differing in the Progress thereof, then it is that the Man makes his Addresses

When she is won, the Parents of both Parties, (with Advice of the King)
agree about the Matter, making a Promise of their Daughter, to the Man,
that requires her, it often happening that they converse and travel together,
for several Moons before the Marriage is publish'd openly; After this,
at the least Dislike the Man may turn her away, and take another;

the Husband, and his Wife's Gallant. The Man proves often so good humour'd
as to please his Neighbour and gratify his Wife's Inclinations,
by letting her out for a Night or two, to the Embraces of some other,
which perhaps she has a greater Liking to, tho' this is
not commonly practis'd.

They set apart the youngest and prettiest Faces for trading Girls;
these are remarkable by their Hair, having a particular Tonsure
by which they are known, and distinguish'd from those engag'd to Husbands.
They are mercenary, and whoever makes Use of them, first hires them,
the greatest Share of the Gain going to the King's Purse,
who is the chief Bawd, exercising his Perogative over all
