Enter Parson, Diana, and Pert drest in Diana’s Clothes.
Dia. I’ll swear, Mrs. Pert, you look very prettily in my Clothes; and since you, Sir, have convinc’d me that this innocent Deceit is not unlawful, I am glad to be the Instrument of advancing Mrs. Pert to a Husband, she already has so just a Claim to.
Par. Since she has so firm a Contract, I pronounce it a lawful Marriage—but hark, they are coming sure—
Dia. Pull your Hoods down, and keep your Face from the Light. [Diana runs out.
Enter Bearjest and Noisey disordered.
Bea. Madam, I beg your Pardon—I met with a most devilish Adventure; —your Pardon too, Mr. Doctor, for making you wait.—But the business is this, Sir—I have a great mind to lie with this young Gentlewoman to Night, but she swears if I do, the Parson of the Parish shall know it.
Par. If I do, Sir, I shall keep Counsel.
Bea. And that’s civil, Sir—Come, lead the way, With such a Guide, the Devil’s in’t if we can go astray.
[Exeunt.
