I need to find out what new laws might have been enacted between
1660-1685 on rape and incest. I am doing work on a Restoration woman
poet who mentions "laws recently enacted 'gainst murder, rapine, and
incest", which I have been unable to trace. Any and all help/tips most
appreciated. Pat Hoffmann (I am not a member of list; please respond
