_Sir John._ You----Constable--What damn'd Justice is this? _Constab._ One that will take Care of you, I warrant you. _Enter Justice._ _Just._ Well, Mr. Constable, what's the Disorder here? _Constab._ An't please your Worship---- _Sir John._ Let me speak, and be damn'd: I'm a Divine, and can unfold Mysteries better than you can do. _Just._ Sadness, sadness! A Minister so overtaken! Pray, Sir, give the Constable leave to speak, and I'll hear you very patiently: I assure you, Sir, I will. _Sir John._ Sir----You are a very civil Magistrate! Your most humble Servant. _Constab._ An't please your Worship, then, he has attempted to beat the Watch to-night, and swore---- _Sir John._ You lye. _Just._ Hold, pray, Sir, a little. _Sir John._ Sir, your very humble Servant. _Constab._ Indeed, Sir, he came at us without any Provocation, call'd us Whores and Rogues, and laid us on with a great Quarter-staff. He was in my Lord _Rake_'s Company: They have been playing the Devil to-night. _Just._ Hem----Hem----Pray, Sir----may you be Chaplain to my Lord? _Sir John._ Sir----I presume----I may if I will. _Just._ My meaning, Sir, is----Are you so? _Sir John._ Sir--You mean very well. _Just._ He, hem----hem----Under Favour, Sir, pray answer me directly. _Sir John._ Under Favour, Sir----Do you use to answer directly when you are drunk? _Just._ Good lack, good lack! Here's nothing to be got from him: Pray, Sir, may I crave your Name? _Sir John._ Sir----My Name's----[_He hiccups._] Hiccup, Sir. _Just._ Hiccup? Doctor _Hiccup_, I have known a great many Country Parsons of that Name, especially down in the _Fenns_. Pray where do you live, Sir? _Sir John._ Here----and there, Sir. _Just._ Why, what a strange Man is this! Where do you preach, Sir? Have you any Cure? _Sir John._ Sir----I have----a very good Cure----for a Clap, at your Service. _Just._ Lord have mercy upon us! _Sir John._ [_Aside._] This Fellow asks so many impertinent Questions, I believe, I'gad, 'tis the Justice's Wife in the Justice's Clothes. _Just._ Mr. Constable, I vow and protest, I don't know what to do with him. _Constab._ Truly, he has been but a troublesome Guest to us all Night. _Just._ I think, I had e'en best let him go about his Business; for I'm unwilling to expose him. _Constab._ E'en what your Worship thinks fit. _Sir John._ Sir----not to interrupt Mr. Constable, I have a small Favour to ask. _Just._ Sir, I open both my Ears to you. _Sir John._ Sir, your very humble Servant. I have a little urgent Business calls upon me; and therefore I desire the Favour of you to bring Matters to a Conclusion. _Just._ Sir, if I were sure that Business were not to commit more Disorders, I wou'd release you. _Sir John._ None----By my Priesthood! _Just._ Then, Mr. Constable, you may discharge him. _Sir John._ Sir, your very humble Servant.
