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.
