nourish_v her_o child_n within_o she_o which_o excessive_a fast_n must_v oeeds_o dry_a and_o so_o consequent_o heat_v she_o for_o though_o fast_v may_v cool_v after_o excess_n waste_v the_o

country_n and_o live_v in_o the_o city_n for_o i_o have_v so_o many_o reason_n which_o persuade_v i_o not_o to_o do_v it_o as_o this_o letter_n can_v compass_n yet_o lest_o i_o shall_v offend_v you_o i_o will_v set_v down_o some_o few_o the_o first_o be_v that_o it_o be_v more_o agree_v with_o my_o humour_n to_o live_v in_o the_o country_n for_o natural_o my_o humour_n be_v a_o solitary_n muse_v and_o contemplate_v humour_n and_o my_o delight_n be_v to_o write_v those_o fancy_n and_o conception_n which_o my_o contemplation_n do_v produce_v all_o which_o will_v be_v disturb_v with_o the_o several_a noise_n that_o be_v make_v in_o populous_a city_n the_o second_o reason_n be_v the_o preserve_v of_o my_o health_n for_o i_o have_v not_o a_o very_a strong_a body_n nor_o a_o very_a healthful_a constitution_n although_o i_o thank_v god_n not_o any_o particular_a disease_n yet_o so_o i_o be_o as_o i_o do_v not_o find_v myself_o so_o healthful_a as_o i_o wish_v i_o be_v and_o therefore_o a_o great_a and_o populous_a city_n be_v not_o so_o well_o agree_v with_o my_o health_n as_o the_o sweet_a and_o fresh_a air_n in_o the_o country_n where_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o wind_n have_v freedom_n and_o power_n to_o disperse_v and_o so_o to_o destroy_v malignant_a vapour_n the_o three_o reason_n be_v that_o my_o husband_n have_v a_o house_n in_o the_o city_n but_o by_o the_o occasion_n of_o the_o civil_a war_n his_o estate_n be_v tear_v in_o piece_n among_o many_o part_n which_o be_v quite_o take_v from_o he_o and_o his_o posterity_n the_o say_a house_n be_v one_o so_o that_o we_o have_v no_o house_n for_o the_o present_a in_o the_o city_n to_o live_v in_o but_o if_o i_o have_v one_o true_o madam_n i_o shall_v not_o be_v willing_a to_o live_v there_o for_o i_o be_o so_o much_o please_v with_o a_o solitary_a country_n life_n that_o i_o can_v bring_v any_o argument_n to_o myself_o which_o can_v induce_v or_o persuade_v i_o to_o a_o city_n life_n which_o be_v but_o a_o gossip_n and_o vain_a life_n where_o there_o be_v in_o conversation_n more_o idle_a word_n speak_v than_o good_a work_v do_v and_o more_o money_n spend_v than_o their_o estate_n be_v able_a to_o pay_v and_o if_o i_o live_v there_o and_o shall_v not_o speak_v idle_o and_o spend_v vain_o as_o other_o do_v i_o shall_v be_v out_o of_o the_o fashion_n and_o there_o be_v a_o old_a say_v better_o be_v out_o of_o the_o world_n than_o out_o of_o the_o fashion_n but_o your_o chief_a argument_n to_o persuade_v i_o to_o live_v in_o the_o city_n be_v that_o in_o a_o great_a and_o populous_a city_n there_o be_v many_o learned_a and_o witty_a person_n with_o who_o i_o may_v converse_v who_o conversation_n will_v increase_v my_o knowledge_n better_a my_o understanding_n quicken_v my_o wit_n and_o by_o practice_n refine_v my_o speech_n or_o language_n true_o madam_n the_o advantage_n will_v be_v great_a if_o i_o can_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o our_o sex_n as_o not_o to_o speak_v much_o but_o that_o be_v impossible_a for_o all_o woman_n and_o so_o i_o among_o the_o rest_n be_v more_o apt_a to_o talk_v than_o to_o learn_v with_o attention_n so_o that_o i_o shall_v rather_o discover_v my_o imperfection_n by_o the_o superfluity_n of_o my_o discourse_n than_o gain_n applause_n by_o my_o wit_n for_o i_o in_o my_o conversation_n speak_v as_o i_o may_v say_v without_o think_v or_o rather_o consider_v but_o when_o i_o write_v i_o think_v without_o speak_v wherefore_o the_o wise_a way_n for_o i_o be_v rather_o to_o write_v than_o to_o speak_v for_o then_o my_o speech_n will_v not_o disgrace_v my_o write_n for_o most_o man_n judge_v their_o acquaintance_n rather_o according_a to_o their_o word_n than_o their_o work_n and_o those_o be_v most_o applaud_v that_o be_v least_o know_v for_o the_o least_o error_n either_o in_o discourse_n or_o behaviour_n make_v not_o only_o the_o person_n of_o less_o esteem_n but_o all_o the_o labour_n of_o their_o life_n be_v they_o never_o so_o exact_a wise_a or_o heroic_a wherefore_o it_o be_v a_o madness_n to_o desire_v to_o converse_v with_o much_o company_n especial_o for_o those_o that_o desire_v to_o keep_v up_o a_o fame_n once_o get_v unless_o it_o be_v in_o public_a action_n or_o employment_n neither_o do_v that_o last_o unless_o their_o action_n be_v like_o pyramid_n which_o rise_v still_o high_a and_o high_a but_o for_o the_o most_o part_n man_n nature_n be_v so_o ambitious_a as_o to_o desire_v to_o do_v wonder_n not_o content_v themselves_o with_o a_o mean_a and_o then_o their_o building_n prove_v like_o babel_n tower_n full_a of_o confusion_n but_o madam_n i_o only_o desire_v to_o keep_v up_o those_o small_a molehill_n i_o have_v make_v that_o be_v the_o reputation_n of_o my_o book_n whereas_o if_o i_o do_v appear_v to_o the_o public_a world_n i_o shall_v be_v find_v a_o blind_a creature_n as_o a_o mole_n be_v not_o blind_a of_o the_o eye_n of_o my_o head_n but_o my_o understanding_n which_o be_v worse_o and_o as_o for_o conversation_n and_o company_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o madam_n i_o do_v not_o want_v a_o wise_n and_o witty_a companion_n so_o long_o as_o my_o lord_n live_v neither_o can_v i_o want_v friend_n so_o long_o as_o you_o both_o live_v which_o i_o pray_v god_n to_o continue_v to_o many_o year_n for_o these_o be_v the_o constant_a prayer_n of_o madam_n your_o faithful_a

