Now Sir have you the same hopes you had of Marrying Mrs. Angelica You see her Mother 's an imperious Woman and will never give her consent to it The Doctor I confess is an able Physician an excellent man in his way but yet he has the fortune to be Hen-peck'd and must submit as many wise and learned men have done therefore you must not build upon his promises Besides I do not find you have got the Daughter's consent yet and that 's the main point of all O.

Why do you choose this back Apartment at the end of the Garden You us'd to do it in the Great Hall formerly Dr. My Wife will have it so and that 's enough the body may be brought in privately at that back door for so I order'd it Besides the wrangling disputations of self-conceited obstinate Physicians who come to see my operation will at this distance less disturb the Neighbourhood they will maintain their notions with more noise than Betters in a Cock-pit Beat.

But Sir you won't begin the Anatomy before the Doctors come Dr. Fetch it I say Bea. Well Sir since I must Exit Bea. Dr. He 's not ill shap'd nor is he very ill featur'd and yet his visage still retains much discontent and trouble Well all the Rules of Metoposcopy and Physiognomy are false if this was not a Rogue that very well deserv'd hanging This Incision pleases me extremely I 'll open his Besly from the Xiphoid Cartilage quite along to the Os ●ubis I feel his Heart pant yet If any of my fellow Physicians were here now especially those who doubt the Harveyan Doctrine I 'd let 'em plainly see the Circulation of the Blood thro the Systole and Diastole Enter Surgeon Sur.

Whither in such haste Cris Whither with a vengeance Let me out I say you must fetch the Incision Knife with a pox t' ye and all the other damnable Instruments to rip me up alive and make minc'd meat of me A curse on his Systol and Dyastole Bea. You are mistaken Crispin when I went out I did not go to fetch the Instruments I went to hide 'em where I was sure he cou'd never find ' em Cris I thought indeed you could not have the heart to see a man who loves you as I do so barbarously dismembred and therefore I lay still Bea. Well stay here a while I 'll run and give Angelica the Letter and return instantly Cris I beg your pardon I 'll stay no longer in this room Beat.

The Spirit 's come again Open the door I 'll rush out like a Lyon Bea. Have a care or you 'll spoil all Cris If the Dr catches me here he will spoil all Amputation and Incision will spoil all Bea. Come lay your self upon the Table quickly he has no Instruments Cris Not I for ought I know he may have some about him his Pockets may be fill'd with Knifes Pins Threads Saws and the Devil and all Bea. Well thought on Here hangs my Master's Gown and Cap you shall strait put 'em on and tell him you are a Physician just come from the University and understanding a dead Body was to be dissected by him came to hear his Lecture Cris
