»o one knows who are obliged to this Houfe, and - who not. Herealfo they edu- cate young Maidens, give them Portions, and marry themn to indultrious Tradefmen. Boys alfo are put out Apprentices,and,when they are out of their Time, are fet up in their Trades. Foundling Children are 1e- ceived bere too, and taken great Care of, Antient Hiftery having recorded the Dra- very of the Women of Braga, and their Viftory being attended with remarkable Circumitances, the Reader, I prefume, will not be difpleafed to be acquainted with them. Some time before this Part of Portugal was fubdued by theRomans, there happen- ed a mortalQuarrel between the Inhabitants . of Braga and thofe of Porto, in which"the Ladies of Braga fcem to have been as much”, _ concerned as the Men, not only by the - " Rage and Fury which they -fhewed id the - _ Battle, but alfo by the particilar Priyileges . and Advantages grantéd them by the Ar- ticles of Peace. g In fhort, Men were too weak to fuftain their Fury-; and they gave thofe of Perto fuch an Overthrow, as tedu- ¢ed them to the following ~Conditiobs, . which being curious, I fhall give them at . large. Imprimis, If a Women of Braga marries a Man of Porto, {he fhall bring noPortion ; but theHufband fhall be obliged to prefent her Father, and each of her Brothers, with a very rich Suit of Cloaths. Secondly, 1f fhe fhould commitAdultery, - that it thall notbein the Hufband’s Power to kill her ; but -fhe {hall be left to the- Judgment of her own Father,or her neareft * Male Relation, Tbirdly, That they fhall make no For- * tifications withaut the Confent of the Wg . men of Braga. - Fourtkly, That in War a Man of Porto fhould have no Poft of Importance in the Army. Fifthly, That,ifany Man of Perto were permicted to accept of a great Poit, that, ~anfuch Cafe, a Woman of Braga, com- pletely armed, fhouvld tread upon his Neck, "in order to qualify him for the Honour pro- pofed. - : Sixtkly, That if a Man of Porte prope- ‘fed to marry a Virgin of Bragas, that fhe thould be firft deflowered by fome one of her own Relations, whom fhe fhould think fitceft for thac Purpofe 5 and -the patient Bridegroom is obliged to lead her ro her favourite Relation’s Bed. Seventbly, 1f a Man of Braga cemmit Adultery with a Woman of Porso, he thall .not be punifhed ; but, for his Atcnement, "he thall leave his Cloaths behind him. Theinexpreflible Valour of the Women, of Braga is fo evidemr, by the particular Care that it taken of their Concerns in the Treaty, that one would be almoft inclined to, think.that Five or, Six .of the Artcles - .were of their ewn drawing up. » _ To the PRINTER.
