_And_. He's put out of Commission with disgrace, and held uncapable of
bearing Office ever hereafter. This is my revenge, and this I'll put in
practice.
_Bri_. Do but hear me.
_And_. To bring me back from my Grammar to my Hornbook, it is
unpardonable.
_Bri_. Do not play the Tyrant; accept of composition.
_Lil_. Hear him, _Andrew_.
_And_. What composition?
_Bri_. I'll confirm thy Farm, and add unto it a hundred Acres more,
adjoyning to it.
_And_. Umb, this mollifies; but y'are so fickle, and will again deny this,
there being no witness by.
_Bri_. Call any witness, I'll presently assure it.
_And_. Say you so? troth there's a friend of mine, Sir, within hearing,
that's familiar with all that's past, his testimony will be authentical.
_Bri_. Will he be secret?
_And_. You may tie his tongue up, as you would do your purse-strings.
_Bri_. _Miramont_!
_Mir_. Ha-ha-ha!
_And_. This is my witness. Lord how you are troubled! sure you have an
Ag[u]e, you shake so with choler: Here's your loving Brother, Sir, and
will tell no body but all he meets, that you have eat a Snake, and are
grown young, gamesome, and rampant.
_Bri_. Caught thus?
_And_. If he were one that would make jests of you, or plague ye, with
making your Religious gravity ridiculous to your Neighbours, then you had
some cause to be perplex'd.
_Bri_. I shall become discourse for Clowns and Tapsters.
