Harps. Wilt thou not come when he so gently speaketh to thee, where he may command thee?
Bland. I do not deny to come, but I desire a longer day.
Harps. Thou shalt have no other day: I charge thee to come on Monday.
Bland. Sir, I perceive it shall be for this or like matters: will it please you, or Mr. Collins, for God's sake, to confer scriptures privately with me in this matter, seeing you say you would so gladly win me.
Harps. With all my heart will I take the pains, and I will borrow my lord of Dover's library, to have what books thou wilt: and thus they departed. Now the 17th of May at Ashford I could not be released, although I was called to the Spiritual Court for that purpose, but was bound to appear at the sessions held at Crambroke the third of July.
