  Souldiers to the massacre。
  GUISE。      Anjoy;    Dumaine;    Gonzago;     Retes;   sweare   by   The   argent
  crosses on your burgonets; To kill all that you suspect of heresie。
  DUMAINE。 I sweare by this to be unmercifull。
  ANJOY。 I am disguisde and none nows who I am; And therfore meane
  to murder all I meet。
  GONZAGO。 And so will I。
  RETES。 And I。
  GUISE。 Away then; break into the Admirals house。
  GETES。 I let the Admirall be first dispatcht。
  GUISE。 The Admirall; Cheefe standard bearer to the Lutheranes; Shall
  in   the  entrance   of  this  Massacre;    Be   murdered    in  his  bed。   Gonzago
  conduct them hither; and then Beset his house that not a man may live。
  ANJOY。 That charge is mine。 Swizers keepe you the streetes; And at
  ech corner shall the Kings garde stand。
  GONZAGO。 Come sirs follow me。
  Exit Gonzago and others with him。
  ANJOY。   Cossin;   the   Captaine   of   the Admirals   guarde;   Plac'd   by   my
  brother; will betray his  Lord: Now Guise  shall catholiques flourish  once
  againe; The head being of; the members cannot stand。
  RETES。 But look my Lord; ther's some in the Admirals house。
  Enter 'above Gonzago and others' into the Admirals house; and he in
  his bed。
  ANJOY。       In  lucky  time;  come    let  us  keep  this  lane;  And   slay   his
  servants that shall issue out。
  GONZAGO。 Where is the Admirall?
  ADMIRALL。 O let me pray before I dye。
  GONZAGO。 Then pray unto our Ladye; kisse this crosse。

  Stab him。
  ADMIRALL。 O God forgive my sins。
  GUISE。 What; is he dead Gonzago?
  GONZAGO。 I my Lord。
  GUISE。 Then throw him down。
  'The body is thrown down。 Exeunt Gonzago and rest above。'
  ANJOY。 Now cosin view him well; It may be it is some other; and he
  escapte。
  GUISE。 Cosin tis he; I know him by his look。 See where my Souldier
  shot him through the arm。 He mist him neer; but we have strook him now。
  Ah     base   Shatillian   and   degenerate;     Cheef    standard    bearer   to  the
  Lutheranes; Thus in despite of thy Religion; The Duke of Guise stampes
  on thy liveles bulke。
  Away   with   him;   cut   of   his   head   and   handes;   And   send   them   for   a
  present to the Pope: And when this just revenge is finished; Unto mount
  Faucon will we dragge his coarse: And he that living hated so the crosse;
  Shall being dead; be hangd thereon in chaines。
  GUISE。 Anjoy; Gonzago; Retes; if that you three; Will be as resolute
  as I and Dumaine: There shall not a Hugonet breath in France。
  ANJOY。 I sweare by this crosse; wee'l not be partiall; But slay as many
  as we can come neer。
  GUISE。 Mountsorrett; go and shoote the ordinance of; That they which
  have already set the street May know their watchword; and then tole the
  bell; And so lets forward to the Massacre。
  MOUNTSORRELL。 I will my Lord。
  Exit Mountsorrell。
  GUISE。 And now my Lords let us closely to our busines。
  ANJOY。 Anjoy will follow thee。
  DUMAINE。 And so will Dumaine。
  The ordinance being shot of; the bell tolles。
  GUISE。 Come then; lets away。
  Exeunt。
  The Guise enters againe; with all the rest; with their Swords drawne;

  Enter Loreine running; the Guise and the rest pursuing him。
  GUISE。 Loreine; Loreine; follow Loreine。。 Sirra; Are you a preacher
  of these heresies?
  LOREINE。 I am a preacher of the word of God; And thou a traitor to
  thy soule and him。
  GUISE。 Dearely beloved brother; thus tis written。
  He stabs him。

  on   Christ;  Without   the   intercession   of   some   Saint?   Sanctus   Jacobus   hee
  was my Saint; pray to him。

  'SceneVII'
  Enter Ramus in his studie。
  RAMUS。   What   fearfull   cries   come   from   the   river   Sene;   That   fright
  poore Ramus sitting at his book? I feare the Guisians have past the bridge;
  And meane once more to menace me。
  Enter Taleus。
  TALEUS。 Flye Ramus flye; if thou wilt save thy life。
  RAMUS。 Tell me Taleus; wherfore should I flye?
  TALEUS。 The Guisians are hard at thy doore; And meane to murder us:
  Harke; harke they come; Ile leap out at the window。
  'Runs out from studie。'
  RAMUS。 Sweet Taleus stay。
  Enter Gonzago and Retes。
  GONZAGO。 Who goes there?
  RETES。 Tis Taleus; Ramus bedfellow。
  GONZAGO。 What art thou?
  TALEUS。 I am as Ramus is; a Christian。
  RETES。 O let him goe; he is a catholick。
  Exit Taleus。
  Enter Ramus 'out of his studie'。
  GONZAGO。 Come Ramus; more golde; or thou shalt have the stabbe。
  RAMUS。 Alas   I   am   a   scholler;   how   should   I   have   golde? All   that   I
  have is but my stipend from the King; Which is no sooner receiv'd but it is
  spent。
  Enter the Guise and Anjoy '; Dumaine; Mountsorrell; with soldiers'。
  ANJOY。 Whom have you there?
  RETES。 Tis Ramus; the Kings professor of Logick。
  GUISE。 Stab him。
  RAMUS。 O good my Lord; Wherein hath Ramus been so offencious?
  GUISE。 Marry sir; in having a smack in all; And yet didst never sound

  any thing to the depth。 Was it not thou that scoff'dst the Organon; And said
  it was a heape of vanities? He that will be a flat decotamest; And seen in
  nothing but Epitomies: Is in your judgment thought a learned man。 And he
  forsooth   must   goe   and   preach   in   Germany:   Excepting   against   Doctors
  actions; And   ipse   dixi   with this quidditie; Argumentum  testimonis   est   in
  arte partialis。 To contradict which; I say Ramus shall dye: How answere
  you that? your nego argumentum Cannot serve; Sirrah; kill him。
  RAMUS。 O good my Lord; let me but speak a word。
  ANJOY。 Well; say on。
  RAMUS。   Not   for   my   life   doe   I   desire   this   pause;   But   in   my   latter
  houre to purge my selfe; In that I know the things that I have wrote; Which
  as   I   heare   one   Shekins   takes   it   ill;   Because   my   places   being   but   three;
  contain all his: I knew the Organon to be confusde; And I reduc'd it into
  better forme。 And this for Aristotle will I say; That he that despiseth him;
  can nere Be good in Logick or Philosophie。 And thats because the blockish
  Sorbonests Attribute as much unto their workes; As to the service of the
  eternall God。
  GUISE。 Why suffer you that peasant to declaime? Stab him I say and
  send him to his freends in hell。
  ANJOY。 Nere was there Colliars sonne so full of pride。
  Kill him。 'Close the studie。'
  GUISE。   My   Lord Anjoy;   there   are   a   hundred   Protestants;  Which   we
  have   chaste   into   the   river   Sene;   That   swim   about   and   so   preserve   their
  lives: How may we doe? I feare me they will live。
  DUMAINE。   Goe   place   some   men   upon   the   bridge; With   bowes   and
  cartes to shoot at them they see; And sinke them in the river as they swim。
  GUISE。 Tis well advisde Dumain; goe see it done。
  Exit Dumaine。
  And in the mean time my Lord; could we devise; To get those pedantes
  from the Ki
