Wounds drest that if it were possible he might live to repent and amend his wicked life When they had set Sir Malpas on hors-back and a man behinde him to hold him on and ordered two servants more to attend him to the next Town then they went to see what condition the Captain of the Out-laws was in whom they found to be stark dead for when he saw some of his men slain and the rest fled and finding himself in that extremity of pain and torture knowing the Law would take his life to prevent that he stab'd himself with his own sword so that there needed no further administration of Iustice upon so notorious a Malefactor When they saw he was dead Floridon and Chrysipus took away his Horse and Arms and went to search the Cave where they found but very little of any thing which was considerable so they lockt the doore of the Cave and taking Lucina and Isabella along they rode to the next Iustice of Peace and acquainted him with all that had hapned who presently appointed Officers to go bury the dead bodies and to take whatever was in the Cave to be sold for the use of the poor of the Parish and to break up and utterly demolish the Cave that it might not be a shelter to such villains for the future Then Floridon and Chrysipus with Lucina and Isabella rid to the Town where the servants had carried Sir Malpas to have his wounds drest when they came to him the Chyrurgion was just searching his wound and told them he found it to be incurable nevertheless he might live two or three days longer which Sir Malpas understood and desired he might die at his own Castle and be buried with his Predecessors CHAP. XI How they carried Sir Malpas to his Castle where he dyed very penitent and was nobly buried and how Floridon and Lucina was welcomed home with great joy and how they went to take leave of Loves Paradice ACcording to Sir Malpa's desire Chrisipus took care to provide a Horse-litter and all things necessary for his removall and commanding the servants to march easily along they all accompanied the wounded Knight when upon their journey they had sufficient time to declare to each other all their forepast sufferings and deliverances Then Lucina made known all Sir Malpa's Treachery which so amazed Chrysipus that he heartily repented that he had ever assisted his Vnke in so ignoble and base an enterprize Floridon was very willing for Isabella's sake to passe by all his ignorant failings so from that time there was an intire league of friendship betwixt them By that time they had understood Lucina's sufferings Floridon began and told them of his being taken by the Outlaws and carried to the Cave And Chrisipus and Isabella related the means of their deliverance from shipwrack With such like discourse they past away the time untill they were come to Sir Malpa's Castle where Floridon and Lucina would have taken their leaves but Chrisipus earnestly intreated them since his Vnkle had so short a time to live that they would stay to be witnesse how he disposed of his Estate at his Death As it was a reasonable request so they could not civily deny it Then they took wounded Sir Malpas and carried him to bed where he lay for a while so stupified with pain that he knew not where he was At length when he came to himself he told Chrisipus he was very glad he had found his Isabella again who he feared had been lost and since he had but a small time to continue he was willing to settle his 〈◊〉 Chrisipus and his Heirs for ever And thereupon he made his Will and gave Legacies to all his servants and a good sum of money to the poore being very charitable at his Death although he never was so before When he had set all things in order he then begun to reflect upon his wicked dealings with Floridon and Lucina and earnestly begg'd their pardon and forgivenesse since by his own folly he had procured his death they could desire no greater satisfaction He acknowledged it to be no more but what he had deserv'd First for deceiving Mariana and afterwards for endeavouring to wrong Floridon and Lucina who seeing him so penitent they were moves with compassion and freely forgave him for all the wrong that ever he had done them Whilst Sir Malpas lay in this sad condition just at the point of Death it chanced that Mariana heard newes of it and came to visit him but when she saw him almost dead and understood by what means he had procured his own Death she was almost destracted When Sir Malpas saw her so near him whom he had so much wronged He with a feeble voice desired her Not to disturbe him at his Death but freely to forgive all his misdeeds that he might go out of the World in Peace of Conscience She had scarce done speaking to him again before he dyed and left them all exceedingly satisfied by his penitent Death Then Chrisipus prepared all things necessary for his Burial and would by no means suffer Floridon and Lucina to dep●rt untill the Burial were past which lasted a week for he was very nobly Buried according to his Quality As soon as Mariana had séen her Beloved Malpas buried she took leave of the Company with great sorrow and retired to Loves Paradice to spend the rest of her dayes Now was Chrisipus and Isabella possesed of their Unkles Estate to Floridon and Lucina's great ioy who having séen all things decently performed courteously took their leaves of Chrisipus and Isabella who would needs go part of their way with them but that Floridon would by no means suffer them in regard their Unkle was so lately Buried Very many expressions of kindness passed amongst them and as much were they indeared one to another as if they had been near Relations Now had Floridon and Lucina their hearts delight and passed chearfully 〈◊〉 untill they 〈◊〉 to their 〈◊〉 habitations But to tell with what 〈◊〉 they were welcomed by their Friends Relations and Servants it would tire any tongue to relate There was Ringing of Bells and making of Bone-fires and all little enough to make known their happy arrival There could not possibly be more sorrow shown for their loss then there was expressions of Ioy for their safe return Their Friends stood in admiration to hear them relate in what a strange manner they were surpriz'd and carried away especially when they heard of Sir Malpas's Treachery and of the cause of his Death But after Floridon and Lucina had continued a while amongst their Relations to rest themselves after all their troubles They agreed to go once more to Loves Paradice so take leave of that Amorous Society which was so sorry for their abscence when they were once entered into that delightfull place the thoughts of all their former sufferings were quite vanished now they enioy'd each others company which

