much_o to_o be_v controvert_v that_o they_o be_v a_o help_n unto_o man_n be_v indisputable_a but_o in_o what_o sense_n to_o exhaust_v his_o estate_n divulge_v his_o secret_n and_o be_v a_o continual_a trouble_n and_o vexation_n to_o his_o spirit_n all_o the_o day_n of_o his_o life_n it_o we_o look_v upon_o their_o outward_a beauty_n we_o shall_v find_v it_o like_o those_o indian_a apple_n which_o be_v seem_o fair_a without_o but_o poison_n within_o if_o upon_o their_o carriage_n and_o behaviour_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o as_o far_o distant_a from_o their_o inward_a nature_n and_o condition_n as_o the_o east_n be_v from_o the_o west_n and_o if_o we_o but_o observe_v their_o action_n and_o undertake_n it_o will_v manifest_o appear_v that_o they_o be_v fickle_a changeable_a and_o various_a as_o the_o weathercock_n constant_a in_o nothing_o but_o inconstancy_n and_o humane_a creature_n mere_o metamorphose_v seem_v to_o be_v that_o which_o true_o and_o real_o they_o be_v not_o and_o in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v most_o apparent_a that_o they_o only_o be_v the_o great_a and_o most_o powerful_a temptation_n to_o evil_a of_o all_o other_o the_o very_a gulf_n where_o man_n reason_n

that_o captivate_v man_n sense_n or_o predominate_v more_o over_o his_o understanding_n and_o will_n than_o they_o by_o their_o subtle_a falacy_n and_o bewitch_a illusion_n which_o have_v be_v sufficient_o manifest_v not_o only_o in_o former_a age_n but_o also_o in_o this_o present_a and_o that_o of_o late_a year_n by_o man_n of_o no_o mean_a degree_n and_o quality_n that_o have_v deep_o suffer_v by_o those_o cause_n but_o i_o shall_v not_o insist_v on_o these_o particular_n neither_o proceed_v to_o a_o further_a relation_n and_o discovery_n of_o those_o many_o evil_n and_o inconvenience_n that_o man_n be_v draw_v into_o by_o the_o attractive_a power_n of_o woman_n but_o rather_o with_o care_n and_o diligence_n seek_v to_o eschew_v and_o prevent_v they_o advise_v other_o as_o they_o find_v cause_n to_o endeavour_v to_o do_v the_o like_a for_o as_o man_n be_v incident_a unto_o many_o and_o divers_a temptation_n in_o this_o life_n even_o so_o also_o be_v there_o several_a mean_n give_v he_o and_o way_n of_o resistance_n which_o we_o ought_v vigilent_o to_o observe_v and_o put_v in_o practice_n but_o alas_o when_o i_o consider_v how_o the_o flesh_n overcome_v the_o spirit_n i_o can_v but_o admire_v at_o man_n frailty_n and_o weakness_n and_o again_o when_o i_o consider_v that_o the_o tree_n be_v know_v by_o his_o fruit_n and_o that_o man_n be_v the_o

to_o speak_v a_o good_a word_n think_v a_o good_a thought_n and_o much_o less_o perform_v any_o good_a action_n without_o the_o immediate_a and_o effectual_a work_n of_o the_o divine_a creator_n in_o
