_Recorders 1. 2._ Tear his accursed limbs, to hell with him, ha! A mischief on that innocent face, away. [_Creeps in._ _Enter Boy like an Angel._ _Boy._ Malicious furies hence, choak not the seeds Of holy penitence. _Ju._ This must be an Angel, How at his presence the fiends crawl away! Here is some light of mercy. _Boy._ Be thou wise, And entertain it, wretched, wretched man; What poor defence hath all thy wealth been to thee? What says thy conscience now? _Ju._ Be my good Angel, here I promise thee, To become honest, and renounce all villany; Enjoyn me any pennance, I'll build Churches; A whole City of Hospitals. _Boy._ Take heed, There is no dallying, nor are these impos'd. _Ju._ Name any thing within my power, sweet Angel; And if I do not faithfully perform it, Then whip me every day, burn me each minute, Whole years together let me freeze to Isicles. _Boy._ I'th' number of thy foul oppressions; Thou hast undone a faithful Gentleman, By taking forfeit of his Land. _Ju._ Young _Lurcher_, I do confess. _Boy._ He lives most miserable, And in despair may hang or drown himself; Prevent his ruine, or his blood will be More sin in thy account: hast thou forgotten He had a sister? _Ju._ I do well remember it. _Boy._ Couldst thou for Mammon break thy solemn vow, Made once to that unhappy maid, that weeps A thousand tears a day for thy unkindness, Was not thy faith contracted, and thy heart? And couldst thou marry another? _Ju._ But she is dead, And I will make true satisfaction. _Boy._ What do I instance these that hast been false To all the world. _Ju._ I know it, and will henceforth Practice repentance, do not frown sweet Angel; I will restore all Mortgages, forswear Abominable Usury, live chaste; For I have been wanton in my shroud, my age; And if that poor innocent maid, I so abus'd, Be living, I will marry her, and spend My days to come religiously. _Boy._ I was commanded but a Messenger To tell thee this, and rescue thee from those, Whose malice would have dragg'd thee quick to hell, If thou abuse this mercy and repent not, Double damnation will expect thee for it; But if thy life be virtuous hereafter, A blessedness shall reward thy good example, Thy fright hath much distracted thy weak sences, Drink of this viol, and renew thy spirits I ha done my office, think on't and be happy. _Lur._ So, so, he gapes already, now he's fast; Thou hast acted rarely, but this is not all; First, help to convey him out o' th' vault. _Boy._ You will dispense with me now, as you promis'd, Sir. _Lur._ We will make shift without thee, th'ast done well, By our device this bondage may scape hell. [_Exit._
