    Exit Moore, Browne, Towerson, Strangers, & Marchant.

    Heigh. And if you be so hot vpon your dinner,

    And afterward forgat, that he had bade vs.

    But harke you, lets not goe to vexe the man;
    Prethee sweet Ned lets tarry, doe not goe.
    Walg. Not goe? indeed you may doe what you please;
    730Ile goe, that's flat: nay, I am gon alreadie,
