"why hath nature given to Women two exuberant fontinells,
which, like two Roes that are twinnes, feed among the Lilies, and drop
milk like dew from Hermon, and hath invited that nourishment from the
secret recesses, where the infant dwelt at first, up to the breast where
naturally now the childe is cradled in the entertainments of love and maternall
embrances; but that nature, having removed the Babe, and carried its meat after
it, intends that it should be preserved by the matter and ingredients of its
constitution, and have the same diet prepared with a more mature and
proportionable digestion?If nature
intended them not for nourishment, I am sure it lesse intended them for pride
and wantonnesse; they are needlesse excrescencies and vices of nature, unlesse
employed in natures work and proper intendment."
