The Clock revisited, and revisited

The monstrous regimen of women

 

The Proposition. To promote a Woman to bear rule, superiority, dominion or empire above any realm, nation or city is

1. Repugnant to nature.
2. Contumely to GOD.
3. The subversion of good order, of all equity and justice.
4. Men illuminated only by the light of nature have seen and determined that it is a thing most repugnant to nature, that Women rule and govern over men.
