of a Sword. Enter _Dunce_. _Dun._ The Council, Sir, wishes you Health and Happiness, and sends you these sign'd by their Hands-- [Gives Papers. _Dar._ reads. That you shall have a general Pardon for your self and Friends; that you shall have all new Commissions, and _Daring_ to command as General; that you shall have free leave to inter your dead General in _James_ Town. And to ratify this, we will meet you at Madam _Surelove's_ House, which stands between the Armies, attended only by our Officers. The Council's noble, and I'll wait upon them. [Exeunt. SCENE V.
