of_o one_o vice_n but_o the_o fruitful_a parent_n of_o many_o if_o not_o most_o now_o remember_v this_o that_o though_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o a_o woman_n may_v be_v virtuous_a and_o not_o discreet_a in_o some_o case_n yet_o it_o be_v impossible_a in_o any_o case_n that_o a_o woman_n can_v be_v indiscreet_a by_o be_v virtuous_a since_o discretion_n be_v a_o part_n of_o virtue_n i_o shall_v not_o here_o give_v it_o as_o a_o general_a rule_n without_o any_o exception_n that_o a_o virtuous_a woman_n must_v still_o make_v a_o fond_a wife_n for_o virtue_n be_v still_o the_o gift_n of_o god_n but_o a_o husband_n be_v often_o the_o gift_n of_o a_o father_n and_o sometime_o force_v by_o he_o and_o not_o choose_v by_o she_o and_o i_o will_v appeal_v to_o all_o man_n and_o womenkind_n if_o this_o be_v not_o a_o great_a and_o real_a truth_n that_o a_o wife_n be_v like_n and_o love_v a_o husband_n must_v depend_v sole_o upon_o her_o own_o free_a choice_n and_o not_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 its_o composure_n but_o be_v mere_o to_o gratify_v her_o passionate_a amorous_a inclination_n and_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o love_n or_o rather_o frenzy_n be_v usual_o but_o like_o a_o fire_n of_o straw_n which_o though_o it_o light_v quick_a and_o burn_v fierce_a yet_o it_o consume_v soon_o and_o this_o cause_v her_o love-flame_n to_o last_v no_o long_o than_o her_o love-fancy_n which_o be_v usual_o but_o of_o a_o short_a duration_n as_o well_o of_o a_o fickle_a composition_n but_o the_o natural_a temper_n of_o a_o young_a healthful_a woman_n constitution_n its_o operation_n may_v be_v 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 last_v so_o long_o as_o her_o youth_n or_o health_n either_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o many_o of_o the_o hot_a fiery_a venus-brood_n of_o young_a wife_n love_v their_o husband_n more_o for_o the_o man_n sake_n than_o the_o man_n for_o the_o husband_n sake_n for_o the_o man_n part_n often_o create_v pleasure_n but_o the_o husband_n part_n often_o occasion_n trouble_v which_o make_v many_o of_o the_o young_a mettle_n sort_n of_o wife_n to_o like_v well_o enough_o couple_v with_o their_o husband_n by_o night_n who_o can_v with_o gusto_n relish_v their_o single_a company_n by_o day_n for_o they_o can_v then_o entertain_v themselves_o with_o sweet_a variety_n which_o plain_o demonstrate_v what_o kind_n of_o divertisement_n such_o sort_n of_o wife_n love_n to_o their_o husband_n aim_n at_o and_o be_v delight_v in_o i_o shall_v not_o here_o venture_v to_o launch_v my_o discourse_n into_o the_o vast_a ocean_n of_o reason_n and_o pretence_n that_o there_o happen_v in_o husband_n love_v or_o hate_v their_o wife_n nor_o shall_v i_o here_o pretend_v in_o the_o least_o to_o mark_v out_o the_o just_a bound_n and_o true_a measure_n that_o husband_n ought_v to_o use_v in_o the_o trust_v or_o mistrust_v their_o wife_n carriage_n in_o the_o management_n of_o their_o chastity_n only_o thus_o much_o i_o may_v safe_o write_v that_o there_o must_v be_v great_a care_n take_v in_o raise_v or_o fall_v this_o spring_n that_o must_v turn_v this_o engine_n for_o over-liberty_n or_o over-watchfulness_n and_o restraint_n of_o husband_n to_o wife_n be_v of_o such_o dangerous_a consequence_n that_o a_o failure_n of_o the_o exact_a proportion_n and_o just_a measure_n of_o either_o side_n may_v prove_v of_o fatal_a consequence_n therefore_o i_o shall_v only_o say_v that_o a_o wise_a husband_n ought_v to_o observe_v a_o moderate_a care_n between_o both_o these_o extremity_n which_o be_v the_o most_o discreet_a and_o secure_a way_n and_o doubtless_o a_o politic_a husband_n ought_v so_o wary_o and_o prudent_o to_o steer_v his_o course_n and_o sober_o and_o careful_o to_o manage_v his_o carriage_n towards_o his_o wife_n as_o to_o avoid_v show_v too_o great_a a_o jealousy_n of_o she_o or_o grant_v too_o great_a a_o liberty_n to_o she_o lest_o the_o first_o may_v make_v she_o what_o she_o shall_v not_o be_v and_o the_o second_o cause_n she_o to_o make_v he_o what_o he_o will_v not_o be_v but_o it_o be_v more_o than_o time_n to_o beg_v your_o pardon_n for_o have_v lead_v your_o thought_n as_o far_o as_o italy_n the_o garden_n of_o the_o world_n only_o to_o

