_Burnet,_ speaking of the King's attachment to Nell Gwyn, says:--But after all he never treated her with the _decencies_ of a mistress .-- _Swift._ Pray what _decencies_ are those?
Ibid.

_Burnet._ The King had another mistress, that was managed by Lord Shaftesbury, who was the daughter of a clergyman, Roberts, in whom her first education had so deep a root, that, though she fell into many scandalous disorders, with very dismal adventures in them all, yet a principle of religion was so deep laid in her, that, though it did not restrain her, yet it kept alive in her such a constant horror at sin, that she was never easy in an ill course, and died with a great sense of her former ill life.

I was _often with her_ the last three months of her life .-- _Swift_.

Was she handsome then?
P.264._Burnet_.

The King loved his [the Earl of Rochester's] company for the diversion it afforded, better than his person: And there was no love lost between them .-- _Swift_.
