The fifth Scene.

To them Raven.
Hor.

He is here sir.

Rav.

The Brides Father and a surgeon! what new devise is
towards?

Fat. and Serv. whisper.
Hor.

I'le apply but one Emplastrum consolidans more: I
think that's a terme of art.

Exit. ser.
Plas.

I come not to be jeer'd.

Good.

To be rewarded; accept of this sir.

gives him mony.
Plas.

My thankfullnesse. This is more then my practice would
have deserv'd; for to say truth though I can out face it with talking,
though I am neither parson nor vicar yet my cures serve to
mayntaine sextons.

I take my leave sir.

Exit.
Hor.
The wound was very slight sir.

M. Fe.

Indeed Mr. Raven you escapt a scouring in your belly:
if you had miscarried, the Monsieur for all the seperation betwixt
his doublet and breeches should have trust for't, but that
he is run away.

Rav.
Escap't I'm glad of that: it shall be usefull.

Good.
Being past danger cosin, we would gladly
Be satisfied who 'twas that did attempt
This mischiefe on you: you have hitherto
Seem'd as unwilling he should be discover'd.
If 'twere Theophilus, all diligence
Shall be employ'd to find him, that he may
Pay law her due: his flight makes it suspitious.

Rav.
Good sir forbeare that trouble.
If he be fled with his faire Mistresse, 'tis
A discreet policy to shun the danger,
Her parents anger might bring on him. 'Twas
The French man wounded me.

Good.
On what occasion?

Rav.
None sir that I know: I provok't him not;
Unlesse he meant to rob me.

Fat.
Will you sir
Justifie this on oath?

Fathers Servant returnes.
Rav.
Were there necessity:
'Tis otherwise sufficient I have said it.

Fat.
Bring in the Monsieur.

Hor.
How sir! is he taken!

Fat.
Yes sir; with many trinckets that were yours.

Hor.
I am restor'd to my first state.

Fat.
We met him:
Aud for some reason you shall know anon
Brought him back with us.

Rav.
I am still discover'd.
