AS We have lately given you the famous Narrative of a short but Renown●d Westminster-Wedding , and recounted the Prodigious Feats of Chivalry , perfor●ed by a certain Knight-Templer , upon the Body of a Fleet-street Lady ; so , to prosecute this Noble History , No sooner this Renown rung through the Town , but a Congratulatory Address from the whole Body of those Matronly Ladies , fair Venus'es Court of Assistants , was handed up by the Venerable Madam Crom — l , their Chair-woman , and subscribed by the Executrices of Bennet , Gifford , Crefwel , &c. not only setting forth the Generosity of the Knight , in so hospitable a Reception of the Straggling Damsel ; but more particularly Her own resounding Glory in so Illustrious a Production ; as , having little less than retrieved the whole lost Honour of her Function : For as generally those softer Feminine Rovers that ( as Io says in his Proloage ) manage an hundred Shuttles in one Loom , those fair Latitudinarians in Love ( tho otherwise naturally p●rhaps of a Pregnant and Fertile Con●t●tution ; yet , what with too many Pl●ughs to turn up their Glebe , whilst one Roots up the Tilth of the other ) prove comonly but a Barren sort of Soyl , insomuch that , like the famous Doll to the Troop , they seldom arrive to any Product above a Cushion ▪ However this particular Sister of the Family of Love , on the Contrary , had Buoy'd up the sinking Reputation of the whole Tribe in so healthy and lumping a Brace of Bantlings , in spight of her hundred several H●mmers and Moulds in her Mint , yet stamp'd with so fair an Impression .

Amongst the rest poor Mrs. Stratford , the late Pillory'd Matron , joyn'd in the Congratulation , only with one additional Line or two of Condolence , heartily wishing that her Fo●ntain-Tavern Damse● had been but of half this tender Kidney : For then Warm-Love instead of Lighted-Candles might have done the Gentler Execution , and sav'd her the hard Pennance of her Wooden-Ruff , and the rest of her doleful Mortyfications of Concupisence , &c.

But as our Temple Knight has performed such brisk Father-work , and made such hopeful Nurse work , so ' it s now high time for him to think of the Christening-work too : For 't is not sufficient that the Young Bantlings are Born within the Verge of the Temple , but they must be brought into the Pale of the Church . And accordingly , for all due Preparations for tha Solemnity , 't was advised , by way of Splendour and Magnificence , to perform these last great Rites on no less than the Memorable 10th . of June , the famous Birth-day of &c. that so by joyning two such Important Festivals , viz that Anniversary , and this Gossi●ing ; the same Bo●●fires and I●luminations might Celebrate and Illustrate both together , and so make a more than ordinary Triumph . Besides as were excused the Charges of Midwifery , 't is resolved , That what we saved in the Groaning preparations , shall be doubled i th' Gossiping Ent●rtainment .

The Godfathers were Men of Rank and Character and no less than very Eminent . Minstrels and Tembrels , Flutes , Haut-boys and Trumpets , were provided on this Account , Musick both Civil and Military , all Joy and Jollity to fill up the Chorus and crown the Feast .

To match our Godfathers , the Gossips were suitably chosen , being a Brace and a half of kind Titts , those very civil good natured Pa●tners that the Celebrating of one Christening , like true Friends to the B●d straw would not be wanting to lay a Foundation for another , being those Gay , Brisk , Dancing Girl as could cut Capers to every Tune of Posture Moll .

The Partners thus fixt , they , and their Retinue , all took Coach from the Dog-Tavern in Drury Lane , ( the Hospitable Roof appointed for the Festiva ) for Pancras-Church , that famous Mother of Paul's , being particularly selected for this Occasion ; as being a kind of a Libertine Temple , where , like the Old A●k , the Licensed or Unlicensed Turtle Mates , the Clean , or Unclean enter in Pairs . As they marched on , the Coaches were ordered to move very gently , for this Politick Reason , viz. That if the Remembrance of the brisk Lady in Straw should chance to stir up any warm Thoughts in any of the ●ind Pairs , amongst this good Company , to take a Pattern from the fair Copy , the Bouncing Young Sucklings before them , it was but drawing up the Coach Windows and falling on after the Mothers own Sample : For if the Coach drove softly , and not jolted too hard , they might mount sa●e and ride on secure , without fear of being shockt out of the Saddle .

After the Sprinkling Church-Ceremonies were done , the whole Cavalcade returned to the Dog , there to finish the remaining Tavern Rites , where the Juice of the Grape , that precious Heavenly Dew , went plentifully round , not a little Consecrated by many a Sanctifying Health as not forgetting the great double Work of the Day . In short , the Gossips were so Blith and Jolly , and the whole Company so Lovingly Sociable , that in some few Months you may expect to hear of some New Temple Work Midwifery as the second part to this Galloping Tune .
