To see what shift theile make to scramble home;
Pick out mens eyes, and tell them thats the sport Of hood-man-blinde, without all sportivenesse. If with a grace I can perform such pranckes, My hart will give mine agents many thankes. 2 _Mur_. Then God forbid I should consort my selfe With one so far from grace and pietie, Least being found within thy companie, I should be partner of thy punishment. 1 _Mur_. When wee have done what we have vowed to do, My hart desires to have no fellowship With those that talk of grace or godlinesse. I nam'd not God, unleast twere with an othe, Sence the first hour that I could walk alone; And you that make so much of conscience, By heaven thou art a damned hipocrite, For thou hast vow'd to kill that sleeping boy, And all to gaine two hundreth markes in gold. I know this purenesse comes of pure deceit, To draw me from from the murthering of the child, That you alone might have the benefit. You are too shallow; if you gull me so, Chop of my head to make a Sowsing-tub, And fill it full of tripes and chitterlinges. 2 _Mur_. That thou shalt see my hart is far from fraud, Or vaine illusion in this enterprize, Which doth import the safetie of our soules, |
