_Dam_. Can you suffer this? This his affront will scare up the devotion Of all your people. He that persecuted Become a convertite! _Belliz_. 'Tis ioy above my ioy: oh, had you scene What these eyes saw, you would not then Disswade me from it; nor will I leave that power By whom I finde such infinite contentments. _Hen_. _Epidophorus_; your eare:--see't done. _Epi_. It shall, my Lord. [_Exit Epi_. _Hen_. Then by the gods And all the powers the _Vandals_ doe adore, Thou hast not beene more terrible to the world Than to thy selfe I now will make thee. _Belliz_. I dare thy worst; I have a Christian armour to protect me. You cannot act so much as I will suffer. _Hen_. Ile try your patience _Enter Epido, two Christians and officers_. _Epi_. 'Tis done, my Lord, as you directed. _Hen_. They are come: Make signes you'le yet deny your Christianity (_They make signes_.) And kneele with us to sacred _Iupiter_. No? make them then a Sacrifice to _Iupiter_ For all the wrongs by _Bellizarius_ done. Dispatch, I say; to the fire with them. _Belliz_. Alas, good men! tonguelesse? you'le yet be heard; The sighes of your tun'd soules are musicall, And whil'st I breath, as now my tears I shed, My prayers He send up for you; 'twas I that mangl'd you. How soone the bodies Organ leaves the sound! The Life's next too't; a Needles point ends that, A small thing does it. Now you have quiet roomes No wrangling, all husht. Now make me a fellow In this most patient suffering. _Hen_. Beare them unto the fire, and place him neere To fright him. (_Flourish.)_ _Belliz_. On, fellow Souldiers! Your fires will soon be quencht, and for your wrongs You shall, above, all speake with Angels tongues. [_Exeunt_. (SCENE 3.) _Enter Clowne, Constable and three watchmen_. _Clown_. You[146] that are borne Pagans both by father and mother, the true sonnes of Infidelity, sit downe by me your officiall, or to come nearer to the efficacy of the word, your undermost Iaylor or staller; --the word is Lordly and significant. _Omnes_. O brave Master, yfaith. _Clowne_. Therefore sit downe; and as by vertue of our place we have Authority given, so let us as officers doe, knaves of our function as of others; let us, I say, be unbounded in our Authority, having the Lawes, I meane the Keyes, in our owne hands. _Const_. Friend, friend, you are too forward in your Authority; your command is limited where I am in place: for though you are the Lieutenants man know, sir, that I am Master of the worke and Constable Royall under the Kings Maiesty. _Omnes_. Marry is hee.
