Honesty in distress, but reliev'd by no party [electronic resource] : Giving an account how she went to court but was scorn'd & slighted; next she went to Westminster-hall, which set the lawyers in an uproar; then she went to the city making her complaint to the linen-draper and apothecary, grocer and hosier, baker and butcher, vintner and ale-draper, pawn-broker and tally-man, usurer and miser, but found no relief. Then she went to the Exbhange amongst the merchants, but they sent her to the priests, & said it was enough for them to teach; therefore they had no relief for her; so poor honesty being fighted by all, died a miserable death for want of relief,.
