“What renders beating out of brains,

And murder, godliness?” “Great gains.”

“What’s tender conscience?” “’Tis a botch

That will not bear the gentlest touch;

But, breaking out, despatches more

Than th’ epidemical’st plague-sore.”

“What makes y’ encroach upon our trade,

And damn all others?” “To be paid.”

“What’s orthodox and true believing,

Against a conscience?” “A good living.”
