Corpus of Modern Scottish Writing (CMSW) - www.scottishcorpus.ac.uk/cmsw/ Document : 589 Title: Draft of Advertisement, No. 45 Author(s): Woodburn, David Advertisement No. 45 Be it known to all honest men & bonny Laſses that the word Scarlet when it is given as a sentiment (which is often done in a Company of College-Gentlemen) no longer repreſents any other word beginning with a C. & ending with a T., as the word Claret for example, neither does it mean the Whore of Babylon nor the Military nor the Maiden-head; neither does it signify a leſson which is partly white and [Paſsionately] Black without the smallest resemblance to red, but henceforth and forever shall signify a Cox-comb, and every man however ſober may drink to the future with a clean Conscience, even a tutor without being guilty of henpecking his Superior Tutors who also may happen to be a man of Italic Paſsions xxx Beware of the man says honest & other hearted Malbranche, who blackens o'er his [¿] and grows pale in his paſsions, is the Moral of this Advertisment.
