rather_o express_v man_n folly_n than_o make_v know_v their_o wit_n neither_o do_v many_o word_n argue_v much_o judgement_n but_o as_o the_o old_a say_v be_v the_o great_a talker_n be_v the_o least_o

but_o i_o be_o not_o of_o that_o opinion_n for_o if_o man_n will_v think_v more_o and_o speak_v less_o the_o world_n of_o mankind_n will_v be_v more_o honest_a and_o wise_a than_o they_o be_v for_o

majestical_a the_o other_o gay_a and_o airy_a the_o three_o meek_n and_o bashful_a yet_o all_o three_o graceful_a sweet_a and_o become_a also_o their_o wit_n be_v different_a the_o one_o propound_v well_o the_o other_o argue_v well_o the_o three_o resolve_v well_o all_o which_o make_v a_o harmony_n in_o discourse_n these_o three_o lady_n be_v resolve_v never_o to_o marry_v which_o make_v many_o

three_o young_a fair_a grace_n you_o say_v true_a my_o lord_n answer_v one_o of_o they_o but_o when_o we_o leave_v to_o be_v the_o young_a fair_a grace_n we_o shall_v then_o be_v the_o old_a wise_a sibyl_n by_o this_o answer_n you_o may_v perceive_v that_o when_o our_o sex_n can_v pretend_v to_o be_v fair_a they_o will_v pretend_v to_o be_v wise_a but_o it_o matter_n not_o what_o we_o pretend_v

the_o happy_a of_o the_o two_o for_o it_o be_v better_a to_o have_v a_o old_a dote_a fool_n than_o a_o wanton_a young_a filly_n but_o he_o will_v be_v very_o unhappy_a through_o jealousy_n what_o with_o his_o dotage_n and_o her_o freedom_n which_o will_v be_v like_o fire_n and_o oil_n to_o set_v his_o mind_n on_o a_o flame_n and_o burn_v out_o the_o lamp_n of_o his_o life_n true_o i_o do_v

rather_o ten_o thousand_o million_o nay_o that_o their_o number_n be_v infinite_a that_o the_o issue_n of_o my_o brain_n fame_n and_o name_n may_v live_v to_o eternity_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a neither_o do_v i_o think_v or_o believe_v it_o a_o sin_n to_o wish_v it_o by_o reason_n it_o proceed_v from_o pure_a self-love_n which_o be_v the_o root_n or_o foundation_n of_o the_o love_n of_o

world_n or_o infinite_a matter_n but_o madam_n give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v that_o this_o age_n do_v corrupt_v all_o wit_n and_o wisdom_n with_o sophistry_n and_o because_o they_o can_v write_v beyond_o the_o ancient_n they_o will_v endeavour_v to_o disgrace_n they_o although_o most_o writer_n steal_v from_o they_o but_o for_o this_o french_a author_n set_v aside_o his_o epistle_n his_o

your_o faithful_a friend_n and_o servant_n lxxx_o madam_n by_o relation_n reading_n and_o observation_n i_o find_v that_o every_o age_n be_v not_o alike_o for_o humour_n judgement_n and_o wit_n although_o alike_o for_o kind_a life_n and_o death_n for_o some_o age_n be_v so_o heroic_a as_o all_o their_o thought_n be_v of_o war_n and_o all_o their_o action_n fight_v in_o other_o age_n all_o their_o thought_n be_v consider_v and_o their_o action_n experiment_n in_o other_o age_n all_o their_o thought_n be_v superstitious_a and_o their_o action_n sermon_n in_o other_o age_n all_o their_o

discourse_n and_o the_o like_a all_o which_o i_o have_v serious_o consider_v what_o shall_v be_v the_o cause_n that_o man_n be_v of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o kind_a viz._n mankind_n shall_v differ_v so_o much_o in_o several_a age_n in_o the_o course_n of_o their_o life_n but_o i_o can_v find_v any_o more_o reason_n for_o it_o than_o for_o several_a disease_n in_o several_a age_n as_o for_o

but_o what_o be_v good_a both_o for_o body_n and_o mind_n proceed_v from_o a_o high_a celestial_a power_n and_o as_o for_o this_o age_n we_o live_v in_o now_o it_o be_v prodigal_a to_o their_o enemy_n
