show_v it_o to_o no_o creature_n live_v for_o oftentimes_o it_o chance_v that_o in_o open_v of_o small_a matter_n come_v much_o harm_n and_o most_o time_n when_o they_o think_v lest_o thereon_o a_o close_a mouth_n as_o the_o say_n be_v make_v a_o wise_a head_n and_o a_o foolish_a woman_n be_v easy_o know_v by_o she_o much_o babble_n in_o be_v close_a and_o secret_a and_o especial_o in_o such_o thing_n as_o man_n will_v have_v keep_v close_o and_o in_o secret_a can_v come_v nothing_o but_o good_a and_o quietness_n for_o a_o word_n be_v like_o a_o arrow_n in_o a_o bow_n when_o the_o arrow_n be_v shoot_v and_o go_v from_o the_o bow_n it_o make_v a_o noise_n and_o can_v return_v again_o before_o it_o take_v his_o light_v place_n so_o likewise_o a_o word_n when_o it_o be_v speak_v and_o go_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n it_o can_v come_v again_o before_o it_o be_v disperse_v unto_o the_o auditor_n and_o stander_n by_o and_o of_o they_o be_v hear_v and_o understand_v either_o in_o the_o good_a or_o evil_a part_n therefore_o it_o be_v good_a to_o have_v in_o memory_n and_o mark_v well_o the_o say_n of_o the_o wiseman_n solomon_n first_o think_v a_o thing_n twice_o or_o thrice_o before_o thou_o speak_v it_o and_o take_v good_a heed_n and_o regard_n to_o what_o end_n and_o effect_v it_o may_v turn_v and_o come_v unto_o before_o thou_o open_v thy_o mouth_n for_o where_o much_o babble_n be_v there_o must_v needs_o be_v offence_n she_o that_o refrain_v and_o bridle_v her_o tongue_n be_v wise_a a_o innocent_a tongue_n be_v a_o noble_a treasure_n and_o as_o one_o wise_o say_v silence_n in_o a_o woman_n be_v a_o special_a virtue_n it_o be_v a_o wonder_n to_o see_v a_o dumb_a grasshopper_n because_o the_o whole_a kind_n of_o they_o be_v garrulous_a yet_o more_o wonderful_a it_o be_v to_o see_v constancy_n and_o silence_n in_o woman_n because_o their_o sex_n be_v mutable_a and_o loquacious_a the_o tongue_n be_v a_o unruly_a member_n especial_o in_o a_o woman_n mouth_n but_o where_o grace_n be_v it_o be_v easy_o bridle_v the_o tongue_n be_v call_v the_o gate_n of_o life_n and_o death_n and_o that_o in_o this_o respect_n for_o by_o it_o the_o life_n of_o ourselves_o and_o other_o be_v daily_o hazard_v as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o story_n immediate_o go_v before_o wherefore_o i_o will_v once_o again_o advise_v all_o wise_a and_o discreet_a woman_n or_o that_o will_v so_o be_v think_v and_o account_v when_o their_o tongue_n at_o any_o time_n shall_v be_v most_o active_a and_o nimble_a for_o discourse_n to_o think_v upon_o cato_n wife_n that_o they_o reveal_v not_o in_o any_o wise_a any_o secret_a whereby_o any_o mischief_n may_v come_v thereof_o for_o by_o a_o word_n speak_v and_o that_o to_o her_o near_a friend_n and_o to_o one_o of_o she_o own_o sex_n which_o one_o will_v have_v think_v will_v have_v keep_v her_o counsel_n into_o what_o great_a peril_n have_v she_o like_v to_o have_v bring_v her_o husband_n and_o herself_o labour_v then_o to_o amend_v your_o own_o imperfection_n in_o this_o one_o thing_n otherwise_o the_o danger_n and_o shame_n in_o the_o end_n will_v light_v upon_o yourselves_o as_o the_o verse_n herefollow_v do_v show_v woman_n who_o tongue_n before_o their_o wit_n do_v run_v oft_o speak_v too_o soon_o &_o rue_v when_o they_o have_v do_v but_o this_o be_v not_o write_v only_o to_o be_v mark_v of_o woman_n
