There is no more reason why a Peer should be entitled
by Law to purchase the chastity of his neighbour's
wife, than a Peasant should of his.

In other Crimes the injured party may be a
witness; because they are prosecutedable by Indictment —
In Adultery he cannot —
Yet Adultery is precisely that crime of all
others, in which such testimony might be admitted
with least danger: because if a man
were minded to wreak his resentment on an
enemy by a false accusation, a crime and an accusation which
could not publish the other's guilt but it must
publish his own shame, would be precisely
the last that he would chuse.
