Part 2
Verse 2, Part A
	Because these instructions are at the bottom of a page, and thus are blurred and only barely legible, I'm not sure whether you actually do siding here, or the lead up and back again … I'll err on the "match Playford" side of this

Part 3
Verse 3, Chorus 3
	The instructions for part 3 are "Doe the same, as you did att first, over agayne", so just repeat part 1 in total.
Note:	The dance instruction ends with "and then leade of, and let others procede if they please", which is an interesting contrast to the dances where the dancers are allowed to continue the dance as long as they please …
Comparison to the Playford version (The Spanish Jeepsie, 1st to 18th editions)
	This is obviously a popular dance, seeing as it managed to last through the first 18 (or 19, depending on how you count the 3rd edition's A and B versions) editions, after which they changed the naming convention.
	Thus, it lasted from 1651 to 1728 roughly in the same form (I don't actually have facsimilies of every edition, and while the on-line overview I use suggests that there's only one basic version in Playford, that may or may not be true).
	However, this is very definitely a "version 0" of the dance - markedly similar, especially in the verses, but varying slightly more in the chorus, where we have only 2 people, instead of 2 couples, undertaking the action.
	In addition, the basic action of the chorus does not change, unlike the 1st edition Playford version, where the central action of each chorus (after the selected couples have met in the middle) changes each time, if only slightly.
Conclusion:
	Definitely an ancestor of the Playford version, this dance should work well to the music used for that dance.
