The things we do!

Jhon_. Fitt therefore
Wee should bee in our actions cautelous.[60]
_Fr. Rich_. And carefull least wee may incurr displeasure
Of such a noble patron.
_Abbot_. Well observ'd.
His bewtious Lady--
_Fr. Jhon_. A sweete soule indeede.
_Fr. Rich_. On whom Fryar _Jhon_ casts many a leering eye:
I have observd that too.
_Abbot_. Boath for her outward feature
And for her inward graces excellent
Beyond compare, shee lykewyse is to us
A worthy benefactor.
_Fr. Rich_. Tis confest.
_Fr. Jhon_. Would I might com to bee her confessor:
It is a fayre sweete lady.
_Fr. Rich_.[61] Howe the lecher
Hugges at the very name.
_Abbot_. Morninge and eveninge
They deyly com to mattens and to evensonge;
Such and so greate is theire devotion.
That, if not crasd or feylinge in theire healthe,
They do not misse us any hower of prayer;
And therefore it behooves us all in generall
To sett a carefull watche upon our deedes,
Least we that are proffest religious
Bee in the least deffective.
_Fr. Richard_. Noate, Fryar _Jhon_,
Howe hee makes anticke faces and in scorne
Of this your reverent counsell.
