Scene 8.
My Lord is extremely troubled for the marriage of his Son.
He is so, and so very angry with his Son, as he would not give him his blessing when he came, although he hath not seen him in seven years; for so long hath my Lord been Embassadour here.
Sometimes Embassadours are many years imployed out of there own Country.
They are so, but my Lord is sent for home, which I am very glad of.
Doth his Son return home with him?
No, for he sends him to travel into several Countryes, for as many years as my Lord hath been from his Country.
Why doth he command him so long a time to Travel, having no more Sons?
To have him Travel out the remembrance of his Wife, at least his affections to her.
Why, would not my Lord have his Son love his Wife, now he is marryed?
No, for my Lord saith that the marriage is not a true marriage; for the Lady is not of marrigable years, and that is not untill the Female is past twelve.
Why so?
I know not, but so it is according to our Canon, and Com∣mon Laws.
