Which Shakespeares play a very similar line from romeo and julyet?
Are you asking whether there is a line in another Shakespeare play, which is not Romeo and Juliet, which is a lot like a line which is in Romeo and Juliet?

Is friar Lawrence a Montague or Capulet?
Friar Lawrence is neither a Montague nor a Capulet. He is a member of the clergy in Verona who plays a significant role in the lives of Romeo and Juliet.
Is Gregory a Montague of Capulet?
That is a bit more complicated than it seems. In the opening of Act I Scene i, both Gregory and Samson are listed as "of the house of Capulet". They discuss hating the Montagues
and how they will fight them. However, there is no mention that they are related to the Capulets
by blood and are most likely servants since they reference their "master" numerous times. So yes they are on the Capulet "team" but probably not Capulets
themselves.
There is another possible point of confusion however: When Gregory and Sampson are arguing with Abram (assumed to be of the house of Montague) they decide to finally start fighting because Gregory says, "Here comes my master's kinsmen." (I,i,
52) What's confusing is that Benvolio,
Romeo's cousin and of the house of Montague, has just entered. So it seems you have a Capulet claiming one of his master's kinsmen (Benvolio)
is coming so they will have some back up, but Benvolio
would not have fought on their side because he is a Montague.
It can be assumed, however, that Gregory's line actually refers to Tybalt, Juliet's cousin and a Capulet, who enters soon after Benvolio
and that Gregory did not see Benvolio.
I'll let Capulet answer this. It's from Act 4 scene 4, the "cot-quean" scene:
Cap: Good Father, 'tis day. The County will be here with music straight, for so he said he would. I hear himnear.
I've added bolding to give you an extra hint.
Who are the main character in Romeo and Juliet?
Romeo and Juliet, obviously, are the main characters.
Other characters essential to the story are Friar Lawrence, Mercutio, Tybalt and Capulet. Not Benvolio, or even the Nurse.
Here's the story as compact as you can get it: Romeo meets Juliet at a party. Tybalt objects to his presence but is prevented from doing anything at that time. Romeo and Juliet pledge their love to each other and Friar Lawrence marries them secretly. Later, Tybalt finds Romeo with Mercutio. Romeo is unwilling to fight Tybalt and Mercutio takes the mickey for him. Romeo is incensed and kills Tybalt. He then (or shortly thereafter) flees as he is wanted by the law. Capulet insists that Juliet should marry another man, and she seeks the friar's advice. She fakes her death, and Romeo returns to complete the suicide scene at the end.
