PARDONER.

Which to remit this pardon is not able--

FRIAR.

Look that ye distribute it wisely--

PARDONER.

 

As well declareth the sentence of this letter--

FRIAR.

FRIAR.

I would thou knowest it, knave, I will not leave a whit--

PARDONER.

No more will I, I do thee well to wit--

FRIAR.

PARDONER.
