Clar. Ha! 'Tis from Manly——What's this, [Reads.] The private Encouragement you give that Fop Sir William, is not so closely managed to escape a jealous Lover's Eye that sees you every where; to be deceiv'd touches my tenderest Part, especially from one I thought my own; but we are subject to Mistakes; I find that I am so in you, my Eyes, my Ears, are all Witnesses. I shall take what Care I can not to be troublesome to you, since I find you no longer value the Peace of Manly.

Oh! monstrous, perfidious Mankind! Oh, I perceive your Drift, he charges me with this Fool, on Purpose to find Pretence for his own Falshood——It is a poor Excuse,——but what won't Men fall into, when they quit their Honour; Oh that I had but an Opportunity of upbraiding him to his Face.

Emil. That you shall; he knows not yet of the Discovery, I'll write to him to come here, I have no Reason to suspect his disobeying the Summons, no more now, than formerly.

Clar. Did he use to meet you then?

Emil. Most punctually——But I'll in and write to him, and be here in a Minute.

[Exit.

Clar. Well, it is impossible to dive into the Heart of Man, for sure he has the Face of Truth, nay, I can hardly believe he's false yet, so deep an Impression did his seeming Honesty stamp upon my Soul.

Re-enter Emilia.
