Of Kynchen Coes.

KYnchen Coes are little children whose Parent are dead, having been Beggars or else young Boys, such as have ran away from their Master, and instead of a Trade to live by, follow this hind of life to be lowsie by. The first thing these Kyn∣chens are taught is Canting, then Thieving, and at last Hanging. But before they come to take the heighth oe Tyburn, where the Pole is elevated so many degrees, they sail many times along while in the troubled Ocean of sad disasters, wherein they meet with nothing but Sorms and Tempests, raised by the Hurricans of their own irregular actions; sometimes ready to fouader in the large and dangerous Sea of Paddington, and continu∣ally ready to split against the dreadful Rocks of Newgate, or Bridewell.

The Female and antient Professors of the Art of Canting, were ranked under these seven heads;

• ...Glymmerers.
• ...Bawdy-Baskets.
• ...Autem-Morts.
• ...Strowling Morts.
• ...Doxies.
• ...Dells.
• ...Kynchin-Morts.
