Brai. I warrant you he will go with you of himself, sir.
Dow. Yet more ado?
Brai. I have made a fair mash on't;
Aside.
Step. Must I go?
Brai. I know no remedy, master Stephen.
Dow. Come along afore me here; I do not love your hanging look
behind.
Step. Why, sir, I hope you cannot hang me for it: can he, fellow?
Brai. I think not, sir; it is but a whipping matter, sure.

ACT V
SCENE I.-Coleman Street.
A Hall in Justice CLEMENT'S House.
Enter CLEMENT, KNOWELL, KITELY, Dame K., TIB., CASH,
COB, and Servants.
Step. Why then let him do his worst, I am resolute.
Clem. Nay, but stay, stay, give me leave: my chair, sirrah. You,
master Knowell, say you went thither to meet your son?
Know. Ay, sir.
Clem. But who directed you thither? Know. That did mine own man,
sir.
Clem. Where is he?
Know. Nay, I know not now; I left him with your clerk, and
appointed him to stay here for me.
Clem. My clerk! about what time was this?
Know. Marry, between one and two, as I take it.
Clem. And what time came my man with the false message to you,
master Kitely?
Kit. After two, sir.
Clem. Very good: but, mistress Kitely, how chance that you were at
Cob's, ha?
Dame K. An't please you, sir, I'll tell you: my brother Wellbred
told me, that Cob's house was a suspected place--
Clem. So it appears, methinks: but on.
Dame K. And that my husband used thither daily.
Clem. No matter, so he used himself well, mistress.
Dame K. True, sir: but you know what grows by such haunts
oftentimes.
Clem. I see rank fruits of a jealous brain, mistress Kitely: but
did you find your husband there, in that case as you suspected?
Kit. I found her there, sir.
Clem. Did you, so! that alters the case. Who gave you knowledge of
your wife's being there?
Kit. Marry, that did my brother Wellbred.
Clem. How, Wellbred first tell her; then tell you after! Where is
Wellbred?
Kit. Gone with my sister, sir, I know not whither.
Clem. Why this is a mere trick, a device; you are gull'd in this
most grossly all. Alas, poor wench! wert thou beaten for this?
Tib. Yell, most pitifully, an't please you.
Cob. And worthily, I hope, if it shall prove so
