of Friendship and Civility.

Well, well, Madam, said Glanville, I'll convince you of my Innocence, by bringing that Rascal's Head to you, whom you suspect I was inclined to assist in stealing you away.
If you do that, resumed Arabella, doubtless you will be iustified in my Opinion, and the World's also; and I shall have no Scruple to treat you with as much Friendship as I did before.
