returning to her new Lodgings, takes him along with her, defeating the whole Vengeance that was hatching against him, and not stirring from him till all her Goods were come up from Banbury, and a new House furnisht with 'em. She had not lived there three days, till finding a Gossiping Errand for her to keep her from home a whole day, at her Return at Night to Bed, she finds neither Husband nor Goods, Bed to lye, or Stool to sit upon; the whole House being utterly dismantled, and nothing but nakedness and empty Walls to receive her.

This last Cruelty of her Barbarian made her almost run stark Mad, and returning to her Holborn Lodging to own her frailty in believing an Infidel, and the Just Judgment that had befaln her upon it, she found the poor Ludlow Mourner departed, and all her Relief left was to return to Banbury to live upon the Alms of the Parish.

This Libertine Life of our Renegade did not long continue till found at last by the Ludlow Wife he was thrown into Worcester Jail; from thence by Habeas Corpus (at the Charge of a Parson in Southwark whose Daughter he had likewise Married) removed to Newgate, & upon an Indictment of six Wives appearing against him, being then Tryed by the Name of Morrel alias Bowyer (a Name of a Worthy Person of Quality, for personating of whom he had stood in the Pillory) he pleaded Guilty to those six and twelve more, and thereby received only the punishment of a Squeeze in the Fist.

After this Escape of a Halter, what his following Adventures have been we are not informed: 'tis to be believed his Will was no ways wanting, though his power of managing such hardy Exploits might undoubtedly be a little retrencht: and therefore we have reason to conclude he fell into smaller Games, in which his Walks have lain something more obscure, and thereupon by reason of our unacquaintance with the Truth of that part of his Life, we shall over-leap some years, and bring him to his Conclusion.

Some few days before Christmas he came to one Mr. Cullens a Baker in the Strand to seek him a Lodging, his Habit but indifferent, and his Stock not above Two Shillings, pretending himself to be a Person of Worth and Honour, viz. Humphrey Wickham of Swaclift in the County of Oxon Esq; a Person whose Name and Reputation was well known to Mrs. Cullen, being Born not far from him, which contributed much to the swallowing of the Imposture. His pretence for leaving his Family in the Countrey, and living here Incognito was occasion'd (he said) to avoid the payment of 500l. which he stood engaged for, and for which the principal had left him in the lurch; and which he had made a rash Vow he would not pay.
