l you _Beeches_ shoppe? 2 _Neig_. This is the place; what wold you with the man? _Gen_. Nothing with him; I heare the man is dead, And if he be not, I have lost my paines. _Lo_. Hees dead indeede, but yet we cannot finde What is become of halfe his hopelesse bodie. His head and legges are found, but for the rest, No man can tell what is become of it. _Gen_. Then I doe thinke I can resolve your doubt And bring you certain tydings of the rest, And if you know his doublet and his shirt. As for the bodie it is so abus'd That no man can take notice whoes it was. Set downe this burden of anothers shame. What, do you know the doublet and the shirt? [_Ex. Porter_. _Lo_. This is the doublet, these the seuered limmes, Which late were ioyned to that mangled trunke: Lay them together, see if they can make Among them all a sound and solid man. 3 _neigh_.

I seeing this, did make the ditch be dragd, Where then was found this body as you see, With great amazement to the lookers on. 3. Beholde the mightie miracles of God, That sencelesse things should propagate their sinne That are more bestiall farre then beastlinesse Of any creature most insensible! 2. _Neigh_. Cease we to wonder at Gods wondrous works, And let us labour for to bring to light Those masked fiends that thus dishonor him.
