_Gom._ And you came running out of doors-- _Elv._ Only to meet you, sweet husband. _Gom._ A fine evidence summed up among you; thank you heartily, you are all my friends. The colonel was walking by accidentally, and hearing my voice, came in to save me; the friar, who was hobbling the same way too, accidentally again, and not knowing of the colonel, I warrant you, he comes in to pray for me; and my faithful wife runs out of doors to meet me, with all my jewels under her arm, and shrieks out for joy at my return. But if my father-in-law had not met your soldiers, colonel, and delivered me in the nick, I should neither have found a friend nor a friar here, and might have shrieked out for joy myself, for the loss of my jewels and my wife. _Dom._ Art thou an infidel? Wilt thou not believe us? _Gom._ Such churchmen as you would make any man an infidel.--Get you into your kennel, gentlewoman; I shall thank you within doors for your safe custody of my jewels and your own. [_He thrusts his wife off the stage._ As for you, colonel Huffcap, we shall try before a civil magistrate, who's the greater plotter of us two, I against the state, or you against the petticoat. _Lor._ Nay, if you will complain, you shall for something. [_Beats him._ _Gom._ Murder, murder! I give up the ghost! I am destroyed! help, murder, murder! _Dom._ Away, colonel; let us fly for our lives: the neighbours are coming out with forks, and fire-shovels, and spits, and other domestic weapons; the militia of a whole alley is raised against us. _Lor._ This is but the interest of my debt, master usurer; the principal shall be paid you at our next meeting. _Dom._ Ah, if your soldiers had but dispatched him, his tongue had been laid asleep, colonel; but this comes of not following good counsel; ah-- [_Exeunt_ LOR. _and Friar severally._
