Bearded Sex
Yet cannot the Bearded sex, though pretending to a stronger reason, justle on this unhappy President upbraid the Weaker Vessels, or tax them with this dishonor, for the very nezt Arraignment was of a fellow for Buggery of a Mare : The Evidence against him testified that they saw him in the feilds beyond Shoreditch on Sunday the 17th of June amongst the Bricke-kilns drive a white Mare to a small Heap of Bricks, which he had laid together, and there use most unnatural and brutish Endeavours several times, and after that to another Bay Mare, But being near Threescore yards distant, they could not make that direct and possitive Proof which the Law exacts, so that he was acquitted on that Indictment. At the Bar he behaved himself as one Insensible scarce speaking a word for himself, Save only that he did no harm, He confessed he lately came out of Kent, To seek as he said for work, and within 3 or 4 days
See original after his comeing up was apprehended in this beastly Action.
