Sir Gef. Peace, Nephew, peace, give Justice leave to speake.—As I related, the reason I related, Sir, was as I told you.
Sir Hu. You told me nothing yet, Sir Geffery.
Sir Gef. Noe? did I not say he should have had her daughter?
Sir Hu. You did; but what does that conduce to their dissention?
Sir Gef. Oh sir, the originall efficient cause,—you understand me? for suspition whispers he had given her a foule blow and would have left her.
Crac. Nay, by my birthright, uncle, the child was not his alone, for I dare sweare I had a hand at least in it. I did endevor fort, did I not, Captaine?
Suc. Yes, there are others to as well as you; yes, she has struck her top sayle to a man of warr; she has bin boarded, sir, I can assure you.
Sir Hu. What impudent slaves are these!—But are you sure the gentlewoman is with child?
Sir Gef. Sure? doe you question it, Sir? Bunch, be ready, Bunch, to write their confessions quickly.
Bunch. They are not come yet to confession, sir.
