quietly in her Lap:
And the next Night, after he had drawn Notes on two or three of his
Bankers, for the Payment of three thousand Guineas to Sir _Philip_, or
Order, and received his own Bond, made for what he had lost at Play,
from _Friendly_, she made no great Difficulty to admit his Majesty to
her Bed. Where I think fit to leave 'em for the present; for (perhaps)
they had some private Business.

The next Morning before the Titular King was (I won't say up, or
stirring, but) out of Bed, young _Goodland_ and _Philibella_ were
privately marry'd; the Bills being all accepted and paid in two Days

Time, especially when _Goodland_ was there, as then he was above with
his Lady and _Philibella_, who came down presently after to Dinner.

About Four o'Clock, as his Majesty had intrigu'd with her, _Lucy_ took a
Hackney-Coach, and went to her Lodgings; whither about an Hour after, he
