     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。

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

expence to bring me to the king。

     BISHOP。 What�察�to Southhampton�拭�

     COBHAM。 Thither�察�my good Lord�察�And if he do not clear me of all 

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

my truth�此�I ask no favour�察�but extremest torture。 Bring me�察�or send me to 

him�察�good my Lord�此�Good my Lord Warden�察�Master Shrieve�察�entreat。

whispers with him。�А�

     Come   hither�察  �ladynay�察  �sweet   wife�察  �forbear   To   heap   one   sorrow   on 

another's neck�此�Tis grief enough falsely to be accused�察�And not permitted 

to acquit my self�察�Do not thou with thy kind respective tears�察�Torment thy 

husband's heart that bleeds for thee�察�But be of comfort。              God hath help in 

store For those that put assured trust in him。 Dear wife�察�if they commit me 

to the Tower�察�Come up to London to your sister's house�此�That being near 

me�察�you may comfort me。 One solace find I settled in my soul�察�That I am 

free   from   treason's   very   thought�此  �Only   my   conscience   for   the   Gospel's 

sake Is cause of all the troubles I sustain。 

     LADY COBHAM。 O  my dear Lord�察�what shall betide of us�拭�You to 

the   Tower�察   �and   I  turned   out  of  doors�察   �Our   substance    seized   unto   his 

highness' use�察�Even to the garments longing to our backs。 

     HARPOOLE。 Patience�察�good madame�察�things at worst will mend�察�And 

if they do not�察�yet our lives may end。 

     BISHOP。   Urge   it   no   more�察  �for   if   an Angel   spake�察  �I   swear   by   sweet 

saint Peter's blessed keys�察�First goes he to the Tower�察�then to the stake。 

     CROAMER。          But   by   your   leave�察  �this  warrant   doth   not   stretch   To 

imprison her。      BISHOP。 No�察�turn her out of doors�察�

     ��Lord Warden and Old´castle whisper。�А�

     Even as she is�察�and lead him to the Tower�察�With guard enough for fear 

of rescuing。 

     LADY COBHAM。 O�察�God requite thee�察�thou blood´thirsty man。 

     COBHAM。   May   it   not   be�察  �my   Lord   of   Rochester�拭  �Wherein   have   I 

incurred your hate so far�察�That my appeal unto the King's denied�拭�

     BISHOP。 No hate of mine�察�but power of holy church�察�Forbids all favor 

to false heretics。 

     COBHAM。 Your private malice�察�more than public power�察�Strikes most

     That once I had his Sumner by our selves� �

     CROAMER。 My Lord�察�yet grant one suit unto us all�察�That this same 

ancient serving man may wait Upon my lord his master in the Tower。 

     BISHOP。   This      old  iniquity�察  �this  heretic�拭 �That�察  �in  contempt    of  our 

church     discipline�察  �Compelled     my    Sumner    to  devour    his  process�    �Old 

Ruffian   past´grace�察  �upstart   schismatic�察  �Had   not   the   King   prayed   us   to

heretic nor puritan�察�but of the old church�此�I'll swear�察�drink ale�察�kiss a wench�察�

and spicery�察�shrive me of my old sins afore Easter�察�and begin new afore 

whitsontide。 

     CROAMER。 A merry�察�mad�察�conceited knave�察�my lord。 

     HARPOOLE。 That knave was simply put upon the Bishop。 

     BISHOP。 Well�察�God forgive him and I pardon him。 Let him attend his 

master in the Tower�察�For I in charity wish his soul no hurt。 

     COBHAM。 God bless my soul from such cold charity� �

     BISHOP。 Too th' Tower with him�察�and when my leisure serves�察�I will 

examine him of Articles。 Look�察�my lord Warden�察�as you have in charge�察�
