A31554	The Challenge sent by a young lady to Sir Thomas &c., or, The female war wherein the present dresses and humours &c. of the fair sex are vigorously attackt by men of quality, and as bravely defended by Madam Godfrey and other ingenious ladies who set their names to every challenge : the whole encounter consists of six hunded letters pro and con on all disputable points relating to women, and is the first battle of this nature that was ever fought in England.

with_o tattle_v and_o laughter_n let_v the_o satyr_n of_o our_o antagonist_n fall_v as_o hard_o as_o he_o see_v convenient_a on_o such_o as_o these_o and_o let_v he_o if_o he_o please_v whip_v they_o out_o of_o our_o church_n like_o other_o troublesome_a animal_n but_o then_o let_v he_o be_v sure_a not_o to_o overlook_v any_o of_o his_o own_o sex_n who_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o same_o miscarriage_n and_o let_v he_o not_o unjust_o blame_v those_o who_o be_v free_a from_o it_o we_o be_v all_o flesh_n and_o blood_n there_o be_v no_o dispute_n of_o it_o both_o sex_n be_v mould_v of_o the_o same_o clay_n we_o do_v not_o pretend_v to_o be_v angel_n though_o our_o flatterer_n will_v sometime_o persuade_v we_o so_o in_o order_n to_o make_v we_o like_o themselves_o if_o they_o find_v our_o weakness_n why_o be_v they_o so_o ungenerous_a as_o to_o make_v we_o betray_v it_o why_o can_v they_o not_o desist_v from_o tempt_v we_o even_o when_o we_o take_v sanctuary_n to_o avoid_v they_o but_o yet_o they_o can_v affirm_v without_o injustice_n that_o they_o find_v our_o sex_n of_o such_o i_o inder_v constitution_n since_o they_o know_v many_o of_o their_o own_o who_o have_v dog_v a_o lady_n to_o church_n often_o enough_o without_o see_v so_o much_o as_o her_o face_n while_o they_o be_v there_o at_o least_o if_o that_o can_v not_o be_v avoid_v meet_v no_o encouragement_n to_o their_o amorous_a folly_n but_o all_o their_o glance_n and_o ogling_n lose_v in_o the_o air_n like_o the_o curse_n they_o cast_v on_o the_o insensible_a fair_a saint_n for_o not_o return_v they_o as_o bad_a as_o we_o be_v in_o general_n nay_o as_o much_o deprave_v as_o the_o other_o sex_n real_o be_v i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o believe_v so_o ill_o even_o of_o they_o as_o this_o gentleman_n will_v insinuate_v only_o to_o blast_v we_o not_o unlike_o the_o envious_a wretch_n that_o pull_v out_o one_o of_o his_o own_o eye_n that_o his_o neighbour_n may_v lose_v both_o he_o represent_v thing_n indeed_o in_o a_o more_o deplorable_a condition_n than_o i_o will_v hope_v they_o deserve_v our_o church_n like_o those_o in_o other_o country_n little_o better_o than_o theatre_n and_o the_o same_o intrigue_n manage_v in_o both_o or_o rather_o as_o they_o be_v of_o old_a and_o as_o the_o turkish_a spy_n describe_v some_o other_o like_o the_o old_a heathenish_a temple_n of_o cupid_n and_o venus_n pity_v those_o who_o abuse_v they_o shall_v ever_o enter_v they_o unless_o there_o be_v more_o hope_n of_o their_o reformation_n by_o '_o they_o but_o i_o can_v think_v those_o thing_n be_v so_o common_a as_o he_o will_v have_v we_o believe_v i_o declare_v i_o have_v know_v but_o few_o such_o instance_n and_o i_o never_o hear_v you_o madam_n mention_v many_o more_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o in_o five_o or_o six_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o people_n there_o may_v be_v some_o few_o who_o make_v this_o the_o end_n of_o their_o come_n thither_o but_o what_o just_a reflection_n can_v this_o be_v upon_o all_o the_o rest_n who_o may_v be_v