Newes from the New EXCHANGE OR THE COMMONVVEALTH OF LADIES Drawn to the Life in their severall Characters and Concernments Martialis lib. 4. Epig. 71. Quaero diu totam gressus agitando per urbem Si qua puella negat nulla puella negat Tamquàm fas non sit tamquam sit turpe negare Tanquàm non liceat nulla puella negat Casta igitur nulla est castae sunt mille Quid ergo Casta facit non dat non tamen illa negat Ovidius Casta est quam nemo rogavit London Printed in the year of Women without Grace 1650. Newes from the New-EXCHANGE or the Commonwealth of Ladies drawn to the Life in their severall Characters and Concernments THere was a time in England when men wore the Breeches and debar'd women of their Liberty which brought many grievances and oppressions upon the weaker vessels for they were constrained to converse only with their homes and closets and now and then with the Gentleman-usher or the Foot-man when th●y could catch him for variety So that in th●se dayes there was no such thing as the SERVANT the FRIEND or the INTIMATE in ordinary nor durst they be acquainted with the mode of Drinke Dice and Tobacco nor role and convert their smoks into Colanders to strain healths of Sack into Beer-glasses and take them off astride upon mens shoulders In consideration whereof and divers other inconveniences by the tyranny of men the Ladies Rampant of the times in their last Parliament knowing themselves to be a part of the free people of this Nation unanimously resolved to assert their own freedoms and casting off the intolerable yoke of their Lords and Husbands have voted themselves the Supreme Authority both at home and abroad and setled themselves in the posture of a Free-State as may appeare by their Practices In the first place for the well ordering of their Militia they have listed themselves under the conduct of the Right Honorable the Countesse of Kent and the old Countesse of Exceter who ought to lead the Van being experienced Souldiers that have passed through all Offices in Venus Warrs from a Corporall to a Colonell These two are the only pillars of Nobility and Hospitality who to breed up the young Fry in the Misteries of the Sexe have erected an Academy which is opened every Sunday night at the Countesse of Kent's and every Thursday at my Lady of Exceter's There Suppers are reckoned most convenient because the Bed follows and it is judged the best way of disgestion after the Lectures they never being upon any other Subject but WHO with WHO Mistresses and Servants and the Act of well-doing which must needs breake the Academy of well speaking and soon make the Italian Knight lose all his Custome for going the wrong way to worke with our English Ladies And if he dare dispute the matter wee will refer it to my Lady Carlisle This is a Lady indeed that seven years since took saile with Presbytery being charged in the Fore-deck by Master Hollis in the Poop by Master Pym whilst she clapt my Lord of Holland under hatches And this was a lucky Supply at that time because Toby Matthewes and Wat. Mountague were both fled for Religion About 3 years since being weary with that faction she revived a correspondence upon the Royall accompt among the rest with divers foreine Ambassadors especially Mons Believerey till she was put in the Tower where she now pines away for want of fresh-Cod and knoweth not which way to lead her Nags to water since the State hath cut off all her pipes of intelligence After her comes the old Lady Peterburgh who would faine be yong A Presbyterian Lady too that casts a fad looke with her eies for the downfall of her Faction and sings the lamentation of a sinner for the losse of Mr. Hollis but above all for the Irreparable losse she had in Tom. Gell when my Lady Rutland got him from her 'T were pitty my old Lady Devonshire and these two should be parted for the Presbyterie was setled first in her house by the Scots Commissioners where my L. Louden Lauderdale and Dumferling were clapt in her hole of Repentante to forward the work of Reformation And now we talk of Reformation God help my Lady Salisbury whose Sinnes are as big as her Body and whose faults are better known at home than abroad since the death of the old Duke of Buckingham and my Lord of Holland A very charitable Mother she is to all her Children but especially to her daughter my Lady Sands having helpt her to a Touch with her Son in Law my Lord Lisle though my Lord of Salisbury himself like a crosse Father * My Ladie Sands was warming her Brother Lisles drawers by the fire Side came in and took her airing his Drawers This Lady Sands continues her Clack going ever since to draw grists to the Mill and is at this time one of the greatest Coursers upon the New Exchange She out-drinks a Dutch man outvies a Courtesan and is good at all Games but loves none like In and In and sometimes she is for Possage In league with her are all the Hat-and-feather-Gallants the feather being the proper Hieroglyphick of her Condition and the Badge of her faction As for her good Sister the yong Lady Devonshire She hath been a very sad woman ever since the death of my Lord Iohn but since that She hath been rid of her Qualm by Tom Killegrew who is now gon Ambassador from Iersey into Italy on purpose to fetch her a Musk-cod to perfect the Cure This Family is both large and godly and therefore we must not forget my Lady Cranborn who lives in a Scotish mist betwixt light and darknesse so that groping often for Truth She now and then