| [R]IDE behind his Wife, and lets her<br /> | |
| [ ]wear the Spurs and governs the Reins. He<br /> | |
| is a Kind of prepos<em>terous Animal, that being<br /> | |
| curbed in goes with his Tail forwards. He is<br /> | |
| but s</em>ubordinate and minis<em>terial to his Wife,<br /> | |
| who commands in chief, and he dares do no-<br /> | |
| thing without her Order. She takes Place of him,<br /> | |
| and he creeps in at the Bed's Feet, as if he had<br /> | |
| married the [i] Grand Seignor's [i] Daughter, and is<br /> | |
| under Correction of her Pantofle. He is his<br /> | |
| Wife's Villain, and has nothing of his own<br /> | |
| further than s</em>he pleas<em>es to allow him. When<br /> | |
| he was married he promis</em>ed to wors<em>hip his<br /> | |
| Wife with his Sould ins</em>tead of his Body, and<br /> | |
| endowed her among his worldly Goods with his<br /> | |
| Humanity. He changed Sexes with his Wife,<br /> | |
| and put off the old Man to put on the new<br /> | |
| Woman. She s<em>its as the Helm, and he does<br /> | |
| but tup like a Slave at the Oar. The little<br /> | |

| Wit he has being held [i] in capite [i] has rendered all<br /> | |
| the res</em>t of his Concerments liable to Pupi-<br /> | |
| lage and Wards<em>hip, and his Wife has the<br /> | |
| Tuition of his during his or her Life; and<br /> | |
| he has no Power to do any Thing of hims</em>elf,<br /> | |
| but by his Guardian. His Wife manages him<br /> | |
| and his Es<em>tate with equal Authority, and he<br /> | |
| lives unde rher aribtrary Government and Com-<br /> | |
| mand as his s</em>uperior Office. He is but a kind<br /> | |
| of Mes<em>s</em>uage and Tenement in the Occupation<br /> | |
| of his Wife. He and s<em>he make up a Kind of<br /> | |
| Hermaphrodite, a Mons</em>ter, or which the one<br /> | |
| half is more than the whole; for he is the<br /> | |
| weaker Ves<em>s</em>el, and but his Wife's Helper. His<br /> | |
| Wife es<em>pous</em>ed and took him to Hus<em>band for<br /> | |
| better or wors</em>e, and the las<em>t Word s</em>tands.<br /> | |
| He was meant to be his Wife's Head, but being<br /> | |
| s<em>et on at the wrong End s</em>he makes him s<em>erve<br /> | |
| (like the Jes</em>uits Devil) for her Feet. He is her<br /> | |
| Province, an Acquis<em>ition that s</em>he took in,<br /> | |
| and gives Laws to at Indis<em>cretion; for being<br /> | |
| overmatched and too feeble for the Encounter,<br /> | |
| he was forced to s</em>ubmit and take Quarter.<br /> | |
| He has inverted the Curs<em>e, ad turned it upon<br /> | |
| hims</em>elf; for his Des<em>ire is towards his Wife,<br /> | |
| and s</em>he reign over him and with [i] Es<em>au [i] has<br /> | |
| s</em>old his Birthright for a Mes<em>s of Matrimony.<br /> | |

| His Wife took his Liberty among his worldy<br /> | |
| Goods, to have and to hold till Death them<br /> | |
| do part. He is but Groom of his Wife's<br /> | |
| Chamber, and her menial Hus</em>band, that is<br /> | |
| always in waiting, and a Slave only in the Right<br /> | |
| of his Wife.<br /> | |