conclude_v this_o branch_n of_o my_o discourse_n by_o only_o add_v that_o many_o virtuous_a wife_n cause_n many_o ill_a discourse_n and_o sharp_a reflect_a censure_n on_o their_o reputation_n and_o

in_o the_o manner_n of_o dress_n as_o well_o as_o other_o thing_n which_o woman_n by_o the_o rule_n of_o discretion_n and_o decency_n and_o the_o order_n of_o civil_a society_n aught_o to_o observe_v and_o follow_v according_a to_o the_o general_a practice_n that_o such_o of_o their_o own_o quality_n wear_v and_o the_o country_n they_o live_v in_o use_n and_o the_o best_a and_o most_o virtuous_a person_n they_o be_v neighbour_n to_o those_o to_o be_v follower_n of_o and_o to_o make_v a_o strict_a friendship_n with_o for_o man_n common_o judge_v of_o woman_n inclination_n by_o the_o company_n they_o make_v choice_n of_o and_o be_v delight_v in_o there_o be_v another_o sort_n of_o virtuous_a wife_n which_o be_v the_o last_o sort_v i_o shall_v speak_v of_o who_o for_o all_o their_o great_a

time_n suffer_v the_o public_a censure_n of_o entertain_v a_o he-friend_n as_o a_o dear_a intimate_a and_o constant_a companion_n and_o hope_v the_o good_a name_n of_o friend_n will_v smother_v the_o bad_a one_o of_o gallant_a indeed_o the_o name_n of_o friend_n may_v serve_v as_o a_o blind_a against_o a_o wife_n own_o fear_n but_o it_o can_v still_o prove_v a_o defence_n against_o other_o tongue_n so_o vile_a and_o censorious_a be_v our_o present_a age_n as_o most_o of_o our_o young_a man_n discourse_n of_o handsome_a woman_n be_v so_o very_a satyrical_n as_o they_o general_o interpret_v young_a man_n and_o woman_n entertain_v one_o another_o to_o be_v but_o courtship_n that_o savour_v more_o of_o pure_a venus-love_n than_o true_a platonic_a friendship_n and_o i_o can_v too_o true_o say_v before_o handsome_a woman_n can_v make_v all_o young_a man_n courtship_n to_o pass_v for_o true_a friendship_n they_o must_v weed_v out_o of_o this_o country_n all_o the_o busy_a sharp_a ill-natured_a censure_n in_o it_o who_o snatch_v up_o any_o pretension_n to_o worry_v and_o devour_v a_o woman_n reputation_n

