day at _Hammersmith_ about noon, where he wou'd dine with her, and
so come home together. She therefore sent a Messenger to tell her
Treacherous Lover she must needs speak with him on _Thursday Morning_, for
she had something of Moment to impart to him; who presently on the
receiving of this Note, came to her, fearing there might be some Discovery
of their Love-enjoyment.

As soon as he was come, she tells him she was extreamly Troubled she had
not seen him since; and that she never had enjoy'd more pleasure than in
his Embraces; and understanding that her Husband wou'd be at home on
_Friday Night_, she had contriv'd things so, that he might freely, and
without Interruption, lie with her on _Thursday Night_. Which she desir'd
on the Account of that affection which she had for him, and of the Pleasure
which she took in his Embraces; and that he might be satisfy'd 'twas so,
she did engage the next Morning to present him with his Fifty Guineas,
which, she was sorry that she had took of him: And as a further Testimony
of it, if he could but procure things necessary for the picking of the
Locks belonging to her Husbands Cabinet, she'd give him back the Diamond
Ring he gave her Husband as a Pledge for fifty Guineas; and, as occasion
offer'd, wou'd be very grateful to him otherways.

These _Generous Offers_ overcame the Spark to all Intents and purposes; and
he wou'd fain have been a dabling with her then; But she forbid him, and
told him 'twas not at that time convenient, but she had order'd matters so,
that when he came on _Thursday-night,_ there shou'd be nothing that shou'd
interrupt them. Telling him further, she had made the Maid acquainted with
their Secrets, who was intirely in their Interests, and that it wou'd not
be amiss to give her something as an Encouragement: And thereupon, calling
the Maid to fetch a Bottle of Wine, he gave her half a Guinea, and told
her, _that was but an Earnest of that which he intended her to
Morrow-night_. And then drinking his Wine up, he gave his Mistress a
Salute, and took his leave; she bidding him besure not to forget to bring
the _Picklocks_ with him, that she might help him to the Ring.

The Plot being thus laid, on _Thursday-Morning_, she prepares to meet her
Husband; having before acquainted her Maid with her Design, who mightily
commended both her Honesty and Ingenuity, for she knew nothing of what had
before past between 'em.
