_Rasor_ unmasks _Madamoselle_ and says, _This is the Woman that tempted me: But this is the Serpent_ (meaning Lady _Fanciful_) _that tempted the Woman; And if my Prayers might be heard, her punishment for so doing should be like the Serpents of old, &c._ This _Rasor_ in what we hear of him before, is all Roguery, and Debauch: But now he enters in _Sackcloth_; and talks like _Tribulation_ in the _Alchemist_. His Character is chang'd to make him the more profane; And his Habit, as well as Discourse, is a Jest upon Religion. I am forced to omit one Line of his Confession. The Design of it is to make the _Bible_ deliver an obscene Thought: And because the Text would not bend into a Lewd Application; He alters the words for his purpose, but passes it for Scripture still. This sort of Entertainment is frequent in the _Relapse_. Lord _Foplington_ laughs at the publick Solemnities of Religion, as if 'twas a ridiculous piece of Ignorance, to pretend to the Worship of a God. He discourses with _Berinthia_ and _Amanda_ in this manner[150]: _Why Faith Madam,----Sunday is a vile Day, I must confess. A man must have very little to do at Church that can give an account of the Sermon._ And a little after: _is to mind what one should not do. Lory_ tells young _Fashion, I have been in a lamentable Fright ever since that Conscience had the Impudence to intrude into your Company_. His Master makes him this Comfortable Answer. _Be at peace, it will come no more:----I have kick'd it down stairs._ A little before he breaks out into this Rapture. Now Conscience I defie thee![151] By the way we may observe, that this young _Fashion_ is the _Poets_ Favorite.[152] _Berinthia_ and _Worthy_, two _Characters_ of Figure, determine the point thus in defence of Pimping. Berinth. _Well, I would be glad to have no Bodies Sins to answer for but my own. But where there is a necessity_----[153] Worth. _Right as you say, where there is a Necessity; A Christian is bound to help his Neighbour._ _Nurse_, after a great deal of Profane Stuff concludes her expostulation in these words: _But his Worship_ (_Young_ Fashion) _over-flows with his Mercy and his Bounty; He is not only pleas'd to forgive us our Sins----but which is more than all, has prevail'd with me to become the Wife of thy Bosom_:[154] This is very heavy, and ill dress'd. And an Atheist must be sharp set to relish it. The Vertuous _Amanda_, makes no scruple to charge the Bible with untruths. --_What Slippery stuff are Men compos'd of? Sure the Account of their Creation's false, And 'twas the Womans Rib that they were form'd of._[155] Thus this Lady abuses her self, together with the Scripture, and shews her Sense, and her Religion, to be much of a Size.
