But since the Necessity of debauching a certain Number of young Women, is entirely owing to the Necessity of supplying the _Public Stews_; a Question may very reasonably arise, whether this Project might not be vastly improv’d, even to the total Extirpation of _Private Whoring_, by an Act _for encouraging the Importation of foreign Women_. This, I must confess, deserves a serious Debate: for, besides the Honour of our Females, which would be preserv’d by such an Act, it might bring this farther Advantage; That whereas most of our estated Youth spend a great Part of their Time and Fortunes in travelling Abroad, for no other End, as it seems by most of them, but to be inform’d in the _French_ and _Italian_ Gallantry; they would then have an Opportunity of satisfying their Curiosity in Foreign Amours, without stirring out of _London_. But I shall leave the Decision of this Matter to abler Pens, well knowing, that a Truth of this Nature, which carries so much the Air of Novelty, will require much better Authority than mine to warrant it. Let it suffice for the present, that I have fully prov’d what I at first propos’d in this Treatise: That _Public Whoring_ is neither so criminal in itself, nor so detrimental to the _Society_, as _Private Whoring_; and that the encouraging of _Publick Whoring_, by erecting _Stews_ for that Purpose, will not only prevent most of the mischievous Consequences of this Vice, but even lessen the Quantity of _Whoring_ in general, and reduce it to the narrowest Bounds which it can possibly be contain’d in. After what has been said, it may, perhaps, appear somewhat odd to talk of Religious Objections, as if either Christianity or Morality could possibly object against a _Scheme_, which is entirely calculated for the Welfare and Happiness of Mankind. But since a great many Men amongst us have entertained such whimsical Notions of Religion, as to imagine, that in some Cases, a Law may be unjust and wicked, tho’ it evidently promotes the Publick Good: as if the right Enjoyment of this Life was inconsistent with our Happiness in the next: I say, since many Men of Understanding have suffer’d themselves to be possess’d with this mistaken Principle, I shall, as briefly as may be, answer such Objections as can, with any Colour of Reason, be offer’d.
