of_o those_o ceremony_n some_o child_n as_o well_o as_o man_n in_o year_n be_v acquaint_v with_o all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o that_o matter_n thus_o i_o will_v only_o tell_v you_o that_o after_o

on_o their_o parent_n which_o hinder_v they_o from_o acknowledge_v the_o sovereignty_n of_o their_o husband_n and_o from_o render_v themselves_o subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o obedience_n as_o i_o be_v very_o much_o use_v to_o my_o mother_n company_n i_o imagine_v at_o first_o he_o do_v i_o a_o great_a injury_n but_o afterward_o have_v take_v all_o thing_n into_o serious_a consideration_n i_o be_v overjoy_v to_o find_v he_o so_o resolve_v for_o though_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o any_o design_n of_o commit_v towards_o he_o any_o act_n of_o infidelity_n by_o reason_n that_o to_o speak_v the_o

and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o case_n it_o be_v better_a to_o trust_v to_o parent_n than_o to_o stranger_n which_o be_v beyond_o all_o dispute_n thus_o i_o take_v two_o room_n for_o the_o poor_a woman_n
