_Will._ The Clarke of _Chattam,_ he can write and reade and cast ·dam055· account, I tooke him setting of boyes coppies, and hee has a booke in his pocket with red letters. _Cade._ Sonnes, hees a coniurer bring him hither. [dam058] Now sir, whats your name? [dam059] _Clarke._ Emanuell sir, and it shall please you. [dam060] _Dicke._ It will go hard with you, I can tell you, [dam061] For they vse to write that oth top of letters. [dam062] _Cade._ And what do you vse to write your name? [dam063] Or do you as auncient forefathers haue done, Vse the score and the Tally? ·dam065· _Clarke._ Nay, true sir, I praise God I haue been so well brought [dam066] vp, that I can write mine owne name. _Cade._ Oh hes confest, go hang him with his penny-inckhorne [dam068] about his necke. _Exet_ one with the Clarke. Enter _Tom_. _Tom._ Captaine. Newes, newes, sir Humphrey Stafford and his ·dam070· brother are comming with the kings power, and mean to kill vs all.

Kneele downe Iohn Mortemer, ·dam075· Rise vp sir Iohn Mortemer. Is there any more of them that be Knights? _Tom._ I his brother.

Enter sir _Humphrey Stafford_ and his brother, with Drumme and souldiers. _Cade._ As for these silken coated slaues I passe not a pinne, Tis to you good people that I speake. _Stafford._ Why country-men, what meane you thus in troopes, To follow this rebellious Traitor Cade? Why his father was but a Brick-laier. [dam085] _Cade._ Well, and Adam was a Gardner, what then? [dam086] But I come of the Mortemers. _Stafford._ I, the Duke of Yorke hath taught you that. _Cade._ The Duke of York, nay, I learnt it my selfe, For looke you, Roger Mortemer the Earle of March, ·dam090· Married the Duke of Clarence daughter. _Stafford._ Well, thats true: But what then? [dam092] _Cade._ And by her he had two children at a birth. _Stafford._ Thats false.
