By the dæmon of asceticism and the morality / system of morals / of which he is the

author / sprung from his loins / all these remedies are proscribed in the lump,

though in the application of the proscription different degrees of severity are

manifested the degree of severity manifested / exercised / is in the different cases

different.

1. Intercourse without cohabitation on such terms as on the part of the female

denominate it / rank it under the name of / prostitution.

Under the influence of asceticism Except in cases and on contingencies too narrow in

extent to be worth consideration in / on / so general a view on the part / side / in

the case // of the male this remedy is left free by law by the legal sanction so far

as depends upon the popular or moral as well as / [the] legal sanction left free; but

/ though / on the part / in the case / of the female it is by the popular or moral

[sanction] punished with exclusion from the society of such females as do not

transgress in this way or are not known to do so.

2. Cohabitation without marriage. To the state of things in question viz.

overpopulation considered in the character of a disorder, this mode of intercourse

when / if / considered in itself will scarcely be seen to produce any sensible effect

in the character of a remedy. But, by reason of the impermanence of the implied

contract / situation / of the condition in life thus produced, the tendency of it is

to cast down / transfer / depress // the female into the penal situation brought to

view in the preceding case.

    Ch 4 Remedies interdicted

    1 § 1 Remedies to evill of prolific mode interdicted

    ‘Error if supposed that for having destroyed an infant at birth a mother would be

    less tender to another that she had.

    ‘Jesus is never good enough for them, these holy men: nothing will serve him the

    very least of them―but he must be better than Jesus.’

    Ch. 4. Asceticism continued.―Remedies interdicted

    Among the consequences of the gratification when obtained in the ordinary mode may be

    / have been / seen a severer[?] tribe of evils, against which the nature of the case

    suggests a set of remedies, the use of which without inconsistency[?] the principle

    of utility would not without inconsistency condemn applicable the one or the other

    according to the circumstances of the occasion but / and / which under the influence

    of the principle / evil principle / of asceticism are condemned without reflection,

    and punished without mercy. To this head may be referred

    1. Sexual intercourse without cohabitation

    2. Cohabitation without marriage in the terms of a contract for a momentary or other

    short term / the present occasion / not extending beyond the present occasion: termed

    prostitution in so far as in any other shape than that of the mutual gratification a

    recompense is received, prostitution.

    3. Marriage polygamous on both sides

    5. Voluntary Abortion self procured abortion on the part [of] the female.

    6. Power of breeding up or not during early infancy

    4. Cohabitation with precautions employed in prevention of pregnancy / to prevent

    conception /

    7. Divorce by mutual consent.

    On the circumstance of time depends the applicability /

    appositeness / of these several remedies

    By the overcharge and sterility the overcharge commonly produced by which is the

    common / are the usual / attendant on occasional / impermanent / ephemeral //

    cohabitation sterility on the part of the female at least so long as the promiscuous

    habit of promiscuous intercourse lasts: the evil of overpopulation is thus in so far

    excluded at the earliest possible stage.

    2. By doubly polygamous marriage all that is gained unless the fourth of the above

    remedies be added is the setting correspondent limits to the field of intercourse;

    and thus confining the encrease within limits. Moreover to / in / a degree more or

    less considerable than those within which it is confined by marriage in the ordinary

    mode.

    4. Intercourse with precaution to prevent conception

    To this remedy the dæmon of asceticism seems scarcely to have directed his blasting

    eye. It is probably in use and to no inconsiderable extent in several / three /

    situations / cases /: 1 in the case of stolen intercourse without adultery on the

    part of the female / where the female is unmarried /: 2 in the case of adulterous /

    stolen / intercourse where the female is bound by the bonds of marriage: in these

    cases for the avoidance of disrepute and the other mischiefs / evils / incidentally

    attendant on exposure: 3. in the case of marriage, for the express and sole purpose

    of obtaining exemption from the burthen of fruitfulness in excess.

    To the diminution / defalcation / which in this case is necessarily made from the

    intensity of the gratification are / is / plainly owing / referable / whatsoever use

    / application / is made of either of the two remaining remedies.