as_o reasonable_o charge_v with_o pick_v pocket_n because_o it_o be_v notorious_a that_o many_o wretch_n come_v constant_o to_o church_n with_o no_o other_o intention_n it_o be_v indubitable_o evident_a that_o there_o may_v be_v hypocrisy_n in_o frequent_v the_o public_a worship_n but_o it_o be_v as_o certain_a that_o in_o ordinary_a case_n there_o can_v be_v no_o religion_n without_o it_o admit_v but_o this_o which_o i_o do_v not_o fat_a myself_o in_o my_o own_o cause_n will_v appear_v very_o reasonable_a and_o it_o will_v be_v soon_o visible_a whether_o sex_n have_v more_o religion_n the_o gentleman_n civil_o remit_v we_o to_o the_o session_n paper_n to_o make_v the_o computation_n but_o i_o must_v ask_v his_o pardon_n if_o i_o can_v think_v that_o a_o fair_a way_n of_o trial_n suppose_v it_o true_a which_o he_o assert_n there_o may_v be_v many_o reason_n assign_v for_o it_o without_o grant_v woman_n be_v the_o more_o wicked_a for_o when_o man_n have_v bring_v they_o into_o the_o snare_n of_o the_o law_n they_o general_o leave_v they_o and_o can_v shift_v for_o themselves_o well_o enough_o beside_o there_o be_v some_o capital_a fault_n whereof_o man_n can_v be_v guilty_a and_o when_o they_o be_v obnoxious_a to_o the_o law_n have_v many_o more_o convenience_n for_o make_v their_o escape_n than_o a_o weak_a helpless_a woman_n these_o i_o take_v to_o be_v some_o of_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o sometime_o find_v more_o woman_n in_o the_o black_a lift_v then_o man_n i_o say_v sometime_o because_o i_o know_v the_o contrary_a often_o happen_v but_o now_o we_o have_v wait_v on_o our_o antagonist_n to_o the_o jayl_n i_o hope_v he_o will_v go_v with_o we_o to_o church_n without_o suspect_v we_o have_v any_o design_n upon_o he_o by_o draw_v he_o thither_o we_o will_v not_o confine_v he_o to_o st._n bride_n neither_o let_v he_o choose_v any_o church_n in_o town_n and_o he_o will_v easy_o see_v how_o far_o the_o man_n be_v out-numbered_a by_o the_o woman_n who_o without_o compulsion_n fill_v those_o seat_n which_o will_v be_v very_o empty_a without_o '_o they_o and_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v notwithstanding_o all_o his_o wrath_n against_o we_o he_o do_v real_o go_v to_o church_n now_o and_o then_o himself_o for_o he_o seem_v to_o have_v remember_v several_a pretty_a thing_n about_o religion_n which_o we_o own_o as_o well_o as_o he_o aught_o to_o be_v principal_o inward_a and_o silent_a but_o yet_o if_o it_o be_v there_o he_o know_v it_o will_v work_v outward_a nor_o will_v he_o i_o hope_v affirm_v with_o many_o other_o that_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o any_o public_a worship_n the_o next_o bad_a thing_n he_o lay_v to_o our_o charge_n be_v superstition_n wherein_o he_o

who_o be_v too_o religious_a too_o unreasonable_o afraid_a of_o the_o supreme_a be_v may_v yet_o in_o time_n have_v just_a notion_n of_o he_o while_o a_o desperate_a atheist_n be_v like_a to_o

their_o name_n better_a than_o we_o nor_o any_o other_o such_o universal_a poisoner_n and_o corrupter_n of_o mankind_n of_o our_o sex_n although_o we_o have_v have_v those_o as_o famous_a for_o many_o

we_o be_v not_o like_a to_o err_v and_o freedom_n from_o vice_n i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o good_a degree_n of_o virtue_n and_o innocence_n a_o good_a foundation_n for_o religion_n they_o may_v discourse_v while_o they_o please_v of_o know_v the_o world_n and_o the_o advantage_n of_o experience_n we_o envy_v they_o not_o their_o dear_a buy_a knowledge_n but_o think_v those_o who_o know_v
