There is another: a new cause rising from the time and distance, in which I will deliver my opinion: he may strike, beat, or cause to be beaten: for these are natural to man: your Prince, I say, may beat you, so far forth as his dominion reacheth, that's for the distance; the time, ten miles a day, I take it. _2_. Brother, you err, 'tis fifteen miles a day, His stage is ten, his beatings are fifteen. _Bes_. 'Tis the longest, but we subjects must-- _1_. Be subject to it; you are wise and vertuous. _Bes_. Obedience ever makes that noble use on't, To which I dedicate my beaten body; I must trouble you a little further, Gentlemen o'th' Sword. _2_. No trouble at all to us Sir, if we may Profit your understanding, we are bound By vertue of our calling to utter our opinions, Shortly, and discreetly. _Bes_. My sorest business is, I have been kick'd. _2_. How far Sir? _Bes_. Not to flatter my self in it, all over, my sword forc'd but not lost; for discreetly I rendred it to save that imputation. _1_. It shew'd discretion, the best part of valour. _2_. Brother, this is a pretty cause, pray ponder on't; Our friend here has been kick'd. _1_. He has so, brother. _2_. Sorely he saies: Now, had he set down here Upon the meer kick, 't had been Cowardly. _1_. I think it had been Cowardly indeed. _2_. But our friend has redeem'd it in delivering His sword without compulsion; and that man That took it of him, I pronounce a weak one, And his kicks nullities. He should have kick'd him after the delivering Which is the confirmation of a Coward. _1_. Brother, I take it, you mistake the question; For, say that I were kick'd. _2_. I must not say so; Nor I must not hear it spoke by the tongue of man. You kick'd, dear brother! you're merry. _1_. But put the case I were kick'd? _2_. Let them put it that are things weary of their lives, and know not honour; put the case you were kick'd? _1_. I do not say I was kickt. _2_. Nor no silly creature that wears his head without a Case, his soul in a Skin-coat: You kickt dear brother? _Bes_. Nay Gentlemen, let us do what we shall do, Truly and honest[l]y; good Sirs to the question. _1_. Why then I say, suppose your Boy kick't, Captain? _2_. The Boy may be suppos'd is liable. _1_. A foolish forward zeal Sir, in my friend; But to the Boy, suppose the Boy were kickt. _Bes_. I do suppose it. _1_. Has your Boy a sword? _Bes_. Surely no; I pray suppose a sword too. _1_. I do suppose it; you grant your Boy was kick't then. _2_. By no means Captain, let it be supposed still; the word grant, makes not for us. _1_. I say this must be granted. _2_ This must be granted brother? _1_. I, this must be granted. _2_. Still this must? _1_. I say this must be granted. _2_. I, give me the must again, brother, you palter. _1_. I will not hear you, wasp.
