NEW CUS. Truly so I am called of some, As of such as want both wit and understanding, As you do now, I know by your talking: But woe be to those that make no distinction Between many things of diverse condition; As naught to be good, and hot to be cold, And old to be new, and new to be old. Wherefore these deceits you daily invent, The people to seduce unto your advertisement, While with tales you assay, and with lies you begin, The truth to deface, and your credit to win. PERV. DOC. What is thy name, then? I pray thee make declaration. NEW CUS. In faith, my name is Primitive Constitution. PERV. DOC. Who? who, _Prava Constitutio_? even so I thought, I wist that it was some such thing of nought.[15] Like lettuce,[16] like lips; a scabb'd horse for a scald squire. NEW CUS. _Primitive Constitution_ I said, if you hear, Such orders as in the primitive church heretofore Were used, but not now, the more pity therefore. PERV. DOC. Ha, ha! in good time, sir, well might you fare, Primitive Constitution, That is your true name, you say, without all delusion. Primitive Constitution (quodestow[17]) as much as my sleeve! The devil on him which will such liars believe! For my part, if I credit such an hairy nowl,[18] The foul fiend of hell fetch me, body and soul! NEW CUS. Truth cannot prevail, where Ignorance is in place. IGNORANCE. Peace, or I will lay my beads on thy face: Hast thou nothing to rail at but Ignorance, I trow? NEW CUS. You may use me even at your pleasure, I know; For Perverse Doctrine, that is rooted so fast, That it may not be changed at no heavenly blast, May not hear the contrary, but beginneth to kick, Like a jade when he feeleth the spur for to prick. PERV. DOC. Yea! say'st thou so, thou miscreant villain? A little thing would make me knock out thy brain: Hence out of my sight away, packing, trudge! Thou detestable heretic, thou caitiff, thou drudge; If I may take thee, it were as good thou were dead, For even with this portace[19] I will batter thy head. [_Exit New Custom._
