1695._o to_o n._n b_o esq_n at_o enfield_n i_o receive_v from_o you_o late_o a_o very_a sententious_a and_o grave_a epistle_n suitable_a indeed_o to_o the_o importance_n and_o dignity_n of_o the_o subject_a be_v in_o praise_n of_o matrimony_n but_o why_o you_o shall_v address_v such_o a_o discourse_n to_o i_o of_o all_o mankind_n be_v what_o at_o first_o i_o can_v not_o easy_o comprehend_v you_o know_v very_o well_o i_o be_v never_o one_o of_o those_o witty_a gentleman_n who_o be_v always_o rail_v at_o woman_n and_o marriage_n as_o some_o people_n make_v speech_n against_o the_o court_n with_o a_o design_n to_o get_v place_n there_o i_o find_v the_o trick_n miscarry_v so_o often_o and_o see_v so_o many_o of_o these_o satirist_n live_v with_o the_o scandal_n of_o old_a bachelor_n that_o i_o be_o resolve_v to_o make_v my_o peace_n with_o the_o fair_a as_o soon_o as_o possible_a you_o be_v not_o whole_o ignorant_a of_o this_o disposition_n of_o i_o when_o you_o write_v your_o letter_n and_o on_o serious_a consideration_n of_o your_o proceed_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o plain_o that_o unless_o you_o have_v some_o further_a design_n in_o it_o you_o will_v have_v throw_v away_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o very_o good_a morality_n abundance_n of_o fine_a say_n and_o quotation_n to_o no_o purpose_n in_o the_o world_n they_o have_v be_v all_o lose_v on_o i_o for_o i_o be_v as_o full_o persuade_v before_o of_o what_o you_o say_v as_o i_o believe_v you_o to_o be_v sincere_a when_o you_o write_v it_o however_o i_o be_o surprise_v at_o your_o excellent_a temper_n and_o moderation_n for_o upon_o some_o account_n i_o shall_v have_v soon_o expect_v from_o you_o a_o satire_n than_o a_o panegirick_a on_o a_o marry_a life_n and_o when_o you_o speak_v well_o of_o it_o it_o must_v be_v confess_v you_o show_v yourself_o the_o most_o impartial_a and_o free_a from_o prejudice_n of_o any_o man_n since_o your_o own_o provocation_n can_v tempt_v you_o to_o speak_v against_o your_o conscience_n this_o letter_n of_o you_o be_v it_o to_o be_v publish_a and_o your_o circumstance_n a_o little_a better_o know_v be_v enough_o to_o convert_v some_o of_o our_o most_o obstinate_a marriage-hater_n they_o will_v see_v here_o a_o person_n who_o have_v suffer_v from_o marriage_n the_o injury_n of_o relation_n and_o the_o inconvenience_n of_o a_o wife_n yet_o offer_v himself_o to_o vindicate_v it_o to_o the_o last_o this_o will_v be_v a_o strong_a argument_n for_o it_o than_o any_o of_o those_o you_o have_v use_v to_o i_o and_o they_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o fancy_v there_o be_v those_o secret_a pleasure_n in_o this_o bless_a state_n perhaps_o in_o the_o disturbance_n of_o it_o which_o none_o know_v but_o such_o as_o be_v in_o it_o my_o friend_n mr._n oldmixon_n have_v see_v your_o letter_n and_o join_v with_o i_o in_o admire_v the_o sagacity_n of_o it_o he_o be_v no_o marriage-hater_n i_o assure_v you_o but_o what_o he_o say_v make_v he_o wonder_v most_o be_v that_o be_v

you_o shall_v never_o take_v the_o liberty_n of_o a_o bachelor_n in_o this_o he_o think_v you_o may_v have_v some_o relief_n if_o you_o be_v not_o so_o well_o content_v and_o so_o much_o in_o love_n with_o your_o condition_n and_o you_o must_v certain_o be_v very_o well_o please_v with_o it_o when_o you_o be_v always_o tempt_v other_o to_o conform_v to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o matrimony_n unless_o
