2 D. W.  Or why there’s sprung up now a new devotion? 
Good Gentlewoman, no.  Do you see this fellow? 
He is a Scholler and a parlous Scholler,
Or whether he be a Scholler or no ’tis not a doy’t matter: 
He’s a fine talker and a zealous talker;
We can make him thinck what we list, say what we list,
Print what we list and whom we list abuse in’t.

Eng.-gentw.  And a Teacher do you say?

2 D. W.  A singuler teacher, For so we hold such here.

Eng.-gentw.  Doe they use no modestie Upon my life, some of theis new Arminians, Theis hissing tosts!

Hold.  An ignorant strange woman, Whose faith is onely tride by a Coach and foure horses.

3 D. W.  Come, you must be as we are and the rest of your Countrywomen; You doe not know the sweet on’t.

Eng.-gentw.  Indeed, nor will not;
Our Cuntry brings us up to faire Obedience
To know our husbands for our Governours,
So to obey and serve ’em:  two heads make monsters;
Nor Dare we thinck of what is don above us,
Nor talk of Graves.

Hold.  The Grave shall smart for ’t shortly; Goe you and tell him soe, gooddy English woman:  You have long tayles and long tongues, but we shall clip ’em.

Enter Vandermitten.[155]

I D. W.  How now? what haste?

Vand.  The Prince is drawing up to us
And has disarmd all the strong Townes about us
Of our new Soldiers; the English now stand only
And the old Companies.

Eng.-gentw.  Now your wisdomes, Ladies,
Your learning also, Sir, your learned prating—­
You that dare prick your eares up at great Princes
And doble charge your tongue with new opinions,—­
What can you doe? or can theis holly woemen
That you have arm’d against obedience
And made contempners of the fooles their husbands,
Examiners of State,—­can they doe any thing? 
Can they defy the Prince?

Hold.  They shall defie him, And to his face:  why doe not ye raise the Burgers And draw up the new Companies?

    Enter Leidenberge?[156]

Leid.  Away, good women! 
This is no sport for you:  goe, cheere your husbands
And bid ’em stand now bravely for their liberties.
Arnam and Roterdam and all about us
Have yeilded him obedience; all the new Companies
Purgd and disarmd.  Goe you; talke to the Arminians,
And raise their harts.  Good Ladies, no more Councells: 
This is no time to puppet in.

1 D.  W.  We are gon, Sir,

2 D. W.  And will so coniure up our lazie husbands.

Eng.-gentw.  And coniure wisely, too; the devill will faile else.
                                  [Exeunt Women.

Leid.  What’s she?

Vand.  An English woman.
