Mr. _Ven._ Here Boy, desire them to walk up. [_Exit_ Drawer.] 'Tis my Brother, and a Counsellor, to make an End of this same Business. _Enter Justice_ Merryman _and a Counsellor; both Tables rise and join together._ _Merr._ Your Servant, Gentlemen, your Servant: Counsellor _Blunder_ and I have been canvasing the Business of this your Difference; and I believe, Brother, the Law will determine it as we have done; for it is point blank against you. Mr. _Ven._ If it is, I must be contented: Well Sir, the Child's your Wife's, and you shall have it; and to endear you the more to't, I'll settle my part of the Estate on you and yours for ever: Give me your Hand. [_They shake Hands._ We now are Friends. _Merr._ Why that's well said. _Couns._ We all are Witness to the Agreement. _Omnes._ All, all. _Comp._ Nay I scorn to be outdone in Civility; therefore if you please I have a Gallon or two of Prize-Wine, and half a Dozen of good sound _Bruges_-Capons, which I'll treat you and this good Company with at Supper; but no more Mutton, no not a bit. _Merr._ Well Brother, I'm glad you're Friends: Ods bobs I am. But come, let's home now, and see what's become of the Bride and Bridegroom: Farewel Friend, farewell: Come we'll pay at the Bar. [_Exeunt_ Merr. _Mr._ Vent. _and his Wife,_ Couns. _and_ Dodge. _Comp._ Come _Peg_, Come and kiss me. [_Compass_ kisses Peg. I am Friends with thee too now. _Pett._ Aye, aye, you have Reason, she has earn'd you a good Fortune; and need not venture to Sea any more: Yet one thing let me advise you, 'tis Counsel worth a good Fee, for it cures Cuckoldom. _Comp._ Sayst thou so, come let's hear it. _Pett._ This it is, Make a flat Divorce between your selves, be you no longer her Husband, nor she your Wife: Two or three Hours after meet again, salute, woo and wed afresh, and so the base Name of Cuckold's blotted quite. This has been experienc'd and approved by many. _Comp._ 'Tis excellent i'faith,--There, there's for you; and I thank you. _Peg_, I renounce thee,--nay and I renounce my self too from thee; thou art now a Widow, _Peg_; I'll go hang my self two or three Hours at one o' th' Main Yards, and so long thou shalt go drown thy self. Then we'll meet in _White-Chappel-Fields_, as it were by chance, and woo and wed again. _Peg._ With all my Heart, kind Sir, fare you well. _Comp._ Farewel Widow, remember Time and Place, and d' you hear, Put on your Sabbath-day best Clothes. _Peg._ I will, I will. [_Exit Peg._ _Comp._ Sir, I am beholding to you for your good Counsel. _Pett._ No, Sir, you have paid me for 't, but I hope you do not intend to follow your own. _Comp._ What is that? _Pett._ Why, you said you'd hang your self. _Camp._ No no, I have thought better on't, for I'll go drink my self dead drunk, then wake again, wash my Face, and meet the Bride. _Pett._ That's well said, and I'll accompany you, and wish you Joy. _Comp._ Joy, Sir, I have it Sir already, in a good Estate got by a Chopping Boy.
