Suckling IMmense Doctor Roan you are most happily encountred they have wisht your Company a long time in England the poor Civilians look like spirits now they are deprived of their body Roan Body Sir John what doe you meane Suck Why the Body of the civill Law Corpus Iuris Civilis for so they call you Roan And pardon of your Poetry how fate your hundred Horse i' th North doe they stand to their colours now their Commander is fled I wonder much Sir John that you being a noble Gentleman a Commander and a Volunteere that would leave your poore souldiers without pay and come away without taking leave of your Friends Wind. I heard that Sir John had made a new play and for feare lest it should be hist off the stage betooke himselfe to travell Finch And I have heard that by reason of his absence that play was not worth the studying there was ●n i●●m●at● plot in it that could not well be understood there were two Poets in it that were sound to bee the chiefe Politicians which the State perceiving made diligent pursuit after them the one whereof had the happinesse to escape the other was apprehended and then the Play ended before the Poets execution which was very much disliked Suck How came you to the knowledge of this my good Lord Finch you doe not flye over into England every night and there load your selfe with newes against the morning doe you Wind.

Hold there good Doctor Roane and take me with you you are to be blam'd too for not bidding farewell to Sir Paul ●inder at whose beauteous house you have devoured the carkasse of many 〈◊〉 Capo● before you ●●ed but I wonder more why you came hither so unprovided methinks some English dyet would have bin good for a weake stomack the Church-VVardens of North-hampton-Shire promised to give you a good see if you will goe to 'em and resolve 'em whether they may lawfully take the oath c. or no. Wind. That may very well be for they have given him a great Addition they st●l● him Og the great Commissary they say he was as briske in discharging the new Canons as he that made them but I pray Sir John relate the cause of your comming hither Suc. Then must I addresse my selfe to you my good Lord Finch I have some papers to deliver you from the commons of England who are sorry they are deprived your company and promise if your Lordship will go into England and collect the Ship money they will with all willingnesse pay you Finch VVith a Powder will they not Sir John you have not forgot the ●●irmish i●th North ●ave you you call the poor● Sco●● Pedlars but they were angry and made your fiery horse run ●way with you Wind.

No more I believe would your high and mighty state have secured your neck had you staid there Wind. I am of opinion that my Lord of Canterbury would remit the greatest fine in the high Commission on the condition hee were here but I believe if I had staid all his Tobacco would not have cur'd the stopping in my throat if it secure his owne t is well Suc. For my part I ever held my head to be my self and honour to be but my neighbour and the rules of nature command me to love my selfe better then my neighbour I lov'd honour well but not with such a zeale to venture my life for her when I my selfe could never enjoy her Roan Well said of all sides why should we that are all alike fall out come le ts to dinner you shall fall to your dainty dishes but give me a rib and a leg Roast-beefe and Capon the very meat I eate at the commons and then after dinner wee 'l play a game at Ticktake or Irish for halfe a-pound of reasons Suc. Pox upon reasons I cannot endure your mechanicke games He play at Inne and Inne for a Piece the Caster my old game Wind. No Sir John you may excuse your friends and use the art of slirring a dye to strangers win their money and welcome Finch I Sir John 't is charity to cheat the Monsieurs you use your Quick-silverd dye amongst them as securely as you could in England and when you have got their money wee 'l spend it bravely Suc. Come my brave boyes money wee l never lack But drowne our sorrowes in a cup of Sack FINIS