layes hold upon the Preacher and puts him beside the Text in an error She playes above-board with Mr. Sackvile under-board with Mr. Sterry and severall other Captains that usually preach before her and the Councell of State She hath preferred one Lee Lecturer at St. Martin's to read lectures on Sunday nights to the whole Family concerning due Benevolence which gave occasion to Mistris Peele an Intimate of theirs to commend his doctrine above all others And now nor forgetting an over-thwart neighbor of theirs we must think of my Lady Forster an old Mistresse and a yong Saint one whose proportion puts us in mind of her Excellencies and he that meanes to board her must put off his doublet and swim it being of the same size with a Fish-Pond yet it is ten to one if he scape sinking since she is somewhat of kin to Goodwin Sands having swallowed up many Families many Blew Garters Georges Earls and Baronies innumerable Among them as the latest though of a long continuance is the Lord Willoughby of Parham who hath now taken a journey to the Barbado's and means to pipe her one way since he cannot another In Order whereunto he hath provided her a

whole plantation of Tobacco it being her proper Element so that since my Lord finds Smoak Sir Humphry may in time have Bacon I would have this Lady well preferr'd in the Commonwealth she being now a great Retailer of Courtesies And truly her Daughter my Lady Prat for ought I see is resolved to keep up the Trade having an Husband for the purpose This is that doughty Knight Sir George Prat once celebrated in Comedy and pawned upon the Stage as well as at the Tavern in a Ioynt-Stool for a Reckoning Hee Sir Samuel Luke Ieffery and little Trott may help to make up the Nine Worthies amoug the Pigmies and might passe for rare Champions in America to erect a new Common wealtb among the Monkies Indeed take Sir George hornes and all and he is a very formidable Monster so that 't is no wonder if his Lady be reprehended by her Mother for being Bull'd by an Urchin She is a great wit and playes with an old Sophister Dr. Smell-smock alias Mr. Osbaston who jerks her both behind and before therefore Mr. Lenthall though he have playd Truant a great while may the rather scape a whipping Come take your Turn Mrs. Gamlyn for you have had many a one by that excellent Squire of the Body yong Lenthall who hath the art to love if the Women love him They say Northamptoc makes love one hour to you and he beats the brains of it out in a quarter This Gentleman broaches maxims very dangerous to the Common-wealth of Women viz. That there is no woman honest That women would become unnecessary in the world if that damnable principle of honesty should be professed That originally there was no such quality as honesty only it was insinuated by the perswasions of the first mother to keep women from being debauched in their nurses arms All which hath been applauded and seal'd to by the same Gentleman over and over Now as a brave * Supposed a Hetmaphrodite Woman-man-of-mettle heigh for my Lady Hungerford Since Sir Edward is in Heaven the fittest mate for her upon Earth must needs be Annis-water Robbin For they may fit one another by turns and be beholding to no body This Lady over-rid and excarnated no lesse than three of her women in her husbands life-time and hath left no part of foure Gentlemen-ushers visible in the world but their periwigs but the fifth scapes yet and may perhaps for a twelve-month Room next for my Lady Kingsmell who having been lately in France hath brought over some Italian tricks with her The only wit in that house is new lechery and her Daughter is vostre Serviteur The Mother should have been married to my Lord of Norwich at his coming out of prison but that of late he is become as dry as his jests and the talke of the town diverted the humor But my Lady Rutland God wot is a more resolute Lover for now that her Lord is out of Town nothing can stave her off from Tom. Gell. This fellow the world suspected to be Eunuch to my Lord of Newcastle but now she commends him for the swetest man in the world though of late she hath a great stroke too with Harry Martyn And now we talk of a stroak I can tell you of a notable Striker one Mrs. Luson who hath blowne up and broke so many French Dutch and Spanish Merchants that none of late durst deal with her but Hugh Peters who I hear hath pawned halfe the fleet at Milford-haven to provide her a new yeares gift and this in imitation of his Masters at Westminster who ever put the Charges of their Lechery upon the accompts of the Publique This policy of Hugh Peters puts us in mind of godly Gravener he that is Commissary to my Lady Fairfax who hath pawned his Commission for another couple of Flanders horses to make sure of Mistris Luson And she I think hath paid him pretty well for the poor Gent. hath spit himselfe into a Night cap and the next Remove may be into a Coffin If ever the new Common weal be routed it must be by this Lady for put a little Gunpowder to her Mercury and you may soon blow up my Lord Bradshaw He they say hath audited her Phisicke Bill and the Councell of State finds many faults in it As Inprimis one purge for a clap she had from Sir Harry Mildmay which was much invenom'd by one he caught the morning before from Besse the Begger wench Item a Plaister for the swelling in her Groin that Mr. Marten gave her from a Shanker of his which he caught from the Wench he stole from his Brother-Member Sir Roger North.
