THE PROLOGUE。
The doubtful Title ��Gentlemen�� prefixt Upon the Argument we have in
hand�察�May breed suspence�察�and wrongfully disturb The peaceful quiet of
your settled thoughts。 To stop which scruple�察�let this brief suffice�此�It is no
pampered glutton we present�察 �Nor aged Counsellor to youthful sin�察 �But
one�察�whose virtue shone above the rest�察�A valiant Martyr and a virtuous
peer�察�In whose true faith and loyalty expressed Unto his sovereign�察�and his
country's weal�察 �We strive to pay that tribute of our Love�察 �Your favours
merit。 Let fair Truth be graced�察 �Since forged invention former time
defaced。

Riotous�察�audacious�察�and unruly Grooms�察�Must we be forced to come

SECOND JUDGE。 What was the quarrel that caused all this stir�拭�

were as true�察�as noble�察�and as wise As he�察�that would defend it with their
lives�察 �He named for instance sir John Old´castle The Lord Cobham�此�
Herbert replied again�察 �He�察�thou�察�and all are traitors that so hold。; The lie
was given�察�the several factions drawn�察�And so enraged�察�that we could not
appease it。
FIRST JUDGE。 This case concerns the King's prerogative�察 �And's
dangerous to the State and common wealth。 Gentlemen�察 �Justices�察 �master
Mayor�察 �and master Shrieve�察 �It doth behoove us all�察 �and each of us In
general and particular�察�to have care For suppressing of all mutinies�察�And
all assemblies�察 �except soldiers' musters For the King's preparation into
France。 We hear of secret conventicles made�察�And there is doubt of some
conspiracies�察�Which may break out into rebellious arms When the King's
gone�察�perchance before he go�此�Note as an instance�察�this one perilous fray�察�
What factions might have grown on either part�察�To the destruction of the
King and Realm。 Yet�察�in my conscience�察�sir John Old´castle�察�Innocent of it�察�
only his name was used。 We�察�therefore�察�from his Highness give this charge�此�
You�察�master Mayor�察�look to your citizens�察�You�察�master Sheriff�察�unto your
shire�察�and you As Justices�察�in every one's precinct�察�There be no meetings。
When the vulgar sort Sit on their Ale´bench�察 �with their cups and cans�察�
Matters of state be not their common talk�察�Nor pure religion by their lips
profaned。 Let us return unto the Bench again�察�And there examine further of
this fray。
��Enter a Bailiff and a Servant。�А�
SHERIFF。 Sirs�察�have ye taken the lord Powesse yet�拭�
BAILIFF。 No�察�nor heard of him。
SERVANT。 No�察�he's gone far enough。
SECOND JUDGE。 They that are left behind shall answer all。
��Exeunt。�А�
