Pray heauen it be not full of Knight againe 1 Ser. I hope not, I had liefe as beare so much lead Ford. I, but if it proue true (Mr. Page) haue you any way then to vnfoole me againe. Set downe the basket villaine: some body call my wife: Youth in a basket: Oh you Panderly Rascals, there's a knot: a gin, a packe, a conspiracie against me: Now shall the diuel be sham'd. What wife I say: Come, come forth: behold what honest cloathes you send forth to bleaching Page. Why, this passes M[aster]. Ford: you are not to goe loose any longer, you must be pinnion'd Euans. Why, this is Lunaticks: this is madde, as a mad dogge Shall. Indeed M[aster]. Ford, this is not well indeed Ford. So say I too Sir, come hither Mistris Ford, Mistris Ford, the honest woman, the modest wife, the vertuous creature, that hath the iealious foole to her husband: I suspect without cause (Mistris) do I? Mist.Ford. Heauen be my witnesse you doe, if you suspect me in any dishonesty Ford. Well said Brazon-face, hold it out: Come forth sirrah Page. This passes Mist.Ford.

If you find a man there, he shall dye a Fleas death Page. Heer's no man Shal. By my fidelity this is not well Mr. Ford: This wrongs you Euans. Mr Ford, you must pray, and not follow the imaginations of your owne heart: this is iealousies Ford. Well, hee's not heere I seeke for Page. No, nor no where else but in your braine Ford. Helpe to search my house this one time: if I find not what I seeke, shew no colour for my extremity: Let me for euer be your Table-sport: Let them say of me, as iealous as Ford, that search'd a hollow Wall-nut for his wiues Lemman. Satisfie me once more, once more serch with me M.Ford. What hoa (Mistris Page,) come you and the old woman downe: my husband will come into the Chamber Ford. Old woman? what old womans that? M.Ford. Why it is my maids Aunt of Brainford Ford. A witch, a Queane, an olde couzening queane: Haue I not forbid her my house. She comes of errands do's she? We are simple men, wee doe not know what's brought to passe vnder the profession of Fortune-telling. She workes by Charmes, by Spels, by th' Figure, & such dawbry as this is, beyond our Element: wee know nothing. Come downe you Witch, you Hagge you, come downe I say
