 A GROAT'S WORTH OT WIT

FOR

A PENNY.

Signs of love and speedy marriage, or the contrary, by ſeeing or meeting divers forts of creatures, the firſt thing in a morning.

THESE ſigns of love and marriage have been greatly taken notice of in their exact ſucceeding, according to the parties deſire, and therefore the following, viz. 1. For a woman to have the firſt and laſt letters of her chriſtian name, the fame with the man's ſurname, that makes love to her, denotes a happy union and a generous lover. 2. For the man to have the firſt and last letters of his chriſtian name with the woman's ſurname denotes the ſame. 3 To think on a perſon upon ſudden waking (without any meditation) on a Friday morning, that before had a place in the affec- tons of men or women, is a demonſtration of love or extraordinary friendſhip.
