prevents their producing natural Effects,
the wild young Men of London would
not live as they do. It is the very Vari-
ety that makes the Number of no Con-
leqiicr.ee. Every new Woman, raifes
a new Idea. Does a Man's being' called
a Doctor—and his perhaps weiring a
great Wig—alter that Nature which he
received.from God ?—If he be in health
can he go to a pretty young Woman of
Faffifoh, and proceed immediately to
take what Freedoms he pleafes—and yet
remain as unmoved as if he were hand-
ling a Block of Marble? !-------She

he help thinking who Ihe is—and what

handle, unneceffarily—under pretence of
dialating the Paffage. It leads them to
life fo much Friction, prior to Delivery,
that the Parts are pre-dlfpofed to in-
flame. It cannot be wondered if the
great Diftention that attends the Birth,
produces %n Inflammation in Parts t'mat •
have been DIGITATED, perhaps for :
Hours. * Digitation will certainly di-

in a greater, e>r lefs Degree—it abfolu-I
tely iridifpofes the Parts for the neceflary
Diltentioh— and thus counteracts the
very Purpafe of the Friction. Nature
never intended that Women fhould be
thus teized anJ fiddled with, while fhe is
difpofmg every thing by gentle degrees,
ftr the wonderful act, which lhe knows
belt how to perform. Every pain has
it's Office. Interference, retards it's
Effect. Men are every way improper
on fuch occafibns. They are as unfit to
handle an Infant as to digitate it's Mo-
ther. A Woman knows 'by experience,
the Tendernefs, and fcnfibility of the
Parts—lhe therefore has a fymp.tthy, and
rellow - reeling for her lex, of which a
Man, by his very fex, is incapable. A t
Woman is naturally qualified for that
