The Parson by this time being ready to perform his Office, the Bride and Bridegroom, and Diana were usher’d into a great Hall, hung round with Scripture Paintings, particularly of our Saviour, illustrating his whole Life from his Birth, and being laid in the Manger to the Time of his Crucifixion.  When the Service was over, and the wedded Couple had join’d their Hands and Hearts, a splendid Entertainment was provided by the Parson to refresh them after the Fatigue of their Journey, which continuing ’till it was late in the Evening, the Bride and Bridegroom, and Diana had not time for their Return to Urbino, whereupon the Parson, in good Manners, first took Notice of it, and withal offer’d them the Use of his House, which they accepted, considering it would at least be hazardous, if not impossible to reach Urbino that Night.

The Bride and Bridegroom, and all the Company, were as merry as was possible, and after Supper, Directions were given by the Parson for preparing the Beds; but before the usual Time of retiring to Rest, his Brother coming accidentally from Bonona, there arose some Difficulty with the Parson in the disposal of his Guests, he having no more Beds than two at liberty:  At last they agreed that Diana should lye with the Parson’s Wife, who was a very handsom Woman, and the Parson and his Brother were to pig together, whereby there would be a Bed at the Service of the Bride and Bridegroom.  Several Bottles of Champaign and Burgundy, and of fine Italian Wines being drank, the Bride and Bridegroom were put to Bed with a great deal of Solemnity; afterwards Diana and the Parson’s Wife were lighted to their Apartment, and he and his Brother repair’d to theirs.

The Family, which had not been long at rest, alarm’d at this unseasonable Noise, arose; the Parson came to his Wife’s Chamber Door, and finding it bolted within, he call’d to her to know the occasion of this Disturbance; she answer’d, “That she had a Man or a Monster in Bed with her, one that was then violating her Person.”  The Parson supposing this to be a Design to Cuckold him, order’d his Servants to break open the Chamber Door, which being instantly effected, he rescu’d his Wife
