ou? _King_. Yes; see else, _Damianus, Antony, Cosmo_; I am well. _Omnes_. He does it by inchantment. 1 _Phys_. By meere Witch-Craft. _Eugen_. Thy payment for my cure. _King_. What? _Eugen_. To turne Christian, And set all Christian slaves at liberty. _King_. Ile hang and torture all-- Call backe the Messenger sent with our signet. For thy selfe, thou foole, should I allow Thee life thou wouldst be poyson'd by our Colledge of Physitians.
