ADULTERY Advantages of.
The infidelity apprehension of of in the wife may be regarded
as a preservative of nature's providing against
the neglect or cruelty on the part of the
husband : in like manner as that of being obliged
to expose one's life in a duel is against
intemperate behaviour and ill-manners between men. A man who had no value for the affection of a woman, would be mortified at her taking a step of this sort from a regard to his own honor.
I believe the condition of the
species in Farky would not be much ,
if they had among the men it had our politeness &
with our duels, & far the women, our
freedom with our adulteries. be changed much suffer much by the change Not that the
however consider'd in this light of a punishment, the
benefit good effect of it is man so considerable, it's way
as that of the practise to which it is here compared.
It's connection with the grievances
to which it is here opposed is not near so
necessary constant, and the misery that it causes bears
a much greater ratio to what it may be supposed
