went to Bed, the Parson's Wife putting out the Candle. They had not been
long in Bed before _Diana_ began to kiss the Parson's Wife with
Freedom, but she not suspecting any thing farther, and supposing it
might proceed more from Wine than any thing else was pretty easy, 'till
at last _Diana_ threw her self upon her, and began an Adventure, very

and _Diana_, who expressing a very great Concern, and withal protesting,
that the Injury was offer'd without the least Design on their Parts, the
Parson was reconcil'd to them, but turn'd _Diana_ out of Door with the
