will assure you a greater assistance is required in the framing and fashioning of a Woman whose behaviour should be such as to please in all companies Whatsoever Nature can afford or good manners inform come short of this purpose In this subject the fairest Ornaments are most necessary among which what I have already exprest are highly to be prized which with the aggregation of all the best qualities can be desired are the proper things which as in their Center must terminate in conversation The first things I judg most necessary and do wish with Socrates were in you Ladies as he desired in his Pupils are Discretion Silence and Modesty But this is too general wherefore since conversation after the milk is the first and chiefest thing both animal as well as rational creatures do most desire and delight in I shall first advise as to choice of company next your carriage therein both in gesture look speech and habit No wonder all Mankind is so generally inclined to conversation since Life without Society is more insupportable than Death it is discourse makes us pass over our tedious hours and days with delight What a Desart would this World seem without company and how dangerous would it prove were we not cautious in our election For example is more forcible than precept thus by ill company you may gain a bad custom which all good instructions shall never root out But should you be so prudent as not to follow their evil example yet by associating your self you will inevitably contract a suspition of being as bad as they this made the Philosopher say Shew me thy Companion and I will tell thee what thou art Be not easily induc'd to enter into discourse with strangers for nothing argueth levity and indiscretion more than that Consort your self with your betters as near as you can yet do not despise your equals but in a most especial manner avoid all familiarity with your inferiors if Female in a little time they will thereby be drawn to slight you if Male they will be incouraged to attack your honour unlawfully or subtilly insinuate themselvcs into your affection whereby though you are as high in fortune as honourable in birth you may stoop to so low a contract that forgeting your self by the incessant importunities of their over-blown desires you are overcome and so become a grief to your friends a shame to your selves and a lamentable spectacle of reproach and sorrow to that worthy Family from whence you had your Original Affect not the vanity of some in being seen in publick too frequently Thus many excellent Ladies have exposed themselves to the mercy of the Tempter who otherwise had stood impregnable in the defence of their Chastities You think it may be and intend no harm in your Promenades or walks but by so doing you give too often occasion for licentious Amorists to meet with you and may thereby be perswaded to throw off the vail of circumspection to give attention to some wanton smutty story Consult not too much with youthful blood and beauty lest they prove too dangerous enemies to be your Privy-Councellors Be not guilty of the unpardonable fault of some who never think they do better than when they speak most uttering an Ocean of words without one drop of reason talking much expressing little Much like that Woman Dr. Heylin unhappily met withal in his younger years with whom he was constrained to travel a long Journey in a Coach So indiscreetly reserved she was at first meeting that tendring his devoir of a salute as it is customary she would not admit thereof so speechless withal at first as if a vow'd resolution had tied up her tongue to the strict observance of an everlasting silence but the next day she so far presumed on the slenderness of the acquaintance that though she was so silent before she then opened upon their setting forward and the continual click of her tongue never ceast till the Sun was set which the motion of her tongue and the Doctor 's watch kept exact time for eleven hours and notwithstanding her seeming modesty in refusing a kiss did now voluntarily prompt him to a close imbrace As I would not advise you to be over-reserv'd so give not too loose reins to liberty making pleasure your vocation as if you were created for no other end than to dedicate the first fruits of the morning to your Looking-glass and the remainder thereof to the Exchange or Play-house Many of our Sex are too blame who have no sooner ting'd their faces artificially than some Attendant is dispatcht to know what Plays are to be acted that day my Lady approveth of one which she is resolved to see that she may be seen being in the Pit or Box she minds not how little she observeth in it as how much to be observed at it If the novelty or goodness of the Play invite them not then what Lady Fashion-munger or what Lord Beauty-hunter Shun all affectation in your behaviour for Virtue admits of no such thing in her gesture or habit but that which is proper and not enforced native or decent and not what is apishly introduced Therefore since nothing better befits you than what is your own make known by your dress how much you hate formality To this end play not the Hypocrite with your Creator in pretending to go to Church to serve him whereas it is to serve your selves in the imitation of some new fashion That which becometh another well may ill become you You deserve in your preposterous imitation suitable correction with the Ass in the Fable who seeing the Spaniel fawningly to leap on his Master thought that the like posture would alike become and oblige him which he adventuring to put in practice alarm'd the whole Family and was soundly beaten for his unadvised folly Affectation cannot be conceal'd and the indecency of your deportment will quickly be discovered in publick Societies wherefore behave your self so discreetly abroad that you may confer no less a benefit on such as see your behaviour than you profit such as shall observe your carriage at home Express in publick such a well-becoming Garb that every action may deserve the applause and imitation of all that are in your company Let your conceits be nimble and ready and not temper'd or mixt with leightness let your jests be innocent and seasonable without the least capriciousness let your discourse be free without niceness your whole carriage delightful and agreeable and flowing with a seeming carelesness Thus much in general let me now come to particulars Of the Gait or Gesture IT is an easie matter to gather the disposition of our heart by the dimension of our Gait A leight carriage most commonly discovers a loose inclination as jetting and strutting shew haughtiness and self-conceit Were your bodies transparent you could not more perspicuously display your levity than by wanton Gesticulations Decency when she seeth Women whose modesty should be the
