Divertisements.

1. IF there be any Man, Woman, or Child, in Town, or Country, that can furnish a considerable quantity of good substantial Statutable Bawdery, let them repair with it to the sign of the Kings Whisperer, and they shall be well paid for their pains, the Master and Mistress of the house, being upon a Collecti∣on of Curiosities of that kind, which they intend to publish with Aretines Cutts, and their own Notes upon them, for the Edifica∣tion of both Sexes.

2. There is now ready for the Press, an Excellent Piece, call'd, The Memoirs of Grim the Collier of Croydon, and Dame Gillian his Spouse, with Instructions how a man may thrive in the world, without either Brains, or Honesty; being of singular use, for Buf∣foons, Pimps, and Parish-Children.

3. Lost betwixt Tarts Coffee house, and Parliament Stairs, out of a Calves-Leather-Case, a very fair, Large Conscience, ready harden'd, and fit for Use; together with Bills of Accompts, and two Apologys, one for Judas, and another for the seaven deadly sins, clearly proving that the Devil is not so black as they paint him, with a Receipt to turn Hob-nails into Guinnyes. Whosoever has found them, and will deliver them to the true Owner, in the Christ-Cross-Row, shall have a good reward.

4. The Dr. that makes the rare Varnish for keeping people in countenance in the cases of Swearing, Lying & Stealing without the common helps of Pillory or Carting, so that they shall out-face a Court of Justice, and ne∣ver change colour for't, does now stand fair for Professor to the Societies of Newgate and the Gatehouse, & is to be spoke with, from 8 to 12. in the Morning, at the Graceless Babe; & from 2 to 7 in the Afternoon, at the sign of the Cloake-Carrier. At other times he may be heard of at the Virginia in Black-Fryers.
