assage. _Or_. 'Twas frendly don and like my noble masters. _Will_. Deny you place? make good the dore against ye? This is unsufferable, most unsufferable. _Or_. Now I begin to feele those doubts; I feare still-- _Col_. So far to dare provoke ye! 'tis too monstrous; And you forget your self, your birth, your honour, The name of Soldier if you suffer this, Suffer from these, these things, these--pox upon't!-- These molds of men made noble by your services, Your daylie sweatts. 1 _Cap_. It must not be endured thus, The wrong extends to us, we feele it severally. 2 _Cap_. Your sweet humillitie has made 'em scorne ye And us, and all the world that serve their uses; And stick themselves up teachers, masters, princes, Allmost new gods too, founders of new faithes. --Weell force your way. _Col_. Let's see then who dare stop ye. _Gu_. Not we, I am sure. _Col_. Let's see who dare denie ye Your place and right of councell. _Or_. Stay, I commaund ye; He that puts forward first to this wild action Has lost my love and is becom mine Enemy, My mortall enemie.

I and all Soldiers els that strike with their armes, And draw from them the meanes of life and honour, Are doble tyde in faith to observe their pleasures. _Col_. A Prince of rare humanitie and temper. Sir, as you teach us armes, you man our minds, too, With civill precepts, making us true Soldiers, Then worthie to receive a trust from others When we stand masters of our owne discretions. _Enter Barnavelt, Modesbargen, Leidenberch, Grotius Bredero, Vandort & Hogerbeets_. _Will_. Your good and great example tyes us all, Sir. _Cap_. The Councell's broken up. _Or_. My noble Lords, Let it not seeme displeasing to your wis
