er wilbe won To undervalue him whose least fam'd service Scornes to be put in ballance with the best Of all your Counsailes; and for his faith, O heaven! It do's as far transcend yours in your praires As light do's darkness. _Leid_. I perceive 'tis true That such as flatter Servants make them prowd. Wee'll use a rougher way, and here commaund you To leave the Towne, and sodainely, if you wish not To be forced hence. 1 _Cap_. Your new raisd Companies Of such as never saw the Enemie Can hardly make that good: we were placed here By the allowaunce of the generall States And of the Prince to keep it to their use. _Leuit_. And we will doe it. 1 _Cap_. And while there is Lead Upon a house, or any Soldier master But of a doyt: when that is gon, expect That we will make you sport, or leave our lives To witness we were faithfull.--Come, Lieutenant, Let us draw up the Companies; and then Charge on us when you please.

Ile to the new raisd Soldiers And make them firme. _Giles_. Ile muster up the Burgers And make them stand upon their guard. _Mod_. For me Ile not be wanting. _Bar_. Ile back to the _Hage_ And something there Ile doe that shall divert The torrent that swells towards us, or sinck in it; And let this Prince of _Orange_ seat him sure, Or he shall fall when he is most secure. [_Exeunt_. SCAENA 2. _Enter Holderus, Dutch-woemen and an English Gentlew_. 1 _D. W_. Here come the Sisters: that's an _English_ Gentlewoman, Let's pray for hir Conversion. 2 _D. W_.
