_Or_. I beleeve you; And, to confirme it, with all possible speed I would have you to post thether: from the Borders Make choice of any horsemen you thinck fitt, And, when you come there, devide them into parties And lodge neere to the Castle. Yf _Modesbargen_ Come forth to hunt, or if at any time You find the draw-bridge up, break in upon him And willing or unwilling force him hether. You shall have gold to furnish you, and this don Propose your owne rewards, they shalbe graunted.
_Cap_. Yf I be wanting let my head pay for it; Ile instantly about it. [_Exit_.
_Will_. What will you do with _Leidenberge_?
_Bred_. Let him be Kept safe a while: for _Barnavelt_, till we have Some certaine proofes against him, I hold fitt He have his libertie, but be suspended From any place or voice in Court untill His guilt or inocence appeere.
_Boy_. Doe all theis, father, wayt on you?
_Boy_. Indeed I doe not like their Countenaunces; They looke as if they meant you litle good. Pray you, put them away.
_Leid_. Alas, poore inocent, It is for thee I suffer; for my self I have set up my rest.
_Or_. Now, Mounseiur _Leidenberch_, We send not for you, though your fault deserve it, To load you with reproofe, but to advise you To make use of the way we have found out To save your life and honour. You already, In free confession of your fault, have made A part of satisfaction; goe on in it, And you shall find a faire discovery Of youre fowle purposes and th'agents in 'em Will wyn more favour from theyr lordships to you Then any obstinate deniall can doe.
_Leid_. All that I know I will deliver to you, And beyond that your Excellence nor their Lordships Will not, I hope, perswade me.
_Vand_. In the meane time You are a prisoner.
_Boy_. Then I will be a prisoner, too. For heaven sake Let me goe with him, for theis naughtie men Will nere wayt on him well. I am usd to undresse him When he's to goe to bed, and then read to him Untill he be a sleepe, and then pray by him: I will not leave him.
_Bred_. Why, thou shalt not, Boy. Goe with thy father.
_Boy_. You are a good Lord, Indeed I love you for't and will pray for you. Come, father; now I must goe too, I care not. While I am with you, you shall have no hurt, Ile be your warrant.
