more_o female_a detractor_n and_o slanderer_n to_o ruin_v her_o reputation_n than_o any_o monarch_n have_v soldier_n to_o fight_v a_o enemy_n &_o if_o any_o woman_n be_v ill-favoured_a it_o be_v mention_v as_o a_o reproach_n although_o it_o be_v nature_n fault_n and_o not_o she_o and_o if_o she_o be_v indifferent_o handsome_a they_o speak_v of_o she_o as_o regardless_o if_o she_o be_v in_o year_n they_o will_v say_v she_o be_v fit_a for_o the_o grave_a than_o company_n if_o young_a fit_a for_o a_o school_n than_o conversation_n if_o of_o middle_a year_n their_o tongue_n be_v the_o forerunner_n of_o her_o decay_n if_o she_o have_v wealth_n and_o no_o title_n she_o be_v like_a meat_n all_o fat_a and_o no_o blood_n and_o if_o great_a title_n with_o small_a wealth_n they_o say_v she_o be_v like_o a_o pudding_n without_o fat_a and_o if_o she_o have_v both_o wealth_n and_o title_n they_o shun_v she_o as_o the_o plague_n they_o hate_v to_o see_v she_o as_o owl_n hate_v the_o light_n and_o if_o she_o have_v neither_o wealth_n nor_o title_n they_o scorn_v her_o company_n and_o will_v not_o cast_v a_o eye_n towards_o she_o and_o thus_o the_o generality_n be_v to_o every_o particular_a wherefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o particular_a either_o to_o please_v the_o humour_n or_o avoid_v the_o slander_n or_o reproach_n of_o the_o generality_n for_o every_o one_o be_v against_o another_o indeed_o every_o one_o be_v against_o all_o and_o all_o against_o every_o one_o and_o yet_o through_o the_o itch_n of_o talk_n luxury_n wantonness_n and_o vanity_n they_o will_v associate_v into_o company_n or_o rather_o i_o may_v say_v gather_v into_o company_n and_o frequent_v each_o other_o house_n whereas_o those_o that_o endeavour_n to_o be_v true_o happy_a will_v not_o be_v trouble_v with_o such_o folly_n nor_o disturb_v with_o such_o toy_n but_o i_o be_o not_o so_o retire_v as_o to_o bar_v myself_o from_o the_o company_n of_o my_o good_a friend_n or_o such_o as_o be_v free_a from_o exception_n as_o not_o to_o translate_v harmless_a and_o simple_a word_n to_o a_o evil_a sense_n or_o mean_v or_o such_o as_o be_v so_o noble_a as_o not_o to_o dispraise_n or_o

return_v their_o visit_n or_o perhaps_o not_o visit_v they_o at_o any_o time_n but_o will_v excuse_v or_o pardon_v my_o lazy_a humour_n and_o not_o account_v it_o a_o disrespect_n as_o true_o it_o be_v none_o for_o i_o do_v honour_n and_o admire_v all_o civil_a worthy_a and_o honourable_a person_n and_o will_v be_v ready_a at_o all_o time_n honest_o to_o serve_v they_o but_o this_o retire_a life_n be_v so_o please_a to_o i_o as_o i_o will_v not_o change_v it_o for_o all_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o public_a world_n nay_o not_o to_o be_v mistress_n of_o the_o world_n for_o i_o shall_v not_o desire_v to_o be_v mistress_n of_o that_o which_o be_v too_o big_a to_o be_v command_v too_o self-willed_a to_o be_v rule_v too_o factious_a to_o be_v govern_v too_o turbulent_a to_o live_v in_o peace_n and_o war_n will_v fright_v at_o least_o grieve_v i_o that_o mankind_n shall_v be_v so_o ill-natured_a and_o cruel_a to_o destroy_v each_o other_o to_o conclude_v i_o be_o more_o happy_a in_o my_o home-retirement_n than_o i_o believe_v the_o lady_n s_o p._n be_v in_o her_o public_a frequentment_n have_v a_o noble_a and_o kind_a husband_n who_o be_v witty_a and_o wise_a company_n a_o

