hundred Pieces; let me see you sweet--

_Lov._ Stark mad, by this good Day.

_L. Lam._ Ah, _Gilliflower_! How prettily those Cavalier things charm;
I wonder how the Powers above came to give them all the Wit, Softness,
and Gallantry-- whilst all the great ones of our Age have the most
slovenly, ungrateful, dull Behaviour; no Air, no Wit, no Love, nor any
thing to please a Lady with.

_Gill._ Truly, Madam, there's a great Difference in the Men; yet Heaven
at first did its part, but the Devil has since so over-done his, that
what with the Vizor of Sanctity, which is the gadly Sneer, the drawing
of the Face to a prodigious length, the formal Language, with a certain
Twang through the Nose, and the pious Gogle, they are fitter to scare
Children than beget love in Ladies.

_Lav._ You hit the Character of your new Saint.

_L. Lam._ And then their Dress, _Gilliflower_.

_Gil._ Oh! 'Tis an Abomination to look like a Gentleman; long Hair is
wicked and cavalierish, a Periwig is flat Popery, the Disguise of the
Whore of _Babylon_; handsom Clothes, or lac'd Linen, the very Tempter
himself, that debauches all their Wives and Daughters; therefore the
diminutive Band, with the Hair of the Reformation Cut, beneath which a

_L. Lam._ Have a care what you say, _Gilliflower_.

_Gil._ Why, Madam, we have no Informers here.

Enter _Page_.

_Page._ Madam, here's Old _Noll's_ Wife desires Admittance to your
Hon-- your Highness.

_L. Lam._ Bid the poor Creature wait without, I'll do her what Good I
can for her Husband's sake, who first infus'd Politicks into me, by
which I may boast I have climb'd to Empire.

_Lov._ So, her Madness runs in that Vein I see. [Aside.

_Gil._ Alack, Madam, I think she's coming.

_Crom._ [without] Does she keep State in the Devil's Name, and must I
wait?

_L. Lam._ Heavens! I shall be scandalized by the Godly. Dear
_Gilliflower_, conceal my Cavalier; I would not have a Cavalier seen
with me for all the World-- Step into my Cabinet.
[Ex. _Gil._ and _Lov._

Enter L. _Cromwel_, held back by a Man-- to them _Gilliflower_.

_Crom._ Unhand me, Villain-- 'twas not long since a Rudeness, Sir, like
this had forfeited thy Head.

_L. Lam._ What wou'd the Woman?

_Crom._ The Knave, the perjur'd Villain thy Husband, by th' Throat: thou
proud, imperi
