THat the said Mr Christopher Monk became acquainted with Sarah his Wife about Christmass last past , and after six Weeks acquaintance , and earnest Courtship by him made to the said Sarah , his now Wife , he at the last obtained her Affections , and her Consent to marry him , and thereupon requested her Father's Consent , that he might have the said Sarah to be his Wife , who obtained the same ; whereupon the said Mr Monk appointed and fixed the Marriage-day to be upon Shrove-Tuesday last , and desired Mr Hungerford , her Father , to bring his Daughter , and meet him at the Three-Tun-Tavern , near Grayes-Inn in Holborn ; which the said Mr. Hungerford did , being accompained with his Wife and two Friends ; and the said Mr Monk came accordingly , and no way disordered by Drink , or otherwise , from whence they all went together : And the said Mr Monk , and Sarah his Wife , were legally Married and Bedded before credible Witnesses , and have co-habited and bedded together several Nights since .

That neither at the time of the Marriage , or at any time since , hath the said Mr Hungerford , or the said Sarah been satisfied of any Estate whatsoever , that the said Mr Monk was then possessed of , or likely so to be , otherwise than by common Fame and his own Discourses , having never seen , or credibly been informed of any Estate left him by the late Right Noble the Duke of Albemarle , or any other Person whatsoever .

That at the time of the Marriage , the said Mr Monk did declare , he was near Sixteen Years of Age ; and being requested by Mr Callender to acquaint his Friends with the said intended Marriage , made this reply , That let who would or could oppose his said Marriage , with the said Sarah his now Wife , he was resolved to Consumate the same .

That the said Mr Hungerford never invited the said Mr Monk before the said Marriage to his House , nor ordered any body else so to do . And that since the said Marriage , the said Mr Hungerford hath furnished the said Mr Monk with several sums of Money to buy him Necessaries , he wanting the same . And that several Times since his Marriage , and in several Companies , he hath declared himself to be well Contented with his said Marriage .

That Mr Hungerford's Wife never personated before , at , or after the Marriage , or pretended to any person whatsoever to be Mr. Monk's Mother , and is only Mother-in-Law to Mr Monk's now Wife .

That Mr Matthew Hungerford is a Gentleman , being a Branch of the Antient Family of the Hungerfords , and the next Brother unto Edmund Hungerford of Chisbury , in the County of Wilts Esq and never was any Pastry-Cook , but a Merchant , and a considerable Dealer for above twenty Years , as by the Custom-House Books may appear .
