Register.
Clerke. VVoman.
VVhat, are those Desks fit now? set forth the Table,
The Carpet and the Chayre: where are the Newes
That were examin'd last? ha' you fil'd them vp?

Cle.
Not yet, I had no time.

Reg.
Are those newes registred,
That Emissary Buz sent in last night?
Of Spinola, and his Egges?

Cle.
Yes Sir, and fil'd.

Reg.
What are you now vpon?

Cle.
That our new Emissary Westminster, gaue vs, of the Golden Heyre.

Reg.
Dispatch, that's newes indeed, and of importance.
What would you haue good woman?

Wo.
I would haue Sir,
A country-woman waites there.
A groatsworth of any Newes, I care not what,
To carry downe this Saturday, to our Vicar.

Reg.
O! You are a Butterwoman, aske Nathaniel
The Clerke, there.

Cle.
Sir, I tell her, she must stay
Till Emissary Exchange, or Pauls send in,
And then I'll fit her.

Reg.
Doe good woman, haue patience,
It is not now, as when the Captaine liu'd.

Cle.
You'll blast the reputation of the office,
Now i'the Bud, if you dispatch these Groats,
So soone: let them attend in name of policie.
