masters of the East India company preferred him large conditions.

_Isab._ You do bely him basely.

_Har. Jun._ As much as I do you, in saying you are fair; or as I do
myself, when I declare I die for you.

_Isab._ If this be earnest, you have done a most unmanly and
ungrateful part, to court the intended wife of him, to whom you are
most obliged.

_Har. Jun._ Leave me to answer that: Assure yourself I love you
violently, and, if you are wise, you will make some difference betwixt
Towerson and me.

_Isab._ Yes, I shall make a difference, but not to your advantage.

_Har. Jun._ You must, or falsify your knowledge; an Englishman, part
captain, and part merchant; his nation of declining interest here:
Consider this, and weigh against that fellow, not me, but any, the
least and meanest Dutchman in this isle.

_Isab._ I do not weigh by bulk: I know your countrymen have the
advantage there.

_Har. Jun._ Hold back your hand, from firming of your faith; you will
thank me in a little time, for staying you so kindly from embarking in
his ruin.

_Isab._ His fortune is not so contemptible as you would make it seem.
