27: A Helth to Betty
longways for as many as you please
mms pages 55 to 57
Playford version: from 1st edition to 18th edition.
Music: Popular Tunes in 17th Century England, by the Broadside Band (with not enough repeats)
Part 1
Verse 1, Part A
1: Lead forward [a double]
2: Fall back [a double]
3-4: Set [and turn single, left]
Verse 1, Part B
1: Lead forward [a double]
2: Fall back [a double]
3-4: Set [and turn single, right]
Chorus 1
1-2: Couple 1 sides [left] with each other
3-4: Couple 1 turns each other around [once and a half, in this case to be ready to continue the figure with their opposite gender]
Chorus 1, repeated
1-2: Man 1 sides [left] with woman 2, woman 1 sides [left] with man 2
3-4: The people who sided turn each other around [once and a half times, to progress the active couple]
And so on:
The figure continues until everyone is back in place.  This is a slightly different version of a virus-progressive figure, modified as follows:  at the top and bottom, instead of sitting out to come back in as the other half of the figure, you do the figure to switch sides (at the bottom, to return to proper sides, at the top, to get ready to proceed down the set).

Verse 2, Part A
1-2: Side [left to line up right shoulders]

3-4: Set [and turn single, right]
Chorus 2
1: Couple 1 falls back [a small double]
2: Couple 1 slips down and forward into couple 2's place
3-4: Couple 1 turns each other around
And so on:
The figure continues like this in virus-progressive format, until everyone is back in place

1-2: Arm [left (right arms, walk left)]
3-4: Set [and turn single, left]
Verse 3, Part B
1-2: Arm [right (left arms, walk right)]
3-4: Set [and turn single, right]
Chorus 3
1: Couple 1 falls back [a double] from each other
2: Couple 1 comes back together into couple 2's place, but on the inside (explicitly not the outside) of couple 2
3-4: Couple 1 turns all the way around
And so on:
The figure continues like this in virus-progressive format, until everyone is back in place
Comparison to the Playford version (1st to 18th editions)
This dance is exactly the same as in Playford, and in Playford the dance endured until the end of the first volume in 1728.  This version is slightly less specific about how the motions are accomplished, but every movement is identical within that looser framework and only points up how Playford regimentalized ECDs when he published his books.
The only substantive difference is that the second and third figures start out the same, while Playford's version has the second figure starting out with the active couple meeting, then backing away before casting off.
Also of note:
As a whole, this dance is very interesting in that the first chorus is an overly-involved virus-progressive figure, while the other two choruses are overly-simplified in that they don't actually involve the "inactive" couple at all, just asking the "active" couple to move around in a specific way with the "inactive" couple getting out of their way.