as_o the_o worst_a though_o not_o so_o much_o and_o with_o this_o great_a difference_n that_o a_o pious_a woman_n sin_v against_o her_o will_n a_o wicked_a woman_n with_o it_o in_o the_o first_o it_o be_v but_o the_o effect_n of_o the_o frailty_n of_o humane_a nature_n in_o the_o second_o it_o be_v the_o foul_a issue_n of_o vicious_a inclination_n and_o habitual_a practice_n therefore_o it_o be_v worth_a such_o woman_n still_a carry_n in_o their_o mind_n this_o useful_a memorandum_n that_o it_o be_v always_o a_o bad_a act_n to_o commit_v a_o ill_a thing_n but_o never_o a_o ill_a thing_n to_o repent_v a_o bad_a act_n the_o first_o be_v the_o disease_n the_o other_o the_o remedy_n it_o be_v a_o certain_a truth_n that_o all_o bad_a woman_n deserve_v censure_n and_o it_o be_v as_o great_a a_o truth_n that_o many_o good_a woman_n undergo_v bad_a censure_n though_o they_o do_v not_o deserve_v they_o many_o young_a man_n deal_v with_o handsome_a woman_n reputation_n as_o pilate_n do_v with_o our_o bless_a saviour_n condemn_v he_o though_o he_o own_v '_o be_v find_v no_o fault_n in_o he_o indeed_o the_o very_a air_n of_o this_o kingdom_n be_v so_o infect_v with_o the_o nauseous_a distemper_n of_o censure_v as_o i_o fancy_v it_o will_v be_v as_o impossible_a to_o stop_v all_o ill_a nature_a tongue_n from_o censure_v as_o to_o stop_v all_o handsome_a woman_n eye_n from_o stir_v in_o their_o head_n or_o their_o blood_n from_o run_v in_o their_o vein_n for_o as_o long_o as_o they_o move_v busy_a censurer_n tongue_n will_v stir_v therefore_o the_o best_a and_o most_o likely_a way_n i_o know_v to_o prevent_v other_o speak_n ill_a of_o they_o be_v for_o they_o not_o to_o speak_v ill_o of_o other_o for_o if_o they_o do_v what_o they_o ought_v you_o be_v unjust_a to_o censure_v they_o and_o if_o they_o do_v what_o they_o ought_v not_o you_o be_v unkind_a to_o do_v it_o since_o none_o can_v do_v a_o ill_a act_n without_o be_v punish_v by_o the_o very_a act_n of_o do_v it_o and_o therefore_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n nature_n and_o true_a charity_n pious_a virtuous_a woman_n ought_v rather_o to_o be_v trouble_v than_o please_v for_o the_o fault_n of_o other_o since_o she_o that_o be_v not_o do_v in_o some_o degree_n make_v other_o fault_n she_o own_o as_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n she_o that_o show_v charity_n to_o a_o man_n do_v good_a to_o

great_a truth_n that_o though_o a_o wife_n be_v never_o so_o virtuous_a yet_o she_o ought_v to_o be_v most_o strict_o careful_a to_o prevent_v all_o other_o from_o think_v she_o the_o contrary_a and_o to_o shun_v provoke_v ill_a tongue_n as_o well_o as_o commit_v bad_a deed_n since_o many_o a_o good_a virtuous_a woman_n reputation_n have_v be_v by_o other_o false_a tongue_n sad_o blast_v and_o render_v unfortunate_a though_o her_o life_n and_o carriage_n have_v be_v true_o far_o from_o be_v scandalous_a or_o undeserving_a so_o that_o no_o woman_n ought_v to_o be_v so_o over-puffed_a up_o with_o the_o inward_a knowledge_n of_o her_o virtue_n as_o to_o slight_v the_o outward_a care_n she_o ought_v to_o take_v and_o the_o prudent_a mean_n she_o be_v oblige_v to_o use_v to_o make_v all_o think_v she_o virtuous_a for_o though_o she_o be_v never_o true_o such_o yet_o she_o ought_v to_o take_v the_o same_o care_n and_o use_v the_o same_o mean_n and_o method_n to_o plant_v a_o good_a reputation_n in_o the_o world_n as_o good_a gardener_n do_v in_o set_v their_o tree_n in_o earth_n let_v the_o ground_n be_v never_o so_o good_a and_o rich_a which_o be_v not_o to_o plant_v they_o

like_a by_o she_o own_o example_n very_o reasonable_o conclude_v that_o she_o ought_v best_a to_o know_v herself_o this_o be_v a_o way_n many_o a_o virtuous_a woman_n take_v to_o injure_v her_o good_a
