ine,-- Yet stay.--_Maudlin_, avoid the Roome, and if you see Mr. _Thurston_, entreat him hither. _Timothy_, Find out my son and charge him to delay The execution of my late comaund Till I next speake with him. [_Exeunt Mag. and Tim_. _Clariana_, you did what I comanded? _Cla_. Yes, on my Soule. _Lady_. But thou art ignorant Why with such violence I inioyn[e]d thee To leave thy _Thurstons_ love? _Cla_. Were I not sure Theres nought in him that can be titled ill, I should have thought your circumspective Judgment Had spide some error in him, and in care Of me your child forbidden me his love.
