A pleasant Comedie of the two
 
M. Ba. I do absolue thee, and come hether Phillip,
I haue writ a letter vnto master Goursey,
And I will tell thee the contents thereof,
But tell me first, thinkst thou Franke Goursey loues thee?

Phil. If that a man deuoted to a man,
Loyall, religious, in loues hallowed vowes,
If that a man that is soule laboursome,
To workehis owne thoughts to his friends delight,
May purchase good opinion with his friend,
Then I may say I haue done this so well,
That I may thinke Franke Goursey loues me well.

M. Ba. Tis well, and I am much deceiued in him,
And if he be not sober, wise, and valliant.

Phi. I hope my father takes me for thus wise,
I will not glew my selfe in loue to one,
That hath not some desert of vertue in him,
What ere you thinke of him, beleeue me Father,
He will be answerable to your thoughts,
In any quallity commendable.

M. Bar. Thou chearst my hopes in him, and in good faith,

Phillip I loue him, and I loue him so,
I could affoorde him a good wife I know.

Phi. Father, a wife?

M. Bar. Phillip a wife.

Phil. I lay my life my sister.

M. Bar. I in good faith.

Phi. Then father he shall haue her he shall I sweare.

M. Bar. How canst thou say so knowing not his minde?

Phil. All is one for that, I will goe to him straight,
Father if you would seeke this seauen yeares day,
You could not finde a fitter match for her,
And he shall haue her, I sweare he shall,
He were as good be hang'd as once deny her, I faith Ile to him

M. Bar. Hairebraine, hairebraine, stay,
As yet we do not know his fathers minde,
Why what will master Goursey say my sonne,
If we should motion it without his knowledge?
Go to, hees a wise and discreet Gentleman,
And that respects from me all honest parts,
