Example text

56 In another Westminster case, in 1620, the woman emphasized that before being ‘drawen into follie’ she had ‘behaved her selfe in verie civell & honest manner’, having first been apprenticed for six years and then in service with a doctor of the High Commission for a further seven. A gentleman had seduced her with ‘deepe vowes & p[ro]testac[i]ons of mariage’, but had now left her destitute ‘contrarie to all humane honestie’. As a woman in ‘distressed estate’, ‘much wronged & not able to speake in her owne behalfe, and her friend[es] not willing to bee seene therin, but herevpon all forsaking her, and shee ashamed to acquaynte others therew[i]th’, she sought the assistance of the court.
