III.

The DUKE OF GLOSTER exposing the impostor, SAUNDER SIMPCOX, who pretended to have been cured of blindness at St. Alban's shrine, but still to be lame.

"GLO. Now, sirrah, if you mean to save yourself from whipping, leap me over this stool, and run away.

SIMP. Alas, master! I am not able to stand alone; You go about to torture me in vain.

GLO. Well, sir, we must have you find your legs. Sirrah, beadle, whip him till he leap over that same stool.

BEADLE. I will, my lord. Come on, sirrah; off with your doublet quickly.

SIMP. Alas, master! what shall I do? I am not able to stand."

(After the Beadle hath hit him once, he leaps over the stool, and runs away, and the people follow, crying " A miracle.")
