" The Parson supposing
this to be a Design to Cuckold him, order'd his Servants to break open
the Chamber Door, which being instantly effected, he rescu'd his Wife
from the Power of _Diana_. After this he seiz'd _Diana_, and upon
Examination, finding her to be an Hermaphrodite, having the Members of
both Sexes, he order'd his Servants to carry her to the Garret, and tye
her hands and Legs together, and then to put her into the Bed of the
Maid-Servant. This being done, the Parson went to Bed again, as did
likewise his Wife, and the Family was at rest the whole Night; and the
Noise, though it was great, did not disturb the Bride and Bridegroom
after their Enjoyments of Wine and Love.
The next Morning the Parson arose early, and going to the Bride and
Bridegroom, acquainted them with what had happen'd relating to his Wife
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
Indignity she deserv'd. _Diana_ immediately return'd to _Urbino_, as
did likewise the Bride and Bridegroom some Hours after, having first
made the Parson a Present of a Purse of Gold for his Service and very
great Civility.
