Bar. You are governd More by your feare then reason.
Mod. May it prove soe: That way I would be guiltie.
Bar. How appeere The new raisd Companies?
Leid. They stand full and faithfull;
And for the Burgers, they are well affected
To our designes. The Arminians play their parts too,
And thunder in their meetings hell and dampnation
To such as hold against us.
Bar. 'Tis well orderd:
But have you tride by any meanes (it skills not
How much you promise) to wyn the old Soldiers
(The English Companies, in chief, I ayme at)
To stand firme for us?
Leid. We have to that purpose
Imploid Rock-Giles, with some choice Burgers els
That are most popular to the Officers
That doe commaund here in the Collonells absence.
We expect them every mynitt. Yf your Lordship
(For 'tis not fitt, I think, you should be seene)
Will please to stand aside (yet you shalbe
Within the hearing of our Conference)
You shall perceive we will imploy all arts
To make them ours.
Mod. They are come.
Bar. Be earnest with them.
Enter Rock-Giles, 2 Burgers, Captaines, Leuitenant.
R: Giles. With much adoe I have brought 'em: the prowde Shellains[154] Are paid too well, and that makes them forget We are their Masters.
