that_o we_o can_v discourse_v hereof_o in_o term_n so_o seemly_a and_o modest_a as_o exact_a decency_n will_v require_v but_o if_o for_o this_o reason_n i_o shall_v forbear_v to_o insist_v upon_o any_o particular_a note_n or_o observation_n the_o whole_a business_n will_v be_v of_o small_a validity_n forasmuch_o as_o divers_a grave_a author_n be_v of_o opinion_n that_o wise_a man_n ordinary_o beget_v foolish_a child_n because_o in_o the_o act_n of_o copulation_n they_o abstain_v from_o certain_a diligence_n which_o be_v of_o importance_n that_o the_o son_n may_v partake_v of_o the_o

to_o employ_v that_o their_o child_n may_v be_v male_a and_o not_o female_a the_o three_o how_o they_o may_v become_v wise_a and_o not_o fool_n the_o four_o how_o they_o be_v to_o be_v order_v after_o their_o birth_n for_o preservation_n of_o their_o wit_n as_o to_o the_o first_o point_n divers_n both_o ancient_a and_o modern_a author_n have_v deliver_v their_o opinion_n to_o this_o effect_n that_o in_o a_o well_o order_v commonwealth_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v assign_v certain_a surveyor_n of_o marriage_n who_o shall_v have_v skill_n and_o judgement_n sufficient_a to_o look_v into_o the_o

in_o all_o respect_n but_o whether_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v of_o absolute_a necessity_n in_o a_o state_n or_o no_o let_v it_o lie_v upon_o the_o care_n and_o consideration_n of_o such_o as_o take_v upon_o they_o to_o manage_v and_o dispose_v the_o affair_n of_o commonwealth_n hypocrates_n and_o galen_n take_v much_o pain_n in_o prescribe_v certain_a precept_n about_o this_o matter_n with_o

so_o that_o if_o when_o nature_n have_v finish_v her_o work_n in_o the_o formation_n of_o man_n she_o will_v convert_v he_o into_o a_o woman_n there_o need_v nothing_o else_o to_o be_v do_v save_v
