 

gentlewoman�察�she is ignorant And innocent of all his practises�察�If any evil 

by him be practised。 

    BISHOP。   If�察  �my   Lord   Warden�拭  �nay�察  �then   I   charge   you�察  �That   all   the 

cinque Ports�察�whereof you are chief�察�Be laid forthwith�察�that he escape us 

not。 Shew him his highness' warrant�察�Master Shrieve。 

    LORD WARDEN。 I am sorry for the noble gentleman 

     ��Enter Old´castle and Harpoole。�А�

    BISHOP。 Peace�察�he comes here�察�now do your office。 

     COBHAM。   Harpoole�察  �what   business   have   we   here   in   hand�拭  �What 

makes     the  Bishop    and   the  Sheriff   here�拭  �I  fear  my   coming     home    is

dangerous�察�I would I had not made such haste to Cobham。 

     HARPOOLE。   Be   of   good   cheer�察  �my   Lord�此         �if   they   be   foes�察  �we'll 

scramble   shrewdly   with       them�此   �if  they   be   friends�察 �they   are  welcome。 

One   of   them   ��my   Lord   Warden��   is   your   friend�察  �but   me   thinks   my   lady 

weeps�察�I like not that。 

     CROAMER。           Sir  John    Old´castle�察    �Lord    Cobham�察     �in  the   King's 

majesty's name�察�I arrest ye of high treason。 

     COBHAM。 Treason�察�Master Croamer�拭�

     HARPOOLE。 Treason�察�Master Shrieve�拭�sblood�察�what treason�拭�

     COBHAM。 Harpoole�察�I charge thee�察�stir not�察�but be quiet still。 Do ye 

arrest me�察�Master Shrieve�察�for treason�拭�

     BISHOP。 Yea�察�of high treason�察�traitor�察�heretic。 

     COBHAM。 Defiance in his face that calls me so。 I am as true a loyal 

gentleman      Unto    his  highness    as  my    proudest    enemy。    The   King    shall 

witness my late faithful service�察�For safety of his sacred majesty。 

     BISHOP。 What thou art the king's hand shall testify�此�Shewt him�察�Lord 

Warden。 

     COBHAM。         Jesu   defend    me�    �Is't  possible   your   cunning     could   so 

temper The princely disposition of his mind�察�To sign the damage of a loyal 

subject�拭�Well�察�the best is�察�it bears an antedate�察�Procured by my absence�察�

and   your   malice�察  �But   I�察  �since   that�察  �have   shewd   my   self   as   true As   any 

churchman that dare challenge me。 Let me be brought before his majesty�察�

If he acquit me not�察�then do your worst。 

     BISHOP。       We   are   not   bound    to  do   king   offices    For   any   traitor�察�

schismatic�察�nor heretic。 The king's hand is our warrant for our work�察�Who 

is departed on his way for France�察�And at Southhampton doth repose this 

night。 

     HARPOOLE。 O that it were the blessed will of God�察�that thou and I 

were within twenty mile of it�察�on Salisbury plan�             �I would lose my head if 

ever thou broughtst thy head hither again。 

     ��Aside。�А�

     COBHAM。         My    Lord    Warden    o'  the  cinque    Ports�察  �&   my   Lord   of 

Rochester�察    �ye   are  joint   Commissioners�此       �favor    me   so  much�察    �On   my 

expence to bring me to the king。

guilt�察�And   all   suspicion   of   conspiracy�察  �Pawning   his   princely   warrant   for
