_Or_. Your lordships true friend and most obedient Servant. _Van_.

Come to the present busines then. _Or_. We attend you.

[_Exeunt_. ACTUS SECUNDUS. SCAENA PRIMA.

_Enter_Barnavelt,_Leidenberch,_Modesbargen_. _Bar_. I have with danger venturd thus far to you That you might know by me our plot's discoverd.

But let not that discourage you: though _Van_Dort_ And _Bredero_, with others, have assented To force this Towne, stand you still on your Guard, And on my reputation rest assured With violence they never dare attempt you; For that would give the world to understand Th'united Provinces, that by their concord So long have held out 'gainst th'opposition Of all _Spaines_ Governours, their plotts and armyes, Make way to their most certaine ruyn by A Civill warre. _Leid_. This cannot be denide.
