affoards both Pleasure, Mirth and Joy. [Illustration: 27 _Published by The Navarre Society, London._] But our new married Couple went clear another way to work, who now to their full contentment, act so many pretty Apish tricks, injoy such multiplicities of kindnesses, and toss each other such quantities of kisses, as if there were a whole Kingdom, or at the least a vast Estate to be gained thereby: So that they find, that in that estate, there are not only Ten, but a thousand Pleasures cemented together in it; whereof in the following shall be demonstrated in some part the imperfect gloss, but never the accomplished Portrait. THE SECOND PLEASURE. _The Husband grows Pipsy; and keeps the first Lying-in: Takes the Doctors advice.

Here it may be plainly seen how pleasant and delightfull it is for the young woman, because her physiognomy begins to grow the longer the more frank and jocund. _So, that to us, her countenance doth display Her souls content, e're since her Wedding day._ But just as a burning Candle doth consume, though to it self insensible, yet maketh of hers joyfull by its light, so doth our new married Man, before few months are expired, find that he becomes t
