Description

Drop-head title, 8vo, 8pp., disbound. ìMultitudes, for 25 Years last past, have been prosecuted, and punished according to Law, for lewd and scandalous Practices. Great Numbers of Bawdy-Houses, have been, and other disorderly Houses, have been suppressed and shut up, and the streets were very much purged from the wretched Tribe of Night-walking Prostitutes, and most detestable Sodomites. Many young Men, taken with lewd Women, have, by their being brought to timely Shame and Punishment, been discouraged and turned (as we have reason to hope) from following such sinful Courses, which often cause them to defraud their Parents, Masters, &c,. and bring themselves to utter Ruine.î The ESTC locates copies at the Bodleian Library and New York Public Library.
