FURTHER NOTE 
 
The silly cavillers now observe that this is no solution 
of the difficulty, Sir P. Percivale being English.  This is 
absurd : (I) Lady Percivale is just as likely to have remained 
virgo intacta as any other mother :  (2) The English law, 
cognisant of the dilemma set forth above, permits the use of a 
poker in the relations of man and wife :  (3) If God’s Grace can 
break a habit, it can surely rupture a hymen.
