THE CASE OF Sarah Monk, The Wife of Mr Christopher Monk, in Answer to a Paper, touching their Marriage; the Truth whereof is as followeth;  
THat the said Mr Christopher Monk became acquainted with Sarah his Wife about Christmas last passed, 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 accompanied 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 Consummate 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 Ancient Family of the hungerford's, 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 Customhouse Books may appear.
