Wherewith he undertaketh to grind all sorts of women, as the old, decreped, wrinkled, blear-ey'd, long-nosed, blind, lame, scolds, jealous, angry, poor, drunkerds whores, sluts; or all others whatsoever. They shall come out of his mill, young, active, pleasant, handsome, wise, loving, vertuous and rich; without any deformity, and just suteable to their hunbands humours. The rich for money, and the poor for nothing. Composed dialogue wise, for the recreation of all those that are inclined to be merry, and may serve to pass away an hour in a cold winter night (without any great offence) by a good fire side.		1672 (1672)	Wing M1863; ESTC R217816	5,738	18
