God help you�察 �poor knaves�察 �ye see the world�察 �yfaith� �Well�察 �you had a
mother�此 �well�察�God be with thee�察�good Lady�察�thy soul's at rest。 She gave
more in shirts and smocks to poor children�察 �than you spend in your
house�察�& yet you live a beggar too。
COBHAM。 Even the worst deed that ere my mother did was in
relieving such a fool as thou。
HARPOOLE。 Yea�察�yea�察�I am a fool still。 With all your wit you will
die a beggar�察�go too。
COBHAM。 Go�察�you old fool�察�give the poor people something。 Go in�察�
poor men�察�into the inner court�察�and take such alms as there is to be had。
SOLDIER。 God bless your honor。
HARPOOLE。 Hang you�察�rogues�察�hang you�察�there's nothing but misery
amongst you�察�you fear no law�察�you。
��Exit。�А�
OLD MAN。 God bless you�察�good master Rafe�察�God save your life�察�you
are good to the poor still。
��Enter the Lord Powis disguised�察�and shroud himself。�А�
COBHAM。 What fellow's yonder comes along the grove�拭 �Few
passengers there be that know this way�此�Me thinks he stops as though he
stayed for me�察�And meant to shroud himself amongst the bushes。 I know
the Clergy hate me to the death�察�And my religion gets me many foes�此�And
this may be some desperate rogue�察�suborned To work me mischief。As it
pleaseth God� �If he come toward me�察�sure I'll stay his coming Be he but
one manwhat so'er he be。
��The Lord Powis comes on。�А�
I have been well acquainted with that face。
POWIS。 Well met�察�my honorable lord and friend。
COBHAM。 You are welcome�察�sir�察�what ere you be�察�But of this sudden�察�
sir�察�I do not know you。
POWIS。 I am one that wisheth well unto your honor�察 �My name is
Powis�察�an old friend of yours。
COBHAM。 My honorable lord�察�and worthy friend�察�What makes your
lordship thus alone in Kent�察�And thus disguised in this strange attire�拭�
POWIS。 My Lord�察�an unexpected accident Hath at this time inforc'd

me to these parts�察�And thus it hapt��Not yet full five days since�察�Now at
the last Assize at Hereford�察�It chanced that the lord Herbert and my self�察�
Mongst other things�察 �discoursing at the table�察 �Did fall in speech about
some certain points Of Wickliffe's doctrine gainst the papacy And the
religion catholique�察 �maintained Through the most part of Europe at this
day。 This wilful teasty lord stuck not to say That Wickliffe was a knave�察�a
schismatic�察 �His doctrine devilish and heretical�察�And what soe'er he was
maintained the same�察�Was traitor both to God and to his country。 Being
moved at his peremptory speech�察 �I told him some maintained those
opinions�察�Men�察�and truer subjects than lord Herbert was�此�And he replying
in comparisons�察�Your name was urged�察�my lord�察�gainst his challenge�察�To be
a perfect favourer of the truth。 And to be short�察 �from words we fell to
blows�察 �Our servants and our tenants taking parts Many on both sides
hurtand for an hour The broil by no means could be pacified�察�Until the
Judges�察�rising from the bench�察�Were in their persons forced to part the fray。
COBHAM。 I hope no man was violently slain。
POWIS。 Faith�察�none�察�I trust�察�but the lord Herbert's self�察�Who is in truth
so dangerously hurt�察�As it is doubted he can hardly scape。
COBHAM。 I am sorry�察�my good lord�察�of these ill news。
POWIS。 This is the cause that drives me into Kent�察�To shroud my self
with you�察�so good a friend�察�Until I hear how things do speed at home。
COBHAM。 Your lordship is most welcome unto Cobham�察 �But I am
very sorry�察�my good lord�察�My name was brought in question in this matter�察�
Considering I have many enemies�察�That threaten malice�察�and do lie in wait
To take advantage of the smallest thing。 But you are welcome�此 �and
repose your lordship�察�And keep your self here secret in my house�察�Until we
hear how the lord Herbert speeds。 Here comes my man。
��Enter Harpoole。�А�
Sirra�察�what news�拭�
HARPOOLE。 Yonder's one master Butler of the privy chamber�察 �is
sent unto you from the King。
POWIS。 I pray God the lord Herbert be not dead�察 �And the King�察�
hearing whither I am gone�察�Hath sent for me。
COBHAM。 Comfort your self my lord�察�I warrant you。

HARPOOLE。 Fellow�察 �what ails thee�拭 �doost thou quake�拭 �dost thou
shake�拭�dost thou tremble�拭�ha�拭�
COBHAM。 Peace�察�you old fool� �Sirra�察�convey this gentleman in the
back way�察�and bring the other into the walk。
HARPOOLE。 Come�察�sir�察�you are welcome�察�if you love my lord。
POWIS。 God have mercy�察�gentle friend。
��Exeunt。�А�
COBHAM。 I thought as much�此 �that it would not be long�察 �Before I
heard of something from the King About this matter。
��Enter Harpoole with Master Butler。�А�
HARPOOLE。 Sir�察�yonder my lord walks�察�you see him�察�I'll have your
men into the Cellar the while。
COBHAM。 Welcome�察�good master Butler。
BUTLER。 Thanks�察 �my good lord�此 �his Majesty doth commend His
love unto your lordship�察�And wills you to repair unto the court。
COBHAM。 God bless his Highness�察�and confound his enemies� �I hope
his Majesty is well。
BUTLER。 In health�察�my lord。
COBHAM。 God long continue it� �Me thinks you look As though you
were not well�此 �what ails you�察�sir�拭�
BUTLER。 Faith�察�I have had a foolish odd mischance�察�That angers me�此�
coming over Shooters hill�察�There came a fellow to me like a Sailor�察�And
asked me money�察�and whilst I stayed my horse To draw my purse�察�he takes
th' advantage of A little bank and leaps behind me�察�whips My purse away�察�
and with a sudden jerk�察�I know not how�察�threw me at least three yards Out
of my saddle。 I never was so robbed In all my life。
COBHAM。 I am very sorry�察 �sir�察�for your mischance。 We will send
our warrant forth�察 �to stay such suspicious persons as shall be found。
Then�察�master Butler�察�we will attend you。
BUTLER。 I humbly thank your lordship�察�I will attend you。

Cobham be a noble man�察 �that dispenses not with law�此 �I dare serve
process were a five noble men。 Though we Sumners make sometimes a
mad slip in a corner with a pretty wench�察�a Sumner must not go always
by seeing�此 �a man may be content to hide his eyes�察�where he may feel his
profit。 Well�察 �this is my Lord Cobham's house if I can devise to speak
with him�察 �if not�察 �I'll clap my citation upon's door�此 �so my lord of
Rochester bid me。 But me thinks here comes one of his men。
��Enter Harpoole。�А�
