From the parish register of Wadenhoe, Northants:- 

12 June 1753John Weekly performed his penance before the congregation having been found guilty of fornication with Susan Smith of this parish.

20 June 1756John Weekly performed his penance before the congregation having been found guilty of fornication for a second time with Susan Smith.

31 May 1757 – John Weekly performed his penance before the congregation having been found guilty of fornication for a third time, with Mary Ward of the parish of Weldon.

16 July 1763John Weekly and Sarah, his wife, performed their penance before the congregation having been found guilty of fornication before marriage.

I shall leave you to draw your own conclusions.
