tell you what you shall do--Why, says she, many times I rise at five a
Clock in the Morning, and having got my self drest by Six a Clock, I go to
the Lecture at St. _Antholines_, which is done a little before Eight, and
then I return home; and at Ten--Hold, says the Bawd, you need say no more;
There's nothing in the World blinds a Man like a pretence of Devotion; and
therefore if you can get out at Six a Clock to go to the Lecture, 'tis the

more nearly another way: Which he not knowing, nor believing, thought
himself as happy in her, as any Man in _London_ was in a Wife: So true is
that Proverb, Than _What the Eye sees not, the Heart rues not_.

But there were other Citizens Wives that were as full of Leachery as this,
