Perv. Doc. I speak to thee, knave; thou art mad, I trow.

What meanest thou to rail right now so contemptuously

At the chiefest secrets of all divinity?

New Cus. Verily I railed not, so far as I can tell,

I spake but advisedly, I know very well;

For I will stand to it, whatsoever I said.

Perv. Doc. Wilt thou so? but I will make thee well apaid,[11]

To recant thy words, I hold thee a pound,

Before thou depart hence out of this ground.

New Cus. No, that shall you not do, if I die therefore.
