Q. How often do you call your family to prayers?

A. I never call my family to prayers, but I ſend then to church ſometimes; and that is, when I am about to cuckold my huſband at home, that I may do it in private; and my ſervants are glad of the opportunity. But if they never go near the church, I am pleaſed with any excuſe, and don't care where they go.

Q. Pray how do you pay your debts?

A. Some with money, and ſome with fair promiſes. I ſeldom pay any body's bills, but I run more in their debt. I give poor tradeſmen ill words, and the rich I treat civily, in hopes to get farther into their debt.
