Is held no great good lover of the archbishop's,[676]
The virtuous Cranmer.
Third Gent. All the land knows that: 105

Cranmer will find a friend will not shrink from him.
Sec. Gent. Who may that be, I pray you?
Third Gent. Thomas Cromwell;[678]

And one, already, of the privy council.[679][681]
Sec. Gent. He will deserve more.[681]
Third Gent. Yes, without all doubt.[681]
Come, gentlemen, ye shall go my way,[682][683]
Which is to the court, and there ye shall be my guests:[682][684] 115
Something I can command. As I walk thither,
I'll tell ye more.
Both. You may command us, sir. [Exeunt.
