perish_v in_o water_n for_o as_o pliny_n write_v and_o experience_n testify_v the_o woman_n lie_v with_o her_o face_n downward_o nature_n spare_v the_o modesty_n of_o the_o dead_a but_o the_o man_n

the_o head_n in_o which_o head_n the_o chief_a part_n be_v the_o countenance_n the_o head_n in_o man_n be_v deform_v with_o baldness_n the_o woman_n contrariwise_o by_o a_o great_a privilege_n of_o nature_n wax_v not_o bald_a the_o countenance_n moreover_o in_o man_n be_v often_o time_n so_o soil_v with_o a_o most_o odious_a beard_n and_o cover_v with_o nasty_a hair_n that_o they_o can_v scarce_o be_v discern_v from_o beast_n in_o woman_n contrariwise_o the_o face_n always_o abide_v pure_a and_o comely_a hence_o there_o be_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o twelve_o table_n that_o woman_n shall_v not_o shave_v their_o cheek_n lest_o when_o a_o beard_n shall_v bud_v forth_o their_o modesty_n may_v be_v hide_v and_o it_o be_v to_o all_o for_o a_o argument_n of_o the_o cleanliness_n of_o woman_n that_o when_o a_o woman_n be_v once_o clean_o wash_v as_o often_o as_o she_o wash_v afterwards_o in_o clean_a water_n the_o water_n receive_v not_o the_o least_o foulness_n but_o man_n when_o he_o have_v be_v wash_v often_o time_n very_o clean_o he_o muddi_v and_o soil_v the_o water_n moreover_o by_o the_o ordinance_n of_o nature_n woman_n through_o secret_a place_n every_o month_n expel_v their_o superfluity_n but_o man_n be_v continual_o expel_v through_o the_o face_n the_o most_o comely_a part_n of_o the_o body_n furthermore_o since_o among_o all_o other_o live_a creature_n it_o be_v give_v only_o to_o man_n to_o look_v with_o the_o countenance_n erect_v towards_o heaven_n nature_n and_o fortune_n have_v respect_v woman_n chief_o in_o this_o and_o be_v so_o propitious_a that_o if_o by_o chance_n she_o fall_v she_o almost_o always_o fall_v upon_o her_o back_n and_o seldom_o or_o never_o on_o her_o head_n or_o face_n there_o be_v another_o thing_n which_o we_o may_v not_o omit_v do_v not_o we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o procreation_n of_o mankind_n nature_n prefer_v woman_n before_o 14._o man_n which_o be_v chief_o perspicuous_a because_o the_o woman_n seed_n alone_o as_o galen_n and_o avicen_n say_v that_o be_v the_o matter_n and_o nutriment_n of_o the_o child_n not_o the_o man_n because_o it_o enter_v into_o the_o woman_n as_o a_o accident_n into_o the_o substance_n for_o as_o the_o law_n say_v that_o be_v the_o great_a and_o chief_a office_n of_o woman_n to_o conceive_v and_o to_o nourish_v the_o thing_n conceive_v for_o which_o cause_n we_o see_v that_o many_o be_v like_o their_o mother_n because_o they_o be_v procreate_v of_o the_o blood_n of_o they_o and_o that_o hold_v also_o very_o much_o in_o the_o habit_n of_o the_o body_n always_o in_o the_o manner_n if_o the_o mother_n be_v foolish_a also_o the_o son_n be_v foolish_a if_o the_o mother_n be_v prudent_a the_o son_n be_v prudent_a but_o contrary_a wise_a in_o father_n if_o they_o be_v wise_a for_o the_o most_o part_n they_o beget_v foolish_a child_n and_o foolish_a father_n wise_a child_n provide_v always_o the_o mother_n be_v wise_a neither_o be_v there_o any_o other_o reason_n why_o mother_n love_v their_o child_n more_o than_o father_n except_o that_o because_o the_o mother_n be_v sensible_a they_o have_v more_o of_o their_o own_o substance_n than_o the_o father_n for_o the_o same_o cause_n also_o i_o think_v it_o be_v natural_a to_o we_o to_o be_v more_o affect_v towards_o the_o mother_n then_o towards_o the_o father_n so_o as_o we_o seem_v but_o to_o affect_v the_o
