object_n to_o the_o other_o 4_o sense_n which_o be_v colour_n sound_v odour_n and_o savour_n but_o in_o asmuch_o as_o it_o be_v natural_o moist_a and_o dry_a &_o sometime_o also_o hot_a or_o cold_a

how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o many_o time_n we_o love_v those_o that_o we_o never_o see_v a._n this_o happen_v not_o often_o that_o we_o love_v so_o but_o those_o the_o which_o by_o

of_o lover_n be_v the_o renew_n of_o love_n a._n because_o that_o love_n be_v like_a to_o a_o flame_n that_o increase_v by_o the_o blast_n and_o by_o the_o wind_n likewise_o love_n augment_v by_o some_o disfavour_n that_o one_o lover_n receive_v from_o another_o so_o as_o they_o be_v sometime_o unassociate_v and_o retire_v but_o after_o they_o desire_v a_o reunion_n of_o their_o love_n with_o

a._n it_o be_v because_o that_o the_o jealousy_n that_o the_o one_o have_v against_o the_o other_o the_o which_o as_o a_o puff_n of_o wind_n re-inflames_a the_o fire_n so_o do_v the_o amorous_a passion_n this_o be_v therefore_o that_o the_o ancient_a poet_n feign_v very_o proper_o that_o venus_n know_v never_o how_o to_o put_v into_o credit_n her_o son_n cupid_n or_o love_n that_o the_o greek_n call_v eros_n until_o she_o have_v bring_v forth_o a_o anteros_n or_o counter-love_n q._n from_o whence_o come_v that_o we_o be_v ashamed_a to_o discover_v our_o amorous_a appetite_n when_o they_o surmount_v we_o and_o discover_v frank_o and_o without_o any_o shame_n our_o appetite_n of_o eat_v drink_v sleep_a and_o such_o like_a a._n it_o be_v because_o the_o amorous_a appetite_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o the_o life_n as_o the_o other_o be_v and_o the_o open_a practice_n thereof_o be_v shameful_o censure_v among_o the_o most_o politic_a nation_n and_o be_v shameful_a to_o be_v act_v but_o in_o the_o night_n and_o in_o hide_a corner_n it_o be_v not_o comely_a to_o speak_v lascivious_o but_o among_o nation_n which_o hold_v it_o no_o shame_n nor_o make_v it_o no_o more_o difficult_a to_o public_o play_v with_o woman_n in_o love-trick_n then_o to_o eat_v and_o drink_v and_o diogenes_n the_o cynic_n have_v no_o more_o shame_n in_o this_o action_n then_o to_o say_v he_o be_v plant_v a_o man_n as_o if_o he_o will_v say_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v as_o lawful_a to_o plant_v public_o man_n as_o tree_n q._n from_o whence_o come_v it_o that_o lover_n be_v ordinary_o pale_a and_o wan_a and_o that_o sometime_o the_o extremity_n of_o their_o body_n be_v quick_o hot_a and_o cold_a and_o all_o for_o love_v a._n they_o be_v win_v when_o they_o be_v in_o defiance_n fear_n or_o despair_v of_o their_o love_n because_o that_o such_o passion_n cause_v the_o blood_n to_o retire_v to_o the_o interior_a part_n by_o reason_n whereof_o also_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o body_n become_v cold_a for_o blood_n give_v the_o vermillion_a blush_n and_o heat_n together_o but_o when_o they_o be_v in_o hope_n or_o assurance_n to_o enjoy_v their_o love_n than_o they_o be_v red_a and_o have_v the_o extremity_n of_o their_o body_n hot_a the_o blood_n run_v and_o spread_v over_o all_o the_o part_n even_o to_o the_o extremity_n and_o with_o the_o blood_n the_o natural_a heat_n q._n which_o of_o the_o two_o be_v more_o constant_a in_o love_n man_n or_o woman_n a._n virgil_n and_o other_o poet_n have_v accuse_v woman_n of_o extreme_a lightness_n and_o inconstancy_n nevertheless_o it_o seem_v to_o i_o