MINISTER DODGE I know her den—the blacksmith shop.

SIR CHARLES [Starting.] Which way?

MINISTER DODGE To the left.

SIR CHARLES Go on, there.

MINISTER DODGE My honoured friend, we shall return and officially destroy this fatal glass. But first, we must secure the witch. Heaven shield, with her guilt, the innocent!

THE MEN [As they hurry out.] Amen.

SIR CHARLES [Outside.] Go on!

[Exeunt all but Richard, Rachel, Justice Merton, Mistress Merton, Dickon, and Ravensbane.]

DICKON [To Justice Merton, who has importuned him, aside.] And reveal thy youthful escapades to Rachel?

JUSTICE MERTON God help me! no.
