A brief Description of the sport of Cross Purposes.
EVery one round the Company are to whisper their Questions about, which are to be conceal'd, till e∣very Question is gone round, and afterwards every man is to tell aloud what question he was askt, and what answer was given him to his question; it may be in more, but I will only for brevity give you a plain example in three Persons; The first was askt in secret of all complexions, which he lik't best, the answer was whispered a black Wo∣man; the second was ask't in secret, how many women he had lain withall in his life, to which he whispered, as many as he had fingers and toes; the third was secretly ask't, what kind of pleasure he found in lying with a woman, to which he whispered this answer, pretty pleasant encounters; Now for the publishing of this sport, it must be thus man∣naged, the first was ask't what complexion he lik't best in a woman, the cross answer to his purpose was, as many as he had fingers and toes, the second was ask't, how many women he had lain with, the cross answer was pretty plea∣sant encounters; the third was ask't, what kind of pleasure he found in lying with a woman, the cross answer was a black woman, and so it goes circling round according to the number of the Persons.