that_o reason_n and_o experience_n shall_v combat_v for_o they_o herein_o reason_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v more_o cold_a than_o man_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o cold_a be_v to_o hold_v and_o shut_v constant_o heat_n in_o the_o contrary_a the_o which_o abound_v more_o in_o man_n then_o in_o woman_n untie_v disunite_v and_o dissolve_v experience_n confirm_v the_o reason_n in_o that_o we_o ordinary_o see_v more_o woman_n deceive_v by_o man_n than_o man_n deceive_v by_o woman_n q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o woman_n love_v more_o ardent_o and_o constant_o those_o which_o have_v have_v their_o maidenhead_n a._n it_o be_v because_o a_o woman_n receive_v her_o perfection_n by_o couple_v with_o the_o male_a as_o the_o matter_n by_o union_n with_o the_o form_n and_o so_o woman_n love_v most_o those_o which_o have_v give_v beginning_n to_o this_o perfection_n or_o that_o those_o which_o have_v depucillate_v they_o hold_v the_o most_o fair_a and_o most_o rich_a gage_n of_o their_o love_n which_o be_v their_o virginity_n q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o mother_n love_n their_o infant_n more_o tender_o than_o their_o father_n a._n it_o be_v because_o they_o cost_v the_o mother_n more_o dear_a who_o have_v contribute_v to_o their_o generation_n with_o their_o father_n and_o beside_o they_o have_v bear_v and_o nourish_v they_o within_o their_o flank_n and_o after_o bring_v they_o forth_o with_o peril_n of_o their_o life_n also_o that_o the_o mother_n be_v very_o certain_a that_o they_o be_v her_o child_n but_o the_o father_n do_v but_o think_v it_o only_o that_o they_o be_v his_o not_o be_v whole_o certain_a that_o they_o be_v beget_v by_o his_o work_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o poet_n menander_n sing_v in_o his_o verse_n the_o infant_n be_v belove_v by_o his_o mother_n more_o tender_o then_o by_o his_o father_n because_o she_o well_o do_v know_v it_o be_v she_o own_o and_o he_o but_o think_v it_o fruit_n himself_o have_v sow_v and_o the_o same_o reason_n make_v homer_n to_o feign_v that_o telemachus_n the_o son_n of_o ulysses_n be_v ask_v who_o be_v his_o father_n answer_v in_o this_o sort_n my_o mother_n have_v i_o tell_v ulysses_n be_v the_o man_n i_o do_v believe_v it_o so_o for_o who_o tell_v better_a can_n q._n wherefore_o be_v it_o that_o father_n and_o mother_n love_n much_o more_o dear_o their_o child_n than_o they_o be_v belove_v of_o they_o a._n for_o three_o principal_a reason_n the_o one_o be_v that_o the_o father_n and_o mother_n love_v further_o their_o child_n to_o wit_n from_o their_o birth_n by_o which_o cause_n their_o love_n be_v more_o fortify_v and_o the_o child_n love_v not_o but_o since_o they_o have_v the_o judgement_n to_o acknowledge_v they_o for_o parent_n the_o other_o be_v that_o the_o father_n and_o mother_n love_v their_o child_n as_o themselves_o see_v a_o continuance_n and_o a_o progeny_n of_o their_o be_v to_o posterity_n and_o the_o child_n love_v they_o not_o but_o as_o be_v spring_v from_o their_o trunk_n without_o regard_v of_o they_o as_o propagator_n of_o their_o be_v the_o three_o that_o nature_n that_o always_o have_v regard_n to_o the_o conservation_n and_o promotion_n of_o
infallible_a nor_o otherwise_o can_v they_o resolve_v i_o wherefore_o child_n of_o the_o seven_o month_n live_v and_o those_o of_o the_o eight_o not_o if_o it_o be_v not_o as_o they_o say_v in_o
