The book linked to is a really interesting slice of 1680s culture. Kathy: "But they can't hide it [having sex] from God, who sees and knows all things" Frank: "God who sees and knows all things will say nothing; besides, I cannot think leachery a sin, I am sure if Women govern'd the world and the Church as men do, you would soon find they would account fucking so lawful, as it should not be accounted a Misdemeanor." Kathy: "I wonder men should be so rigorous against a thing they love so well." Frank: "Only for fear of giving to much liberty to the Women, who else would challenge the same liberty with them, but in fine, we wink at one anothers faults, and do not think swiving a hainous sin, and were it not for fear of great Bellys, if it were possible swiving would be much more used then now it is."
