A CATALOGUE of the BOWES, OF The Town, or the Hunters after Fortunes to be set by AUCTION.
Catalogues will be distributed by the Sentries of the Park, &c.

ADVERTISEMENT.

ON Tuesday the 14 of this Instant July, will be expos'd to Sale in the Play­House pitt, in Bridges-street, a Choice Collection of Bowes, who have a mind to dispose of themselves to the Ladies that bid most, their Estates as well reall as per­sonal, being worth from 500 l. to 2000 l. a Year; They may be view'd by any Lady in S. James's or Hide-Park, between the hours of six and nine in the evening.

All Ladies that will be accepted must subscribe to these Conditions, and give Bonds with Judgement for performance. First, That she be contented with the Peticoat, and not desire to wear the Britches. 2ly. That she never indict the Man in Venus's Court for Matrimonial omission, nor ever complain thereof to her Goshops, 3ly. That she never present him with the Horns. 4ly. That she never ingage him in a Tongue­battle.

If any Lady object that these Conditions are too Strict, and say, it is impossible to keep a Cat from playing with her Taile: To satisfy such, I will in the next procure a Catalogue, of some good natur'd Men, that will allow them liberty of Conscience.

The CATALOGUE.
