6. The last of this _Ragged Regiment_ are called _Bawdy Baskets_, which are women that walk with Baskets or Cap-cases on their arms, wherein they have pinns, points, needles, and such like things to sell, going thus from house to house, to sell their ware; buy _Cunny-skins_, and steal what they can lay their hands on, driving three trades at once. They are very fair spoken, and will seldome swear whilest they are selling their wares, but will lie with any man that hath a minde to them. The _Upright-men_ and these are in perfect league and amity one with another. * * * * * Thus have I briefly dissected to you this knot of _Vipers_, who may very fitly be termed the _Devils black Guard_. Whose whole life consisteth of a continued act of all impiety, no sin within their verge but is frequently committed amongst them, especially that sin of leachery; to which end you shall find sometimes together in a Barn forty of these _Uprightmen_, _Rufflers_, _Clapperdugeons_, _&c._ ingendring _Beggars_ with their _Morts_. Adultery they boast of, Incest they laugh at, Sodomy they Jest at, being all of the Family of _Love_ or Lust rather, rope ripe, Nuts for the Devils cracking, and fit fuel for firing for his Kitchen. But I have dwelt too long upon this filthy subject, I shall only give you a brief Character of a _Canting Rogue_, and so return to the progress of my own life. He should seem by his rambling minde to be begot by some Intelligencer under a hedge, for he is wholly addicted to travel, and hath one especial priviledge above most Travellers, that he is never out of the way. He is not troubled with making of Joyntures; he can divorce himself without the Fee of a _Proctor_, nor fears he the cruelty of Overseers of his Will; for there is small danger of his Children being cheated of their Estates, by which means he makes not work for the Lawyers after his decease. He leaves his Children all the world to _Cant_ in, and all the people to be their fathers to provide for them. His language is always one and the same; the Northern speech differs from the South, Welsh from the Cornish, but _Canting_ is general, nor ever could be altered by Conquest of the _Saxon_, _Dane_, or _Norman_. He will not beg out of the limit prescribed him by the _Upright-man_, though he starve; nor falsifie his oath, if he swear by his _Solomon_ (which is the _Mass_) though you hang him; and to show himself a true subject of their Common-wealth, he pays his custom as truly to his Grand Rogue, as tribute is paid to the Great Turk.
