angry women of Abington.
You run in debt to my opinion,
Because you pay not such aduised wisedome,
As I thinke due vnto my good conceit.

M. Go. Then still I feare I shall your debter prooue.
Then I arrest you in the name of loue,
Not bale, but present answere to my plea,
And in the Court of reason we will trie,
If that good thoughts should beleeue ielousie,

Phil. Why looke you mother, this is long of you,
For Gods sake father harke, why these effects
Come still from womens malice, part I pray,
Comes, Wil. and Hodge come all and helpe vs part them,
Father, but heare me speake one word no more:

Franke. Father, but heare me speake, then vse your will.

Phil. Crie peace betweene ye for a little while.

Mi. Gou. Good husband heare him speake.

Mis. Bar. Good husband heare him

Coom. Maister heare him speake, hees a good wise young
stripling, for his yeeres I tel ye, & perhaps may speake wiser

Hod. Master heare and make an end, you may kil one another
in iest, and be hanged in earnest.

M. Go. Come let vs heare him, then speake quickly Philip

M. Ba. Thou shouldst haue done ere this, speak Phil. speak

Mis. Bar. O Lord what haste you make to hurt your selues
Good Phillip vse some good perswasions
To make them friends.

Phi. Yes, Ile doe what I can,
Father and Master Goursey both attend,
It is presumption in so young a man,
To teach where he might learne or be derect,
Where he hath had direction but in duety.
He may perswade as long as his perswase,
Is backt with reason and a rightfull sute,
Phisickes first rule is this, as I haue learned,
Kill the effect by cutting of the cause,
The same effects of ruffin outrages,
Comes by the cause of mallice in your wiues,
Had not they two bin foes, you had bin friends,

And
