scover whose Guilt it is: Go get in there, I'll move you from this side of the House (_Pushes _Isabinda_ in at the other Door, and locks it; puts the Key in his Pocket._) I'll keep the Key my self: I'll try what Ghost will get into that Room. And now forsooth I'll wait on you down Stairs. _Patch._ Ah, my poor Lady--Down Stairs, Sir, but I won't go out, Sir, till I have look'd up my Cloaths. Sir _Jeal._ If thou wer't as naked as thou wer't born, thou should'st not stay to put on a Smock. Come along, I say, when your Mistress is marry'd you shall have your Rags, and every thing that belongs to you; but till then-- (_Exit, pulling her out._ _Patch._ Oh! barbarous Usage for nothing. _Re-enter at the lower Door._ Sir _Jeal._ There, go, and, come no more within sight of my Habitation, these three Days, I charge you.
