Men, this is not "a man's world," but God's world! Men and women, together, bear the image of God to all creation

Much like Mr. Collins, who introduces us to Fordyce's sermons in Pride and Prejudice, the Rev. James Fordyce reframes an oily over-interest in female behavior as religious instruction.
