44 History 
pure Companion to the Num- 
bers of Poor Labouring Men, 
Women, and Children iri Eng- 
land, half ftarv’d, vifible in their 
meagre looks, that are continual- 
ly wandering up and down 
looking for Employment with- 
out finding any, who here need 
not lie idle a moment, nor want 
due Encouragement or Reward 
for their Work, much lefs Va- 
gabond or Drone it about. Here 
are no Beggars to be feen (it is 
a Shame and Difgrace to the 
State that there are fo many in 
England) nor indeed have any 
here the lead Occafion or Temp- 
tation to take up that Scandalous 
Lazy Life. 
Jealoufie among Men is here 
very rare, and Barrennefs among 
Women hardly to be heard of, 
nor are old Maids to be met 
with ; for all commonly Marry 
before they are Twenty Years 
of Age, and feldom any young 
Married
