DUKE, ⌜giving the Friar papers.⌝ 2327These letters at fit time deliver me. 2328The Provost knows our purpose and our plot. 2329The matter being afoot, keep your instruction 2330And hold you ever to our special drift, 23315Though sometimes you do blench from this to that 2332As cause doth minister. Go call at ⌜Flavius’⌝ house 2333And tell him where I stay. Give the like notice 2334To Valencius, Rowland, and to Crassus, 2335And bid them bring the trumpets to the gate. 233610But send me Flavius first. FRIAR PETER2337
It shall be speeded well.⌜He exits.⌝
Enter Varrius.
