Coventry's jealousies, I doubt, concerning me, partly my siding with Sir G.

Coventry, that is propounded by the Duke, as now to have Troutbecke, his old surgeon, and intended to go Surgeon-General of the fleete, to go Physician-General of the fleete, of which there never was any precedent in the world, and he for that to have L20 per month.
Oh decline those thoughts; Let not the lucid tapers of your soule, Bright grace and reason, fondly be extinct. Lady. These are toyes Forgd to delude mortality: let me die And afterwards my uncontroled Ghost Shall visitt you.

The Town Waites whome I appointed to come and visitt us. Suc. 'Twas well donn: have you ere a good song? Tim. Yes, they have many. Suc. But are they bawdy? come, sir, I see by your simpring it is you that sings, but do not squeake like a French Organ-pipe nor make faces as if you were to sing a Dirge. Grimes.
