of turning her out of her own doores she makes the Marques her friend declaring unto him how much she had been abus'd by him and withall that she was willing to pay him his money but not the use of it as he required who thereby thought that he had struck her deep enough for ever obtaining a recovery the Marquess sent for this whoreson and offer'd himself a mediator the man was unwilling to that yet knew not well how to deny him which the Marquess perceiving called him aside and bid him get her to be bound with him in a bond of 500 pound to stand to such an award as he should make between them promising him faithfully that he would award him use upon use O my Lord if you do so I shall be much oblig'd to your honour and will be bound with all my heart and will send you a couple of the bravest colts and of your Lordships own breed as any is in the Country well well said the Marquess let it be so then All was done accordingly and when the business was examined and found to be as was before related the Marquess made this award viz. Sir said he to the man she hath had the use of your money so long and you have had the use of her body so long and there is use upon use so I have allowed you what I promised whereupon the poor man lookt as if he would have sunk down dead in the place which the Marquess perceiving asked why would you have both your principall and your interest And reason good my Lord said the fellow why then you shal have both said the Marquess here take her for if you will not take both in her you shall take neither without her for I award you either to marry her forthwith or else to loose both your principall and interest could you have so little conscience as to take so much consideration for the use of a little pie●e and allow no consideration both for the use and abuse of such a creature as this whose preferment you have marr'd whose credit you have taken away and whose fortunes you thus go about to deprive her and her children of can you think a bond made before a Scrivener and signed by such Witnesses such a strong tie on your part and do you think that such an obligation made to her before such a publick not ary as God Almighty and witnessed by men and Angels should be no tie on her behalf go go take her to you and marry her and let me hear no more of it for if I do you shall soone hear from me The man being by this time school'd into some conformity protested unto the Marquess that if she had prov'd with child he would have married her O said the Marquess if that be all I le run a hazard if she brings you no children you shall pay me my two colts but at the day of the birth of your first child And thereupon he dismiss'd them who were soone after married APOPHTH XXXVI IT was ordinary with the Marquess to entertain discourse with every man according to the condition and profession he was of And most commonly from the beginning of his discourse you should never know what the end would be Taking delight to deceive the expectation of his auditor Upon a time there was presented unto him a Lawyer and he was inform'd before hand how excellent a man he was in his profession The Marquess thought with himself how he might pose him and being brought in with other Gentlemen After they had dined he was presented unto the Marquess Sir said the Marquess I have received a very good Character of you they say you are very learned in the Law I would very fain aske you one question any thing my Lord said the Lawyer that lies within my poor ability I pray said the Marquess who was the first man that ever had a Dedimus potestatem granted unto him The Lawyer was so confounded that he knew not what to say for a long time at last he made a long and learned discourse concerning the originall of that writ And the Marquess gave him the hearing but when he had done He told him that he came far short of the Origin thereof For Adam was the first that ever had plenitudinem potestatis granted unto him viz. when God gave him power to subdue the earth and to have Dominion over every living creature the Lawyer thankt his Lordship and told him that he thought the Law had not been so antient Antient said the Marquess there was the beginning of all your Courts of Justice But I see you are but a common Lawyer that cannot derive your pedegree from thence APOPHTH XXXVII THere was a new married couple presented before the Marquess the Bride a goodly proper woman her face well featur'd an excellent eye she had but was pittifull dis-figured with the small pox the Marquess looking much upon her and saying nothing to her a long while we all know that silence was in labour for some notable production At last he advances toward the young Bride and asked her Gentlewoman do you know why it is said that God Almighty created man and builded woman the Gentlewoman somewhat out of countenance answered no indeed my Lord the Marquess asked her again do you know why you women are called housewives I think my Lord said the Bride because good wives should keep at home and not gad abroad It is a good answer said the Marquess but not the right for women may be bad wives at home as wel as abroad or else they would never scold their husbands out of doores The answer to my first question is woman is not said to be made as Adam was which onely signifies plain work but to be built which signifies curiosity contrivance and therefore as to my second question a woman is called a housewife because she is a house out of which all the Royal Families of Kings and Emperors derive their extract nether are you onely compared unto houses but unto Cities Kingdoms Churches and Common-wealths but do you know what house you are like no indeed my Lord said the Bride why then I le tell you when God builded the first woman he made her his Store-house wherein he had laid up all the race of Mankind wherewith he replenished the whole earth but I must tell you Lady God Almighty did not make you Coaches nor Waggons that you should be alwayes gadding abroad whereat the Bridegroom made answer my Lord I thank you for this I hope my wife will remember it my Lord said the young Bride you will read such a lecture to my husband that he will never let me go abroad O Lady said the Marq. he must not debar you of that liberty provided that you never go abroad but when you go out like the snaile who seldom stirs abroad but whilst that blessing the dew of heaven is upon her earth that she may gather