know_v that_o my_o retirement_n from_o the_o public_a concourse_n and_o army_n of_o the_o world_n and_o regiment_n of_o acquaintance_n be_v neither_o through_o constraint_n nor_o fantastic_a humour_n but_o through_o a_o love_n to_o peace_n ease_n and_o pleasure_n all_o which_o you_o enjoy_v which_o be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o your_o ladyship_n faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n happiness_n xxx_o madam_n yesterday_o be_v not_o in_o the_o humour_n of_o write_v i_o take_v plutarch_n life_n or_o as_o some_o call_v they_o plutarch_n lie_n but_o live_v or_o lie_v or_o a_o mixture_n of_o both_o i_o read_v part_n of_o the_o day_n in_o that_o book_n and_o it_o be_v my_o chance_n to_o read_v the_o life_n of_o pericles_n the_o athenian_a in_o which_o story_n he_o be_v commend_v for_o his_o gravity_n government_n and_o wisdom_n this_o pericles_n i_o do_v much_o admire_v all_o the_o time_n i_o read_v of_o he_o until_o i_o do_v read_v where_o it_o be_v mention_v of_o his_o marry_v aspasia_n a_o famous_a courtesan_n and_o then_o i_o do_v not_o think_v he_o so_o wise_a a_o man_n as_o i_o do_v before_o in_o that_o he_o can_v not_o rule_v his_o passion_n better_o but_o to_o marry_v a_o whore_n neither_o do_v gravity_n and_o wantonness_n suit_n well_o together_o for_o to_o my_o imagination_n a_o grave_a cuckold_n do_v appear_v most_o ridiculous_a and_o although_o she_o be_v constant_a to_o he_o yet_o the_o lewdness_n of_o her_o former_a life_n can_v not_o but_o be_v a_o great_a blemish_n to_o he_o as_o to_o marry_v the_o dregs_o and_o leave_n of_o other_o man_n but_o it_o seem_v that_o she_o have_v a_o attractive_a power_n especial_o on_o such_o as_o they_o call_v wise_a man_n as_o statesman_n philosopher_n and_o governor_n and_o all_o this_o power_n lie_v in_o her_o tongue_n which_o be_v a_o bawd_n for_o the_o other_o end_n nay_o so_o well_o it_o be_v say_v she_o can_v speak_v that_o not_o only_o such_o man_n as_o foremention_v do_v come_v to_o hear_v she_o and_o to_o learn_v to_o speak_v eloquent_o by_o she_o but_o many_o also_o bring_v their_o wife_n to_o hear_v she_o which_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v dangerous_a lest_o they_o may_v learn_v her_o vice_n with_o her_o rhetoric_n but_o it_o seem_v the_o grecian_n be_v not_o like_o the_o italian_n concern_v their_o wife_n although_o they_o be_v like_o they_o concern_v their_o courtesan_n but_o honest_a woman_n take_v not_o so_o much_o care_n to_o speak_v well_o as_o to_z do_v that_o which_o be_v virtuous_a and_o so_o leave_v aspasia_n and_o pericles_n in_o plutarch_n history_n i_o rest_v madam_n your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n xxxi_o madam_n i_o can_v wonder_v if_o i_o hear_v that_o man_n which_o be_v advance_v to_o power_n and_o authority_n shall_v be_v dispraise_v because_o it_o be_v usual_a but_o rather_o i_o shall_v wonder_v if_o i_o shall_v hear_v such_o man_n praise_v or_o applaud_v although_o their_o life_n and_o action_n be_v blameless_a nay_o wise_a and_o honest_a for_o i_o have_v observe_v that_o if_o any_o man_n have_v more_o wealth_n merit_n power_n or_o wit_n than_o his_o neighbour_n he_o be_v sure_a to_o be_v private_o hate_v and_o public_o rail_v or_o exclaim_v against_o and_o to_o show_v their_o hate_n and_o dispraise_n be_v against_o his_o merit_n wealth_n power_n wit_n or_o the_o like_a if_o this_o man_n fall_v from_o those_o favour_n either_o of_o fortune_n or_o nature_n he_o be_v not_o only_o pity_v but_o dear_o belove_v and_o high_o praise_v and_o this_o ill_a and_o inconstant_a nature_n and_o humour_n be_v so_o frequent_a in_o all_o age_n and_o nation_n as_o it_o may_v very_o easy_o be_v believe_v that_o it_o be_v create_v in_o the_o essence_n of_o mankind_n insomuch_o that_o have_v man_n be_v create_v before_o the_o angel_n fall_v they_o will_v have_v envy_v their_o glory_n and_o accuse_v god_n of_o partiality_n in_o make_v such_o difference_n between_o man_n and_o angel_n but_o whenas_o those_o angel_n be_v cast_v from_o
