pair_n of_o shears_n between_o with_o the_o papist_n she_o will_v be_v ceremonious_a for_o the_o money_n cross_n with_o the_o puritan_n she_o will_v be_v precise_a cast_v her_o eye_n up_o when_o her_o

of_o the_o sect_n of_o the_o family_n of_o love_n they_o differ_v only_o in_o this_o the_o familist_n do_v hold_v opinion_n that_o only_o when_o the_o husband_n sleep_v that_o the_o wife_n may_v take_v as_o much_o liberty_n as_o a_o cat_n to_o play_v etc._n etc._n but_o the_o bawd_n do_v allow_v a_o large_a toleration_n and_o admit_v either_o man_n or_o woman_n to_o have_v access_n and_o use_v their_o exercise_n both_o sleep_a and_o wake_v she_o be_v indeed_o addict_v to_o any_o religion_n or_o all_o or_o none_o no_o further_o than_o her_o ease_n and_o profit_n do_v incite_v she_o for_o she_o know_v that_o charity_n be_v a_o good_a huswife_n and_o will_v begin_v she_o own_o work_n at_o home_o first_o in_o which_o respect_n a_o bawd_n hold_v a_o high_a point_n of_o doctrine_n to_o love_v herself_o better_a than_o she_o do_v all_o the_o world_n beside_o and_o in_o this_o she_o differ_v much_o from_o a_o roman_a catholic_a that_o she_o build_v not_o upon_o her_o work_n or_o have_v any_o hope_n to_o be_v save_v by_o her_o merit_n and_o shall_v persecution_n come_v she_o will_v be_v no_o martyr_n she_o will_v neither_o hang_v for_o one_o religion_n or_o burn_v for_o another_o she_o know_v that_o she_o come_v a_o raw_a creature_n into_o the_o world_n and_o her_o resolution_n be_v that_o neither_o religion_n or_o conscience_n shall_v send_v she_o roast_v out_o of_o

a_o bawd_n may_v set_v up_o with_o little_a worth_n or_o a_o thing_n of_o naught_o and_o many_o time_n her_o luck_n be_v so_o fortunate_a that_o she_o will_v chimmist_n extract_v out_o of_o sin_n
