+Of the Süntvegers, or (pretended) Murderers.+
The xvi^{ th} chapter is about the SÜNTVEGERS. These are strong fellows who go about the country with long knives and say they have taken a man’s life away, but that it was in self-defence, and then they name a sum of money which they must have, and unless they bring the money at the right time, they will have their heads cut off. _Item_, some are accompanied by a fellow on their begging-rounds who goes in iron chains and fetters fastened with rings, and who says he was bail for the other for a sum of money to the people, and if he gets not the money in time, both of them must perish.
The xvij^{ th} chapter is about the FEMALE-SÜNTVEGERS. These are the wives (KRÖNERIN), or, in reality, the wenches (GLIDEN) of the above fellows (_supra in precedenti capitulo_). They wander over the country, and say that formerly they led a loose life, but that now they repent and would turn from their wickedness, and beg alms for the sake of Sancta Maria Magdalena, and cheat the people therewith.
+Of the Bil-wearers,[13] or (pretended) pregnant Women.+
The xviij^{ th} chapter is about the BIL-WEARERS. These are the women who tie old jerkins, or clothes, or a pillow over their person, underneath the gown, in order that people may think they are with child; and they have not had one for xx years or more. This is called GOING WITH BILS.[14]
+Of the Virgins (Jungfrauen), or pretended Lepers.+
The xix^{ th} chapter is about the VIRGINS. These are beggars who carry rattles as though they were real lepers, and yet they are not. This is called GOING WITH THE VIRGIN.
The xx^{ th} chapter treats of the MÜMSEN. These are beggars who go about under the pretence of begging; though it is not real, like that of the Capuchin Friars who are voluntarily poor. These same men have their women sitting in out-of-the-way corners also following the business. This is called GOING WITH THE MÜMSEN.
+Of the Over-Sönzen-Goers,[15] or pretended Noblemen and Knights.+
The xxi^{ st} chapter is about OVER-SÖNZEN-GOERS. These are vagrants or beggars who say they are of noble birth, and that they have suffered by war, fire, or captivity, or have been driven away and lost all they had. These clothe themselves prettily and with neatness, as though they were noble, though it is not so; they have false letters (LOE BSAFFOT); and this they call GOING OVER SÖNZEN.
