Nowadays it's about sex or bodily functions, but in Victorian times (and earlier) blasphemy was it

They spell Sunt with a C, which is damnable. I think that's 17th century. It's not that they didn't use sex and bodily fuctions- it's just that the blasphemy got printed, but by God and Mary, it's lost its power now, the very Devil it has!
