those_o rare_a thing_n i_o be_o think_v say_v he_o what_o a_o world_n of_o thing_n be_v here_o i_o do_v not_o want_v for_o what_o be_v more_o than_o we_o use_v be_v more_o than_o we_o need_v i_o be_o

dress_n reckon_v by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n the_o sum_n total_a of_o they_o there_o name_v to_o be_v but_o twenty_o one_o which_o clear_o show_v the_o vast_a difference_n between_o the_o twenty_o one_o year_n of_o man_n and_o the_o twenty_o one_o dress_n of_o woman_n for_o by_o the_o law_n of_o our_o kingdom_n all_o man_n year_n under_o one_o and_o twenty_o be_v not_o allow_v to_o reach_v discretion_n but_o our_o prophet_n seem_v here_o to_o say_v that_o by_o the_o law_n of_o god_n all_o woman_n dress_n that_o amount_v to_o much_o more_o that_o pass_v beyond_o twenty_o one_o must_v exceed_v all_o discretion_n for_o certain_o they_o must_v be_v too_o many_o for_o woman_n to_o wear_v who_o god_n declare_v too_o many_o for_o he_o to_o like_v and_o though_o without_o any_o dispute_n it_o be_v a_o sin_n to_o doubt_n that_o those_o ornamental_a dress_n which_o the_o creator_n think_v too_o many_o no_o woman_n creature_n but_o aught_o to_o esteem_v more_o than_o enough_o yet_o so_o

which_o exact_o suit_v the_o true_a beauty_n of_o religion_n which_o the_o apostle_n say_v be_v of_o great_a price_n in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n for_o that_o will_v render_v woman_n of_o so_o
