from the Power of Diana.  After this he seiz’d Diana, and upon Examination, finding her to be an Hermaphrodite, having the Members of both Sexes, he order’d his Servants to carry her to the Garret, and tye her hands and Legs together, and then to put her into the Bed of the Maid-Servant.  This being done, the Parson went to Bed again, as did likewise his Wife, and the Family was at rest the whole Night; and the Noise, though it was great, did not disturb the Bride and Bridegroom after their Enjoyments of Wine and Love.

The next Morning the Parson arose early, and going to the Bride and Bridegroom, acquainted them with what had happen’d relating to his Wife and Diana, who expressing a very great Concern, and withal protesting, that the Injury was offer’d without the least Design on their Parts, the Parson was reconcil’d to them, but turn’d Diana out of Door with the Indignity she deserv’d. Diana immediately return’d to Urbino, as did likewise the Bride and Bridegroom some Hours after, having first made the Parson a Present of a Purse of Gold for his Service and very great Civility.

It was not long after this, that Isabella walking in the Streets of Urbino, in the close of the Evening, a Foreign Count, of luscious Inclinations passing by her, gave her an amorous Look, and addressing her with a great deal of Complaisance, she seem’d for his Purpose, and indeed she long’d for a pleasing Variety, having met with no uncommon Adventure for a considerable Time.

The Count observing her inclin’d to Pleasure, invited her to his House, which she at first rejected, but after a great deal of Intreaty and Persuasion she condescended, not rightly apprehending the Consequence, with a Gentleman that was a perfect Stranger to her.  When they were arriv’d at the House of the Count Isabella was handed through several Rooms of State to an Anti-Chamber, where he was desir’d to sit down, the Count calling for his Servants to prepare a costly Supper; while the Supper was dressing, he kiss’d and dally’d with Isabella, but she was unexpectedly shy, behaving her self with a great deal of gravity; at length the Supper was brought, consisting of Fish, Fowl, Ragooes, Soops, &c. dress’d to the heighth of the Mode; they both eat heartily and drank very freely of noble Wines.  After the Supper was over, the Count renew’d his Addresses to Isabella, who seem’d a little more compliable, but would not allow him the Fredom he desir’d, which had the usual Consequences of encreasing his Inclinations:  It growing late, he carry’d her, to his Chamber, where after some Time, she, was oblig’d to go to Bed with him.
