Scene 5.
Enter two other Gentlemen.
1 GEnt.

The Lady Faction is of a strange busy Nature, she runs into eve∣ry House, takes upon her to govern every ones Family, yet cannot rule her own; she condemns all Actions, be they never so Just or Prudent; all Officers, be they never so worthy, or fitly placed; all Laws, be they never so beneficial, or expedient for the Common-wealth; all Customs, be they never so antient or harmless, indeed all peaceable, wise, and well or∣dered Governments: she hates and delights in nothing but disordered change.

2 Gent.

'Tis said she is in love with Sir William Admirer.

1 Gent.

And he in love with the Lady Peaceable.

2 Gent.

She is a sweet Lady.

Exeunt.
