What's he a King?
Let.
No tis the City Governor,
And the chiefe Judge within their Corporation.

Enter Peregiue and Doctor.
Like to be well govern'd then.—
Let.
Yonder's a king, doe you know him?
Dia.
Tis your sonne,
My Ioylesse, now y'are pleas'd.
Ioy.
Would you were pleas'd,
To cease your huswifry in spinning out
The Play at length thus.
Doct.
Heere sir, you shall see
A poynt of Justice handled.
Byp.
Officer.
Off.
My Lord.
Byp,
Call the defendant, and the Plaintiffe in.
Sword.
Their counsell and their witnesses.
Byp:
How now!
How long ha you beene free oth Poyntmakers,
Good master hilt and scaberd carrier;
(Which is in my hands now) do you give order
For counsell and for witnesses in a cause
Fit for my hearing, or for me to judge, haw?
I must be rul'd and circumscrib'd by Lawyers must I,
And witnesses haw? no you shall know
I can give judgement, be it right or wrong,
Without their needlesse proving and defending:
So bid the Lawyers goe and shake their cares,
If they have any, and the witnesses,
Preserve their breath to prophesie of dry summers.
Bring me the plaintiffe, and defendant only:
But the defendant first, I will not heare
Any complaint before I understand
What the defendant can say for himselfe.
I have not known such down right equity,
If he proceeds as he begins, ile grace him.—
