First sentence: Roger a young Gentleman being passionately in love with Katherine a Virgin of admirable beauty, but so extreamly simple, having always been brought up under the rigid Government of her Mother, who was Wife of a Substantial Citizen, that all his perswasions could do no good on her, by reason she understood not any thing that appertained to love, he therefore by force of presents and other allurements gains a Kins-Woman of hers named Frances to his Party, and she having promised Roger to sollicite Katherine, in his behalf makes her a visit.
