commendation of her Also Socrates for his grauity and wisedome is renowned throughout all the world yet he most dearely loued Alpasy an old and ouerworne Strumpet Loue stayed King Antiochus in Calcidea a whole winter for one maid that hee fancied there to his great hinderance Loue stayed King Hannibal in Capua a long season laying all other his necessary affaires aside the which was no small hinderance to him for in the meane while his enemies inuaded a great part of his Countrey Likewise Iulius Caesar hee continued in Alexandria a long season not for the loue of one but hee lusted after many to his great infamy and disgrace That great Captain Holofernes whose sight made many thousands to quake yet he lost his life and was slaine by a woman Was not Herods loue so great to a woman that he caused Iohn Baptist to lose his head for her sake Wherefore to auoid the sight many times is the best rasor to cut off the occasion of the euill which commeth by women For had not Holofernes seene the beauty of Iudeth and marked the finenesse of her foote he had not lost his head by her If Herod had not seen Herodias daughter daunce hee had not so rashly granted her Saint Iohn Baptists head Had not Eua seene the Apple and also she was tempted with the beauty of the Serpent who as our Schoole-men do write that he shewed himselfe like a faire young man but had not she seene it I say shee had not eaten thereof to her owne griefe and many more By sight the wife of Putiphar was moued to lust after her seruant Ioseph It is said of Semir amis of Babylon that after her husbands death she waxed so vnsatiable in carnall lust that two men at one time could not satisfie her desire and so by her vnsatiablenesse at length all Persia grew full of whoores And likewise of one Venise a strumpet in Cipris it is supposed that by her fame and ill life she caused all Cipres at length to be full of queanes And of one faire Rodape in Egypt who was the first noted woman in that Countrey but at length all the whole countrey became full of Strumpets Is it not strange that the seed of one man should breed such woe vnto all men One said vnto his friend Come let vs goe see a pretty wench The other made this answer I haue said he shaken such fetters from my heeles and I will neuer goe where I know I shall repent afterwards but yet happily some may say vnto me If thou shouldest refuse the company or the curtesie of a woman then shee would account thee a soft-spirited foole a milk-sop a meacock But alas fond foole wilt thou more regard their babble then thine owne blisse or esteeme more their frumps then thine owne welfare dost thou not know that women alwaies striue against wisedome although many times it be to their vtter ouerthrow Like the Bee which is often hurt with her owne hony euen so women are often plagued with their owne conceit waying downe loue with discurtesie giuing him a weed which presents them with flowers as their catching in iest and their keeping in earnest and yet she thinks that she keepes her selfe blamelesse and in all ill vices she would goe nameesse but if shee carry it neuer so cleane yet in the end shee will be counted but for a cunny-catching queane and yet she will sweare that she will thriue as long as shee can finde one man aliue for shee thinks to doe all her knauery inuisible shee will haue a figge leafe to couer her name but when the fig leafe is dry and withered it doth shew their nakednesse to the world for take away their painted cloathes and then they looke like ragged wals take away their ruffes and they looke ruggedly their ●oyfes and stomachers and they are simple to behold their haire vntrust and they looke wildly and yet there are many which laies their nets to catch a pretty woman but hee which getteth such a prize gaines nothing by his aduenture but shame to the body and danger to the soule for the heat of the young bloud of these wantons leads many vnto destruction for this worlds pleasure It chaunts your minds and infeebleth your bodies with diseases it also scandalleth your good names but most of all it indangereth your soules how can it otherwise choose when lust and vncleannesse continually keepe them company gluttony and floth serueth them at the table pride and vaine-glory apparelleth them but these seruants will waxe weary of their seruice and in the end they shall haue no other seruants to attend them but onely shame griefe and repentance but then oh then you will say when it is too late Oh would to God that wee had beene more carefull of true glorious modesty and lesse cunning to keepe wantons company Oh therefore remember and thinke before-hand that euery sweet hath his sowre then buy not with a drop of hony a gallon of gall doe not thinke that this worlds pleasure will passe away with a trifle and that no sooner done but presently forgotten No no answer your selues that the punishment remaineth eternally and therefore better it were to be an addle egge then an euill bird For we are not borne for our selues to liue at pleasure but to take paines and to labour for the good of our Countrey yet so delightfull is our present sweetnesse that wee neuer remember the following sowre for youth are too too easie wonne and ouercome with the worlds vanities Oh too soone I say is youth in the blossomes deuoured with the caterpillers offoule lust and lasciuious desires the blacke Fiend of Hell by his inticing sweet sinne of lust drawes many young wittes to confusion for in time it drawes the heart bloud of your good names and that being once lost is neuer gotten againe Againe Lust causeth you to doe such foule deeds which makes your foreheads for euer afterwards seeme spotted with blacke shame and euerlasting infamy by which meanes your graues after death are closed vp with times scandall And yet Women are easily wooed and soone won got with an apple and lost with the paring young wittes are soone corrupted womens bright beauties breed curious thoughts and golden gifts easily ouercome wanton desires with changing modesty into pastimes of vanity and being once delighted therein continues in the same without repentance you are onely the peoples wonder and misfortunes banding ball tost vp downe the world with woe vpon woe yea ten thousand woes will bee galloping hard at your heeles and pursue you wheresoeuer you go for those of ill report cannot stay long in one place but rome and wander about the world and yet euer vnfortunate prospering in nothing forsaken and cast out from all ciuill companies still in feare lest authority with the sword of Iustice barre them of liberty Lo thus your liues are despised walking like night-Owles in misery and no comfort shall be your friend
