manner_n of_o reason_n argument_n objection_n remonstrance_n etc._n etc._n he_o now_o again_o set_v up_o his_o standard_n with_o this_o inscription_n that_o it_o be_v a_o duty_n incumbent_n on_o all_o

incumbent_a on_o marry_a woman_n have_v something_o in_o it_o and_o he_o think_v it_o perhaps_o very_o suitable_a to_o a_o nuptial_a occasion_n and_o any_o one_o that_o consider_v with_o what_o a_o

shall_v think_v it_o a_o duty_n incumbent_n on_o i_o to_o consider_v what_o he_o say_v to_o we_o and_o follow_v he_o through_o the_o whole_a set_v of_o argument_n that_o he_o have_v range_v in_o

of_o the_o whole_a i._n e._n to_o make_v the_o best_a of_o a_o bad_a matter_n in_o the_o first_o place_n he_o come_v to_o his_o reason_n and_o argument_n the_o first_o of_o which_o be_v that_o woman_n

woman_n be_v make_v for_o the_o comfort_n and_o benefit_n of_o man_n but_o i_o think_v it_o a_o much_o noble_a comfort_n to_o have_v a_o companion_n a_o person_n in_o who_o a_o man_n can_v confide_v to_o who_o he_o can_v communicate_v his_o very_a soul_n and_o open_v his_o breast_n and_o most_o inward_a thought_n than_o to_o have_v a_o slave_n sit_v at_o his_o footstool_n and_o tremble_v at_o

ground_n upon_o which_o it_o depend_v which_o be_v that_o man_n be_v create_v first_o now_o if_o it_o have_v so_o please_v the_o eternal_a father_n to_o have_v make_v the_o woman_n first_o then_o because_o man_n be_v make_v last_o though_o he_o be_v as_o he_o think_v the_o noble_a creature_n yet_o by_o this_o argument_n he_o have_v be_v to_o have_v take_v extraordinary_a care_n to_o please_v his_o wife_n now_o there_o be_v some_o divine_n that_o tell_v we_o that_o in_o the_o frame_n of_o this_o low_a world_n god_n proceed_v from_o the_o less_o to_o the_o more_o perfect_a and_o therefore_o

o_o fair_a of_o creation_n last_o and_o best_a of_o all_o god_n work_n it_o be_v grant_v the_o woman_n be_v create_v for_o the_o man_n but_o we_o deny_v that_o this_o be_v any_o pretence_n to_o use_v

inferior_a in_o brutal_a strength_n of_o body_n yet_o in_o strength_n and_o beauty_n of_o reason_n when_o cultivate_v equal_v the_o superior_a sex_n it_o be_v true_a a_o woman_n that_o abridge_n her_o husband_n of_o his_o reasonable_a authority_n and_o have_v impudence_n enough_o to_o put_v on_o the_o breeches_n do_v certain_o pervert_v the_o end_n of_o her_o creation_n and_o such_o without_o any_o defence_n i_o leave_v to_o the_o mercy_n of_o this_o gentleman_n and_o the_o discipline_n their_o husband_n think_v fit_a to_o exercise_v upon_o they_o though_o woman_n be_v for_o the_o comfort_n and_o benefit_n of_o man_n yet_o that_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o they_o shall_v be_v their_o most_o obedient_a slave_n and_o vassal_n i_o suppose_v the_o author_n will_v grant_v that_o man_n be_v to_o be_v for_o the_o comfort_n and_o benefit_n of_o woman_n and_o yet_o the_o consequence_n will_v not_o be_v allow_v that_o therefore_o man_n be_v to_o cast_v this_o way_n and_o that_o way_n and_o

both_o sex_n have_v reason_n to_o remember_v the_o first_o apostasy_n from_o god_n with_o all_o imaginable_a regret_n but_o i_o never_o hear_v or_o read_v that_o there_o be_v a_o particular_a original_a sin_n impute_v to_o the_o woman_n and_o another_o to_o the_o man._n i_o think_v learn_v man_n have_v hold_v that_o original_a gild_n be_v convey_v alike_o to_o both_o sex_n however_o it_o be_v explain_v which_o i_o pretend_v not_o to_o do_v only_o follow_v his_o argument_n which_o suppose_v the_o imputation_n of_o original_a sin_n and_o certain_o it_o must_v be_v grant_v that_o adam_n be_v guilty_a of_o a_o very_a great_a crime_n to_o hearken_v to_o a_o woman_n more_o than_o his_o god_n and_o let_v go_v his_o innocence_n upon_o the_o word_n of_o a_o guilty_a creature_n and_o if_o it_o be_v true_a as_o some_o of_o the_o divine_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o woman_n be_v create_v with_o less_o noble_a faculty_n of_o mind_n weak_a judgement_n and_o dull_a thought_n no_o wonder_n that_o she_o be_v more_o obnoxious_a to_o the_o tempter_n and_o that_o she_o fall_v first_o of_o all_o he_o that_o according_a to_o they_o have_v the_o great_a strength_n must_v of_o consequence_n stand_v long_o but_o according_a to_o this_o argument_n drive_v home_o all_o the_o barbarous_a action_n wickedness_n and_o rebellion_n commit_v in_o former_a age_n must_v be_v impute_v to_o this_o age_n and_o they_o must_v suffer_v for_o it_o so_o that_o i_o do_v argue_v for_o our_o mother_n eve_n to_o defend_v her_o transgression_n but_o to_o show_v the_o unreasonableness_n of_o the_o inference_n from_o it_o all_o the_o other_o sex_n spring_v from_o she_o as_o well_o as_o we_o and_o be_v therefore_o i_o think_v equal_o guilty_a of_o her_o transgression_n and_o i_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o see_v any_o one_o strong_o prove_v that_o because_o we_o be_v of_o the_o same_o sex_n therefore_o that_o sin_n in_o impute_a to_o we_o more_o than_o the_o men._n beside_o this_o i_o think_v it_o be_v beyond_o doubt_n that_o though_o the_o woman_n have_v retain_v her_o innocence_n yet_o it_o have_v not_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o man_n to_o have_v transgress_v for_o though_o he_o be_v a_o happy_a creature_n yet_o not_o be_v immutable_a but_o leave_v to_o himself_o and_o the_o power_n he_o have_v give_v he_o from_o heaven_n he_o may_v have_v fall_v single_o and_o by_o himself_o all_o this_o i_o think_v something_o lessen_v the_o force_n of_o the_o argument_n and_o it_o have_v not_o so_o sharp_a a_o edge_n as_o our_o adversary_n will_v threaten_v we_o with_o 14._o 1_o tim._n 2._o 14._o and_o as_o to_o that_o place_n he_o quote_v out_o of_o timothy_n i_o think_v there_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o woman_n learning_n in_o silence_n and_o subjection_n and_o not_o usurp_a authority_n over_o the_o man._n this_o they_o will_v own_v to_o be_v their_o duty_n for_o they_o be_v not_o ambitious_a of_o the_o revenue_n of_o the_o church_n nor_o
