was forc’d to fly into the Low-Countries to secure himself; Chusing rather to trust to his Heels than his Hands.  His Wench was glad she was so rid of him; for being become Poor, and not able to supply her with Money, she was grown quite a weary of him; but not of her way of Living; For as soon as he was gone, she repairs again to the Old Bawd; and acquainted her how matters stood with her.  She has made the most of one, and now she must have another:  Well, says the Bawd, Do but carry your self, reserv’d and Maidenly, and I have a Spark that has a good Estate, and will be able to spend high upon you; but he must have a Maid, and that I have taught you well enough how to Counterfeit:—­Is he a married Man or single, says the Trull?—­A married Man, replies the Bawd, but that’s nothing as long as he has Money:  It were better indeed, that he were single, for then I cou’d draw him in to marry you; and he might make a good Cover; but don’t fear but we’ll do well enough as ’tis.—­Only besure you carry it shy at first, and that’s the way to draw him in, and make him the more Eager.—­Let me alone for that, says the Whore; do you but bring us together, and then leave it to me to make him bite:  I warrant you I’ll manage him, or else say I am the veriest Whore in all the Town.—­Which she might have safely ventur’d to do, without being Guilty of Lying.
