Evidence:
'in one of the Sermons on Social Duties, published lately by a [italics] real [end italics] Divine, he makes this Observation, That he believes, very few Women have either been so weak, or so wicked, to wrong the Marriage-bed, but when they have been provok'd to it, either by the ill Treatment they receiv'd from their Husbands, or in Revenge to their prior falsehoods. If I have not deliver'd the worthy Author's sentiments with his own Elegance of Style, I am sure he will pardon me, as I only quote from memory, not being mistress of his admirable Works.'
