a_o very_a bad_a figure_n but_o my_o design_n here_o be_v that_o because_o i_o do_v in_o my_o youth_n persuade_v some_o young_a wife_n to_o do_v what_o they_o ought_v not_o i_o will_v now_o in_o my_o old_a age_n persuade_v all_o young_a wife_n and_o woman_n to_o do_v what_o they_o ought_v which_o be_v to_o remember_v their_o creator_n in_o the_o day_n of_o their_o youth_n and_o to_o strive_v more_o for_o the_o true_a last_a beauty_n of_o holiness_n than_o the_o slight_a fade_a one_o of_o a_o fine_a face_n which_o be_v only_o a_o mere_a outside_n beauty_n but_o the_o beauty_n of_o holiness_n be_v like_o the_o king_n daughter_n all_o glorious_a within_o which_o will_v bring_v one_o a_o agreeable_a satisfaction_n whilst_o one_o life_n and_o a_o sweet_a peace_n of_o conscience_n when_o one_o die_v the_o other_o but_o high_a and_o proud_a vain_a thought_n whilst_o her_o beauty_n live_v and_o sad_a fretting_n and_o discontent_n when_o she_o find_v it_o die_v for_o usual_o as_o the_o mistress_n beauty_n leave_v she_o so_o her_o lover_n love_n leave_v he_o for_o effect_n will_v follow_v their_o cause_n and_o though_o many_o of_o the_o vain_a modish_a lady_n be_v guilty_a of_o pride_n vanity_n and_o perhaps_o what_o be_v worse_o than_o both_o yet_o most_o of_o they_o be_v so_o self-conceited_a of_o their_o own_o merit_n as_o they_o have_v rather_o judge_v the_o world_n censorious_a than_o themselves_o faulty_a like_o the_o philosopher_n that_o lose_v his_o sight_n and_o yet_o will_v not_o believe_v himself_o blind_a but_o that_o the_o room_n be_v dark_a and_o now_o madam_n be_v towards_o the_o end_n of_o my_o letter_n i_o shall_v speak_v as_o all_o christian_n do_v or_o at_o least_o ought_v to_o do_v at_o the_o end_n of_o their_o life_n which_o be_v to_o speak_v the_o truth_n from_o the_o bottom_n of_o their_o heart_n as_o i_o be_o sure_a i_o now_o do_v by_o say_v your_o virtuous_a life_n exemplary_a piety_n and_o your_o extraordinary_a charity_n which_o be_v not_o like_a that_o of_o most_o great_a lady_n who_o bounty_n extend_v no_o
heart_n like_o strong_a fortress_n have_v be_v lose_v by_o too_o great_a a_o dependency_n upon_o their_o own_o strength_n and_o too_o mean_v a_o undervalue_v of_o other_o attempt_n against_o they_o i_o shall_v therefore_o advise_v all_o young_a lady_n especial_o virgin_n by_o no_o mean_n on_o any_o account_n to_o suffer_v their_o beauty_n to_o lie_v under_o the_o press_a temptation_n of_o

young_a man_n for_o the_o eye_n be_v as_o well_o the_o pulse_n of_o the_o mind_n as_o the_o door_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o no_o love_n flame_n can_v enter_v into_o the_o heart_n but_o it_o must_v first_o enter_v the_o eye_n as_o we_o see_v the_o sun_n itself_o still_o send_v his_o light_n before_o he_o bring_v his_o heat_n next_o lady_n remember_v that_o the_o scripture_n couple_n with_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n the_o pride_n of_o life_n as_o a_o lesson_n to_o teach_v you_o that_o you_o ought_v as_o much_o to_o well_o order_n your_o look_n as_o to_o regulate_v your_o life_n which_o you_o may_v perform_v much_o the_o easy_a and_o better_o if_o you_o will_v but_o serious_o reflect_v on_o the_o way_n and_o mean_v young_a gallant_n use_v in_o make_v their_o approach_n towards_o gain_v their_o mistress_n i_o do_v not_o here_o intend_v as_o to_o the_o make_v they_o mistress_n in_o order_n to_o be_v wife_n but_o misses_n which_o be_v usual_o after_o this_o kind_n of_o manner_n first_o they_o present_v they_o with_o swarm_n of_o praise_n and_o compliment_n thick_o garnish_v with_o great_a oath_n and_o repeat_v vow_n of_o a_o never_o die_a love_n and_o a_o never_o fail_a

which_o when_o they_o once_o come_v to_o admit_v of_o frequent_a parley_n seldom_o hold_v out_o after_o long_a sieges_n but_o yield_v to_o a_o surrender_n certain_o if_o young_a gallant_n can_v by_o their_o eager_a court_v their_o mistress_n but_o gain_n of_o they_o some_o return_n of_o compassion_n and_o esteem_n next_o of_o course_n follow_v a_o favourable_a like_n of_o they_o and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o very_a great_a difficulty_n after_o such_o prosperous_a advance_n to_o create_v in_o they_o the_o beginning_n of_o a_o love_n fondness_n and_o fondness_n in_o a_o young_a woman_n heart_n like_o a_o weighty_a body_n down_o a_o steep_a hill_n it_o seldom_o stop_v till_o it_o run_v to_o the_o very_a bottom_n and_o when_o a_o gallant_a have_v work_v his_o mistress_n into_o such_o

upon_o her_o father_n will_n she_o may_v indeed_o obey_v what_o please_v he_o but_o she_o can_v love_v but_o what_o please_v herself_o love_n be_v to_o be_v lead_v not_o draw_v virtue_n may_v make_v she_o a_o good_a wife_n but_o love_n can_v only_o make_v she_o a_o fond_a one_o and_o content_v a_o happy_a one_o now_o though_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o natural_a heat_n still_o work_v strong_a in_o all_o young_a woman_n temper_n yet_o it_o be_v far_o from_o be_v certain_a that_o woman_n love_n to_o their_o husband_n do_v still_o work_v strong_a in_o all_o young_a wife_n mind_n for_o though_o a_o brisk_a heat_n still_o wait_v on_o a_o woman_n constitution_n whilst_o she_o be_v a_o young_a woman_n yet_o a_o brisk_a love_n to_o a_o husband_n do_v not_o still_o attend_v a_o woman_n inclination_n whilst_o she_o be_v a_o young_a wife_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v plain_a because_o often_o a_o woman_n love_n and_o like_n in_o the_o choice_n of_o a_o husband_n only_a spring_n from_o and_o be_v but_o the_o bare_a issue_n of_o she_o then_o first_o fancy_n which_o perhaps_o have_v not_o the_o least_o mixture_n of_o good_a reason_n or_o true_a consideration_n in_o

of_o long_a continuance_n and_o must_v last_v as_o long_o as_o her_o youthful_a health_n do_v whereas_o the_o fickle_a love_n to_o the_o husband_n of_o her_o mere_a fancy_n may_v possible_o not_o
