shadowes, y
e women, walking flames.

Mee thinks I talke like a ꝑemptory statesman already, I shall quickly learne to
forget my selfe and my freinds when I am in great office; I will oppresse y

serve heaven as farr as
heavenmy ꝑfit will give me leave, and tremble onely
at y
e summons of a parliament.