shall_v have_v join_v they_o to_o these_o it_o will_v have_v be_v as_o a_o type_n or_o resemblance_n of_o infinite_a nature_n and_o i_o be_o careful_a not_o to_o be_v too_o tedious_a or_o wearisome_a to_o my_o reader_n beside_o the_o say_a letter_n contain_v nothing_o but_o philosophical_a question_n and_o answer_n be_v not_o so_o fit_a or_o proper_a for_o this_o book_n wherein_o be_v only_o

and_o certain_o friendly_a and_o kind_a expression_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o courtly_a compliment_n the_o first_o sound_n like_o real_a truth_n the_o other_o may_v be_v demonstrate_v to_o

always_o change_v for_o more_o commodious_a or_o become_v but_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o variety_n for_o a_o old_a fashion_n may_v be_v more_o useful_a and_o graceful_a than_o a_o modern_a fashion_n but_o i_o believe_v the_o lady_n g._n p._n carry_v mrs._n o._n b_o s._n letter_n about_o with_o she_o for_o a_o pretence_n to_o visit_v company_n like_v as_o gossip_n do_v cake_n and_o other_o

as_o other_o gossip_n out_o of_o a_o luxury_n to_o talk_v and_o eat_v carry_v the_o letter_n to_o show_v her_o several_a acquaintance_n sport_n to_o get_v other_o acquaintance_n and_o if_o she_o have_v not_o have_v that_o letter_n it_o be_v likely_a she_o will_v have_v find_v some_o other_o pretence_n rather_o than_o have_v stay_v at_o home_o indeed_o one_o may_v say_v that_o in_o this_o age_n there_o be_v a_o malignant_a contagion_n of_o gossip_v for_o not_o only_o one_o woman_n infect_v another_o but_o the_o woman_n infect_v the_o man_n and_o then_o one_o man_n infect_v another_o nay_o it_o spread_v so_o much_o as_o it_o take_v hold_v even_o on_o young_a child_n so_o strong_a and_o infectious_a be_v this_o malignity_n but_o if_o any_o will_v avoid_v it_o they_o must_v every_o

to_o seem_v foolish_a than_o they_o be_v but_o where_o there_o be_v one_o feign_a fool_n in_o the_o world_n there_o be_v a_o thousand_o feign_v wise_a man_n and_o where_o there_o be_v one_o profess_a

man_n part_n she_o do_v it_o so_o natural_o as_o if_o she_o have_v be_v of_o that_o sex_n and_o yet_o she_o be_v of_o a_o neat_n slender_n shape_v but_o be_v in_o her_o doublet_n and_o breeches_n and_o a_o sword_n hang_v by_o her_o side_n one_o will_v have_v believe_v she_o never_o have_v wear_v a_o petticoat_n and_o have_v be_v more_o use_v to_o handle_v a_o sword_n than_o a_o distaff_n and_o when_o she_o dance_v in_o a_o masculine_a habit_n she_o will_v caper_v high_a and_o often_o than_o any_o of_o the_o man_n although_o they_o be_v great_a master_n in_o the_o art_n of_o dance_a and_o when_o she_o dance_v after_o the_o fashion_n of_o she_o own_o sex_n she_o dance_v just_o even_o smooth_o and_o graceful_o wherefore_o in_o this_o woman_n and_o the_o fool_n her_o husband_n i_o take_v
