T O Whitlocke Bulstrode, Esq;
We the High Constables and Petty Constables within the several Hundreds of the County of Middlesex, being duly sensible of the great growth of Immorality and Profafehess within our several Districts or Divisions; And knowing that, with the Divine Assistance, nothing can put a Stop to the further Progress thereof more, than the Zeal and Vigilance of the Worthy magistrates and other Inferiour Officers, in putting the Laws in execution agaisnt such Offenders; Do make it our humble Request to Your Worship, That you would be pleas'd to cause the Excellent CHARGE, given us this Day, to be Printed: Which [* 1] we hope may tend to the Encouragement of Inferiour Officers to do their Duty, and be a great Means to prevent growing Impiety.
page 164 note 1 This is to be found as a leit-motiv in criminal biographies, so numerous at the time; cf, e.g., Defoe's A Narrative of all the Robberies, &c. of J. Sheppard, 1724Google Scholar, ed. G. Lamoine (Plan de la Tour: Editions d'Aujourd'hui, 1980), p. 6, where he mentions his “frequenting of this wicked house [in Drury-Lane] brought me acquainted with Elizabeth Lyons, and with a Train of Vices…”

page 164 note 3 = The detestable crime which is to remain unnamed among Christians nations.

page 167 note 1 Whitlocke's Latin is obviously better than his French. ‘Paillard’ is originally one whose only bedding was straw; the imperative should be, in the 2nd person singular, * tu ne paillarderas point”.
page 167 note 3 Erasmus, indeed, has render'd GUNH, Uxor; Quiculque aspexerit Uxorem alterius ad concufiscendam earn, &c. But the Annotator on the Old and New Version prefers Mulier to Uxor, Sic Rectius (inquit) Vetus interpres quam Erasmus, Qui Uxorem interpretatur, &c. Neque duntaxat dictum velit Christus, adulterim etiam Oculis committi, sed aliquid amplius; Nempe omnem libidinosum, asectul cocuspicentis Mulierem, sive nuptam, sive inuptam, hoc prœcepto prohibere, &c.
