Excerpt from Reflections Upon Marriage: To Which Is Added a Preface, in Answer to Some Objections

Rich and Powerful but filly Women, who having at mean an Opinion of the Reafon god had given them, as any Deceiver cou'd dcfire, did not, like the noble minded Bereans, fearch the Scriptures Whether thofe things were fo, but lazily took up with having Men's Per fons in admiration, and follow'd their Leaders Blind fold, the certain Rout to Defiruéiion. And it is alfo probable, that the fame cunning Seducer imploy'd theje Women to carry on his own Defigns, and putting them upon what he might not think fit to appear in him/hf, made them guilty of Indecent Behaviour in the Church of Corinth. And therefore St. Paul thought it necef; fary to reprove them fo feverely in order to humble them, but this being done, he takes care in the Coliti clufion to fet the matter on a right Foot, placing the two Sexes on a Level, to keep Men as much as might be, from taking thofe advantages which People who, have firength in their hands, are apt to aflume over tho/h who can't contend with them. For, fays'h'ine verthelefh, or notwith/ianding the former Arg'iiment, the Man is not Without the Woman, nor the W0 man Without the Man, but all things of god; The Relation between the two Sexes ti mutual, and the Dependanc Reciprocal, both of them Depending intirelyi upon god? And upon Him only; which one wou'd think is no great Argument of the natural Inferiority of either Sex.
