_Br._ Hardly; there are none of the judges in town, else you should remove yourself (in spite of him) with a _habeas corpus_. But if you have a friend to deliver your tale sensibly to some justice o' the town, that he may have feeling of it (do you see), you may be bailed; for as I understand the case, 'tis only done _in terrorem_; and you shall have an action of false imprisonment against him when you come out, and perhaps a thousand pound costs. 80 _Enter_ Master WOLF. _Qu._ How now, Master Wolf?--what news?--what return? _Wo._ 'Faith, bad all: yonder will be no letters received. He says the sessions shall determine it. Only, Master Deputy Golding commends him to you, and with this token wishes he could do you other good. _Qu._ I thank him. Good Master Bramble, trouble our quiet no more; do not molest us in prison thus, with your winding devices; pray you depart. For my part, I commit my cause to Him that can succour me; let God work His will. Master Wolf, I pray you let this be distributed among the prisoners, and desire 'hem to pray for us. 93 _Wo._ It shall be done, Master Francis. _1st Pr._ An excellent temper! _2nd Pr._ Now God send him good luck! [_Exeunt_[117] _two_ Prisoners _and_ Friend. _Pe._ But what said my father-in-law, Master Wolf? _Enter_ HOLDFAST. _Ho._ Here's one would speak with you, sir. _Wo._ I'll tell you anon, Sir Petronel; who is't? _Ho._ A gentleman, sir, that will not be seen. 100 _Enter_ GOLDING. _Wo._ Where is he? Master Deputy! your worship is welcome---- _Go._ Peace! _Wo._ Away, sirrah! [_Exit_[118] BRAMBLE. _Go._ Good faith, Master Wolf, the estate of these gentlemen, for whom you were so late and willing a suitor, doth much affect me; and because I am desirous to do them some fair office, and find there is no means to make my father relent so likely as to bring him to be a spectator of their miseries, I have ventured on a device, which is, to make myself your prisoner: entreating you will presently go report it to my father, and (feigning an action at suit of some third person) pray him by this token, that he will presently, and with all secrecy, come hither for my bail; which train, if any, I know will bring him abroad; and then, having him here, I doubt not but we shall be all fortunate in the event. 117 _Wo._ Sir, I will put on my best speed to effect it. Please you come in. _Go._ Yes; and let me rest concealed, I pray you. _Wo._ See here a benefit truly done, when it is done timely, freely, and to no ambition.
