Your unknown Friend,

_A.B._

This Letter she sent by a special Messenger, with order to deliver it only
into his own hand, which was done accordingly. But, when he had read it, he
was so extreamly surpriz'd at such an unexpected piece of Intelligence,
that he new not what to think of it: Sometimes he was of opinion that it
was only an Artifice of some that envy'd his Happiness in so Vertuous a
Wife, to sow Dissention between 'em; but when he was reffer'd to so easie a
Trial, he cou'd not but think there was something more in it then so: Upon
which he resolv'd to suspend his Judgment till he had made a farther Trial.
And therefore that afternoon, pretends to have Receive'd a Letter obliging
him to meet a Gentleman the next Morning between Four and Five a Clock at
_Westminster_ to treat with him about a parcel of Goods which he was to go
and see, and should not be back again till nine a Clock. And in the mean
time get's him a very Beauish Suit, Wig, and Hat, and plants 'em at a
Friends House; ready to put on in the Morning when he came thither. The
next Morning rises very early, pursuant to his Design; and having gone to
his Friends House, and accouter'd himself in his new Habilments, which had
so disguis'd him, that even his Friend had much ado to perswade himself
'twas the same Man. In this Garb, about six a Clock, he calls for a Glass
of Purl at an Ale-House, within sight of his own Door, waiting till his
Wife came out; who as soon as he had seen past by, he pays for his Glass of
Purl, and follows her: And she going towards St. _Antholin's_ Church, he
began to think she had been abus'd, and he impos'd upon; but he was quickly
convinc'd to the contrary, when he saw her go by the Church, and cross over
the way to the Back-side of St. _Thomas Apostles_, and there go into a
House: After she was gone in, he staid about half a quater of an hour, and
then according to the Directions of his Letter, he went in himself, and
ask'd far the Gentlewoman of the House; at which the Old Bawd appearing,
Are you the Gentlewoman of the House, Madam, said he? Yes, Sir, says she,
for want of a better I am: Pray what wou'd you have with me? Why, Madam,
says he, I want a certain sort of a Fleshly Convenience, and I am inform'd
you can help me to one. At which the Bawd look'd a little strangely upon
him; I help you to one, Sir, said she?
