Chapter 13

HYPOCRISY. Such chopping cheer as we have made, the like hath not been seen. And who so pleasant with my lord as is Philologus? His recantation he hath made, and is despatched clean Of all the griefs which unto him did seem so dangerous: Which thing, you know, was brought to pass especially by us, So that Hypocrisy hath done that which Satan did intend, That men for worldly wealth should cease the gospel to defend. What shall become of foolish goose, I mean Philologus, In actual manner to your eyes shall represented be; For though as now he seems to be in state most glorious, He shall not long continue so, each one of you shall see. But needs I must be packing hence: my fellows stay for me. Shake hands, before we do depart; you shall see me no more; And though Hypocrisy go away, of hypocrites here is good store.

[_Exit_ HYPOCRISY.
