begun�察�About the Lord Cobham at the Sises there�察。�For they had much ado 

the calm the rage���察�And that the valiant Herbert is there slain。 

     SUFFOLK。 A  fire   that   must   be   quenched。         Well�察  �say   no   more�察  �The 

King     anon   goes    to  the  counsel    chamber�察   �There    to  debate    of  matters 

touching France�此�As he doth pass by�察�I'll inform his grace Concerning your 

petition�此   �Master Butler�察�If I forget�察�do you remember me。 

     BUTLER。 I will�察�my Lord。 

     ��Offer him a purse。�А�

     BISHOP。 Not for a recompence�察�But as a token of our love to you�察�By 

me my Lords of the clergy do present This purse�察�and in it full a thousand 

Angels�察�Praying your Lordship to accept their gift。 

     SUFFOLK。 I thank them�察�my Lord Bishop�察�for their love�察�But will not 

take they money�察�if you please To give it to this gentleman�察�you may。 

     BISHOP。 Sir�察�then we crave your furtherance herein。

lend us money toward our wars in France�拭�

     SUFFOLK。 It was�察�my Lord�察�but very wrongfully。 

     KING。 I   know  it   was�察 �for   Huntington here   tells   me�察�They  have   been 

very bountiful of late。 

     SUFFOLK。 And   still   they  vow�察  �my   gracious   Lord�察  �to   be   so�察  �Hoping 

your majesty will think of them As of your loving subjects�察�and suppress 

All   such   malicious   errors   as   begin   To   spot   their   calling�察  �and   disturb   the

upstart new religion still�察�And divers great assemblies by his means And 

private quarrels are commenced abroad�察�As by this letter more at large�察�my 

liege�察�Is made apparent。 

     KING。 We do find it here�此�There was in Wales a certain fray of late�察�

Between      two    noblemen�察    �but   what    of  this�拭 �Follows     it  straight�察 �Lord 

Cobham must be he Did cause the same�拭                �I dare be sworn�察�good knight�察�

which he held�察�my liege。 

     KING。 How if it did�拭�was either he in place�察�To take part with them�察�or 

abet   them   in   it�拭  �If   brabling   fellows�察  �whose   inkindled   blood�察  �Seethes   in

that past Either of you�察�or you�察�amongst their cups�察�Is the fault yours�察�or 

are they guilty of it�拭�

     SUFFOLK。 With pardon of your Highness�察�my dread lord�察�Such little 

sparks�察�neglected�察�may in time Grow to a might flame�此                �but that's not all�察�

He doth�察�beside�察�maintain a strange religion�察�And will not be compelled to 

come to mass。 

     BISHOP。      We    do   beseech    you�察  �therefore�察  �gracious    prince�察  �Without 

offence unto your majesty�察�We may be bold to use authority。 

     KING。 As how�拭�

     BISHOP。 To summon him unto the Arches�察�Where such offences have 

their punishment。 

     KING。 To answer personally�拭�is that your meaning�拭�

     BISHOP。 It is�察�my lord。 

     KING。 How�察�if he appeal�拭�

     BISHOP。 He cannot�察�my Lord�察�in such a case as this。 

     SUFFOLK。 Not where Religion is the plea�察�my lord。 

     KING。 I took it always�察�that our self stood out�察�As a sufficient refuge�察�

unto whom Not any but might lawfully appeal。 But we'll not argue now

upon that point。 For Sir John Old´castle�察�whom you accuse�察�Let me entreat 

you to dispence awhile With your high title of pre´eminence。 

     ��In scorn。�А�

     Report     did  never    yet  condemn      him    so�察 �But   he   hath   always    been 

reputed   loyal�此  �And   in   my   knowledge   I   can   say   thus   much�察  �That   he   is 

virtuous�察�wise�察�and honourable。 If any way his conscience be seduced�察�To 

waver in his faith�察�I'll send for him�察�And school him privately�察�if that serve 

not�察  �Then   afterward   you   may   proceed   against   him。   Butler�察  �be   you   the 

messenger for us�察�And will him presently repair to court。 

     ��Exeunt。�А�

     SIR JOHN。 How now�察�my lord�察�why stand you discontent�拭�In sooth�察�

me thinks the King hath well decreed。 

     BISHOP。 Yea�察�yea�察�sir John�察�if he would keep his word�察�But I perceive 

he favours him so much�察�As this will be to small effect�察�I fear。 

     SIR JOHN。 Why�察�then�察�I'll tell you what y'are bets to do�此�If you suspect 

the King will be but cold In reprehending him�察�send you a process too To 

serve upon him�此       �so you may be sure To make him answer 't�察�howsoe'er it 

fall。 

       BISHOP。 And well remembered�                �I will have it so。 A Sumner shall 

be sent about it straight。 

     ��Exit。�А�

     SIR JOHN。 Yea�察�do so。            In the mean space this remains For kind sir 

John   of   Wrotham�察  �honest   Jack。   Me   thinks   the   purse   of   gold   the   Bishop 

gave   Made   a   good   show�察  �it   had   a   tempting   look。   Beshrew   me�察  �but   my 

fingers' ends to itch To be upon those rudduks。              Well�察�tis thus�此�I am not as 

the world does take me for�察�If ever wolf were clothed in sheep's coat�察�Then 

I am he��old huddle and twang�察�yfaith�察�A priest in show�察�but in plain terms 

a thief。 Yet�察�let me tell you too�察�an honest thief�察�One that will take it where 

it may be spared�察�And spend it freely in good fellowship。 I have as many 

shapes as Proteus had�察�That still�察�when any villainy is done�察�There may be 

none suspect it was sir John。 Besides�察�to comfort me��for what's this life�察�

Except   the   crabbed   bitterness   thereof�察  �Be   sweetened   now   and   then   with 

lechery�拭�I have my Doll�察�my concubine�察�as twere�察�To frolic with�察�a lusty