finde about me and believing that I was so weak I could not live they left me on shore some ten miles from this place where they came to take in fresh water With much adoe I got to a Farmers house where I was courteously entertained untill I was able to finde out your Castle where I should count my self to be exceeding happy after all my sufferings if it were not for the grief I indure for the loss of my Dear Isabella Sir Malpas was greatly moved to hear the relation of his Kinsmans sufferings and endeavoured to comfort him by promising to send messengers along the Sea-ceast to know if they could hear any tideings of Isabella With such like discourse they spent the time untill it was night when every one repaired to their rest but Sir Malpas could take none he was so distracted in his minde about Lucina one while he intended to impart the matter to Chrisipus and then again he doubted that Chrisipus would never consent to assist him in so ignible an enterprise At length his will overcame his reason and finding he could no way bring his design about but that Chrisipus would know of it he resolved to acquaint him with it in the morning but in such a manner as he should not perceive the action to be so grosse as indeed it was The next morning Sir Malpas sent for him down into a large Parlour where after they had taken a light breakfast they walked out into a private Garden which gave sufficient opportunity to Sir Malpas to discover his intentions in this manner Since Chrisipus it is your Fortune to happen hither at this time I shall intrust you with a secret that much concerns me which as yet none knows but my self It is so that I have cast my affection upon a Lady much deserving which by accident was brought to my Castle who is so regardlesse of my love that no perswasions will work with her Now I finde my self unable to live without the enjoyment of her therefore it is my resolution to remove her from hence into Florence and there to remain untill I shall perswade her to yield to my will not in the least to violate her chastity but to consent to lawfull marriage Chrisipus believing the business to be no otherwise then his Vnckle had related was loath to enquire further into it least he should offend him and therefore return'd him this answer Sir if your affection be grounded upon a deserving Subject and that without the enjoyment thereof you can take no comfort then I suppose you may use any lawfull means to gain her affection and if you be in hopes that change of Countryes may either mittigate your passion or make her more inclinable it will not be amisse to make tryal and for my own part Sir you shall finde me ready to assist you in any thing which may suite with your honour and repute Sir Malpas was glad to finde him so conformable to his will and thereupon he told Chrisipus that he intended to leave him intrusted with all his whole estate that he might return him moneys as his occasions should require and likewise to manage his business in his abscence that nothing might be amiss at his return And in this resolution they walk't in to consult about things convenient for their design Where we will leave them making preparation and return to the Cave to see how Floridon and Isabella fares whom we left separated by the coming in of the Robbers from ranging abroad CHAP. IX How Isabella dealt with the Captain by policy to preserve her chastity And how she went once more to consult with Floridon about their release THe Captain of this gang as I told you before was mightily indeared in affection to Isabella yet he never offered to abuse her honour in regard she had in policy promised him to be wholy at his command after one years sorrowing for the loss of her husband during which time she would rather dye a thousand deaths then suffer her self to be abused So that the Captain was contented to contain himself for so long rather then to hazard her love for the future which he made so full account to enjoy Isabella on the contrary desired nothing so much as to worke her release in that time which she had hopes the better now to effect by Floridons assistance in regard she perceived him to be a person with whom she might trust her life and honour She prevailed with the Captain that Floridon might be civily used in regard he was a person of quality and one that had never offended him in the least So he gave consent that Floridon should not be bound but have liberty to walke about the room notwithstanding he told Isabella that he intended to sell him to the first Pirate which hapned upon that Coast for he did not doubt but to receive a good sum of money for him Isabella thought long to have an opportunity to acquaint Floridon with his intent which hapned the next day when the Robbers were gone abroad according to their constant use then she went to visit disconsolate Floridon to whom she revealed this sad news which so much troubled his minde that he dispaired ever to see his Lucina again who though unknown to him was in as sad a condition as himself Isabella seeing him so overcome with grief endeavoured to comfort him all she could and told him that her condition was altogether as bad as his and rather worse for though he was taken from his Lucina who probably is living in health she was deprived of her Chrisipus who for any thing she knew was swallowed up of the merciless seas And therefore she desired him to take comfort and to endeavour their release to the furtherance whereof she promised her utmost assistance upon condition he would ingage to convey her home again into Scisily for having lost her Chrisipus she could not think her self in safety any where else Floridon was much revived to hear these comfortable speeches from Isabella for he was willing to promise and likewise to perform any thing to get out of the hands of these wicked wretches so that he thus replyed Courteous Lady I am bound beyond all expression to your worth and goodnesse for all the civility that I have found since I came amongst these barbarous and uncivil Villains so that I am never able to requite your kindnesse whilst I remain in this condition But Madam if the Fates shall once free us from this wretched captivity I shall to the utmost of my power strive to serve you in whatsoever may procure your content She courteously thanked him for his Love and told him she did not fear but providence would finde some way for their release ere long and so she took her leave for fear the Captain should return and finde her with him which might prove much to the prejudice of them both It was not long before the Captain came
