Duke
In Bridewell, Candido?

Cand.
Yes, my good Lord.

Duke
What make you here?

Cand.
My Lord, what make you here?

Duke
I'm here to saue right, and to driue wrong hence.

Cand.
And I to beare wrong here with patience.

Duke
You ha bought stolne Goods.

Cand.
So they doe say, my Lord,
Yet bought I them vpon a Gentlemans word,
And Imagine now, as I thought then,

Because I'm with bad people?

Well, stand by,
If you take wrong, wee'll cure the iniurry.
