be_v sure_o deliver_v before_o her_o time_n a_o woman_n be_v the_o most_o beautiful_a and_o rare_a péce_n of_o architecture_n that_o ever_o be_v erect_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o

neither_o be_v she_o make_v of_o base_a earth_n or_o clay_n as_o man_n be_v but_o of_o the_o pure_a of_o her_o husband_n flesh_n and_o blood_n be_v a_o rib_n take_v out_o of_o his_o side_n and_o next_o of_o all_o to_o his_o heart_n and_o therefore_o in_o my_o opinion_n it_o be_v against_o nature_n nay_o against_o the_o law_n of_o god_n to_o abuse_v or_o hurt_v the_o same_o be_v their_o own_o flesh_n and_o blood_n as_o too_o many_o do_v which_o be_v much_o to_o be_v lament_v but_o herein_o the_o old_a proverb_n be_v true_o verify_v that_o the_o weak_a still_o go_v to_o the_o wall_n and_o a_o low_a hedge_n be_v soon_o step_v over_o therefore_o you_o satirical_a antagonist_n and_o other_o that_o so_o bitter_o inveigh_v against_o poor_a woman_n if_o you_o will_v be_v please_v but_o to_o view_v the_o sacred_a scripture_n where_o you_o may_v find_v sufficient_a proof_n that_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v more_o due_a respect_n allot_v they_o than_o some_o of_o you_o will_v acknowledge_v or_o profess_v they_o shall_v enjoy_v and_o although_o man_n be_v the_o head_n and_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v endue_v with_o more_o wisdom_n and_o strength_n than_o a_o weak_a woman_n yet_o he_o ought_v not_o to_o triumph_v over_o or_o injure_v so_o harmless_a a_o soul_n without_o who_o man_n by_o no_o mean_n can_v subsist_v for_o do_v not_o god_n say_v of_o adam_n in_o the_o creation_n it_o be_v not_o good_a for_o man_n to_o be_v alone_o and_o further_o god_n say_v i_o will_v make_v he_o a_o helper_n meet_v for_o he_o therefore_o shall_v a_o man_n leave_v his_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o shall_v cleave_v unto_o his_o wife_n and_o they_o shall_v be_v one_o flesh_n thus_o you_o may_v perceive_v how_o necessary_a be_v the_o swét_v society_n and_o company_n of_o a_o virtuous_a woman_n to_o her_o husband_n for_o she_o be_v his_o helper_n at_o all_o assay_n be_v careful_a of_o her_o family_n kép_v he_o neat_a and_o decent_a both_o in_o woollen_a linnon_n and_o other_o necessary_n clean_o in_o dress_v his_o diet_n and_o a_o love_a nurse_n to_o he_o both_o in_o sickness_n and_o health_n wherefore_o a_o man_n ought_v to_o love_v his_o wife_n above_o all_o the_o world_n they_o be_v as_o the_o lord_n say_v one_o flesh_n if_o you_o will_v hear_v what_o st._n paul_n say_v of_o a_o woman_n it_o be_v thus_o a_o woman_n be_v the_o glory_n of_o man_n and_o solomon_n the_o wise_a of_o man_n say_v a_o virtuous_a woman_n be_v a_o crown_n to_o her_o husband_n now_o if_o a_o woman_n be_v a_o glory_n to_o her_o husband_n how_o be_v that_o man_n blessed_v which_o enjoy_v such_o a_o wife_n who_o do_v crown_v his_o heart_n with_o variety_n of_o content_n she_o like_o the_o fruitful_a vine_n bring_v forth_o swét_v child_n which_o be_v the_o blessing_n of_o god_n be_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o own_o loin_n who_o preserve_v if_o the_o lord_n please_v their_o father_n name_n to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n by_o their_o posterity_n and_o the_o wise_a man_n further_o say_v who_o so_o find_v such_o a_o wise_a obtain_v favour_n of_o the_o lord_n o_o ten_o thousand_o time_n happy_a be_v that_o man_n that_o with_o a_o wife_n can_v obtain_v such_o heavenly_a favour_n but_o solomon_n further_o add_v that_o the_o price_n of_o a_o virtuous_a woman_n be_v far_o above_o ruby_n and_o let_v she_o be_v as_o the_o love_a hind_n and_o pleasant_a roe_n and_o be_v thou_o ravish_v always_o with_o her_o love_n it_o be_v the_o common_a custom_n now_o adays_o among_o most_o man_n to_o hearken_v after_o wife_n with_o a_o great_a portion_n &_o rich_a friend_n never_o

and_o how_o high_a a_o rate_n the_o wise_a man_n do_v velue_v she_o at_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o though_o a_o good_a woman_n be_v as_o love_v as_o the_o hind_n and_o pleasant_a as_o the_o roe_n to_o
