THE Lawyer's Clerk Out-witted. OR, A true Relation of the whole Life of Mary Mauders a Fiddler's Daughter in the City of CANTERBURY.  
TO tell you all the pranks performed by this piece of impudence, were too much to be contained in one sheet; but I shall give you an epitome of her Life and actions as follows, viz.  
Her birth and education was in Canterbury, her parents mean people, her own Father being a Fiddler, named Thomas Mauders.  
Her Father in Law is by name Mr. Ford, and is also of the same profession, but keeps an Inn in Canterbury. She was formerly for a cheat committed to Newgate, where she had a homely black jade attended her as a Maid servant, the fact she then committed was thus. She coming to London with her maid waiting on her, pretended to be a Lady of a great estate, and that she had store of money coming up by the Carrier, which her made so cunningly averred, that for Wine and other dainties she ran threescore pound in the Vintner's debt, for which she was committed, and being at liberty she followed picking of pockets, whoring and thieving; this was the life of this gallant Lady.  
She also was well provided for Husbands having one a Fiddler at Dover, the other a Shoe maker living in the City of Canterbury.  
About two Months since, coming to London, she fell into the company of a French Merchant, to whom she declared the greatness of her Birth and Parentage, and of the great estate she should receive from the Lord ne'er father.  
This declaration of her Ladyship seconded by her waiting, maid, took so much with monsieur that he furnished her fingers with gold Rings,  and necessaries to a great value, and expecting the coming of her riches married her, but at last discovering he was cheated, he appointed her to go to Deal to a vessel he named (intending to sell her, and send her to the Barbadoss) she went on her journey, he promising to come after her and to go with her.  
In her journey coming to Gravesend, she went to an Inn, where a Kentish. Lord was drinking, who enquiring what she was, by her deportment supposed her to he some great Lady, which she sufficiently made out, so that he kindly welcomed her in his company; but afterwards repenced his bargain and would have given 5 pound to any one that should g●ve him notice where she was; for when she was gone he found that she had taken his Watch and money to bear her company in her journey.  
From thence she came next to Canterbury and persuaded her sister Joan Mauders to attend her as he● maid to the Ship, which to credit her sister she willingly performed; but when she came aboard, and understood the Vessel was bound for the Barbadoss, she sent to Dover Castle to the Fiddler her Husband, who was a Soldier there, and desired him to fetch her off.  
Her Husband hearing of her riches in Rings and Jewels embraced that opportunity, and went with a File of Soldiers to demand her (intending to get the riches and be divorced from her) but was denied her by the owne● of the Ship.  
Hereupon he went back, got a Note fro● the Castle, and came again to demand her; they not da●ing to deny the writing, stripped of her rich , and took away her rings and Jewels and turned her and her Sister ashore, so that the poor man her Husband was not a penny the better, but yet gave her no entertainment, so that she and Joan were forced in a poor Condition to return to Canterbury.  
Now to come to this last and grand cheat; after she had a little ●ec●uted herself, and was in some handsome apparel, she came to London, and took her lodging at the Exchange Tavern near the Stocks, where she met with a Lawyer's Clerk who she so sweetened on, that he soon became a suitor to her, she telling him of her Birth and Pa●rentage.  
First she acquainted him that her name was Henretta Mar●a Devulva, Daughter to a great Prince in Germany, and that w●●n she was two years old, she was put in a Nunnery, where she remained till now that she made her happy escape, where she had left as many  as was worth 3000 pound.  
Thence she came to her own Country in Germany, and some of the Princes there would have persuaded her to marry an Old Man, which she would not do, lest her Estate (if she died without Issue) should go to the Nunnery; from whence (to prevent all danger) she came over into this Country, and had in her keeping as many Jewels as were judged by a Goldsmith (whom they sent for) to be worth three thousand pound.  
She also told him, that she had a Coach and six Flanders Mares coming over, with store of Money, her Estate being ten or twelve thousand pounds per annum; and the better to carry on her design, she said she had a Steward in Germany to whom she framed a Letter which was sent by the Post, and an answer returned to this effect, viz  
Madam, The money you sent for is not yet ready, but I have gathered three thousand pound which shall come by the next Ship, and also your Coach and six Horses with it, which made the story so plain, as many wise heads (besides the freshwater Lad) believed it to be truth.  
Hereupon his friends made up the match, and upon Easter day their Nuptial was solemnised of this young Lord and Lady; for which purpose a Gown was bought her of fifty five pound besides other Necessaries, the young Lord having his Lackey to wait on him, all things being performed in a noble manner, to the admiration of all his old acquaintance.  
The Wedding being done, they provided Coaches for their friends and went to Barnet, where they continued making merry till Tuesday following; where they spent in so high a nature as some will repent their acquaintance with this new Germany Lady, who spoke Dutch so exactly that she deceived many, and but little English and that in such a broken manner as they could hardly understand her  
Tuesday she came back, the young Lord would have had her go to Court because she pretended to have great friends there, but she refused that proposition till her own Coach and Horses came.  
Her deportment was very noble, and her heart open, for passing by Newgate (the old Castle of her safety) she gave her Lackey half a Crown to put in the Prisoner's bag.  
Since this, one Clerk a Porter (who plies at Warwick-Lane-end) carried her a Letter, with which she gave order he should come up to her bedchamber, where she asked what he would have for the Letter, he desired eight pence, she told him that was too little, and gave him a shilling, and asked him to drink her Lord's health, which he accepted of, upon which she called for a bottle of Sack, and after he had drank that, made him drink her health till the bottle was out, and the poor Porter went reeling home.  
The Nuptial being past, and all things concluded, she was designed to make up her pack and begun; but a Shooe-make coming in, who had formerly wrought with her Husband i● Canter●u●y, seeing her, said to some of the House she was a Whore, they replied he had best have a care what he said, for she was a person of Honour, but he still persisted and ●a●d she was a Whore, and he'd prove her a Whore, with which b●●ng brought to the room, he looked in her face and said she was the same person he took her for, and that he wrought with her Husband who was a Shoemaker in Canterbury, and that she had another a Fiddler, who is a Soldier in Dover Castle.  
Hereupon she was carried before a justice and examined, and her jewels and Rings were all found Counterfeit, upon which she was committed to the Gatehouse, from whence (if be first Husband appear, she will be transported to her old quarters at Newgate, and finish her course at Paddington▪ if she do not Cheat Squire Dun of his Right and Title, which is a just Doom for all such Impudent pieces of Iniquity.
