man_n can_v have_v but_o two_o good_a day_n in_o his_o life_n to_o wit_n the_o day_n of_o his_o marriage_n and_o the_o day_n of_o his_o wife_n death_n therefore_o let_v i_o entreat_v you_o to_o cease_v your_o suit_n for_o your_o father_n will_v never_o give_v his_o consent_n and_o your_o equipage_n be_v ready_a for_o you_o to_o go_v to_o court_n as_o soon_o as_o you_o please_v upon_o this_o he_o seem_v in_o some_o sort_n to_o be_v reduce_v and_o make_v i_o a_o kind_n of_o promise_n to_o obey_v his_o father_n but_o he_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n hear_v of_o go_v out_o of_o town_n and_o some_o day_n after_o he_o be_v catch_v in_o his_o mistress_n chamber_n by_o certain_a arm_a man_n send_v on_o purpose_n by_o the_o parson_n for_o he_o have_v the_o heart_n of_o his_o disciple_n at_o his_o devotion_n who_o threaten_v he_o to_o kill_v he_o unless_o he_o marry_v she_o present_o which_o to_o avoid_v the_o danger_n he_o be_v according_o constrain_v to_o do_v and_o to_o make_v the_o business_n the_o more_o notorious_a and_o prevent_v the_o father_n complaint_n they_o get_v it_o to_o be_v perform_v by_o a_o roman_a catholic_a priest_n with_o the_o ceremony_n of_o that_o church_n thus_o you_o may_v behold_v a_o most_o desolate_a father_n and_o a_o most_o miserable_a son_n for_o the_o father_n sue_v for_o his_o son_n and_o the_o abolition_n of_o the_o marriage_n and_o for_o the_o mitigation_n of_o this_o suit_n i_o be_v employ_v as_o a_o intercessor_n for_o the_o son_n to_o the_o father_n as_o former_o i_o have_v be_v for_o the_o father_n to_o the_o son_n and_o so_o after_o time_n have_v a_o little_a appease_v his_o indignation_n and_o moderate_v his_o passion_n i_o go_v to_o see_v he_o and_o the_o better_a to_o reconcile_v he_o to_o a_o thing_n already_o do_v i_o speak_v thus_o to_o he_o since_o hope_n be_v the_o only_a consolation_n of_o the_o distress_a and_o the_o object_n of_o a_o uncertain_a good_a you_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o afflict_v yourself_o if_o by_o flatter_v yourself_o with_o a_o favourable_a event_n the_o uncertainty_n thereof_o have_v undeceive_v you_o by_o deceive_v your_o expectation_n and_o demonstrate_v to_o you_o that_o we_o must_v look_v with_o a_o indifferent_a eye_n upon_o such_o thing_n as_o depend_v upon_o fortune_n and_o sometime_o slight_a the_o fair_a appearance_n thereof_o in_o regard_n they_o be_v casual_a and_o have_v as_o different_a success_n as_o she_o be_v inconstant_a and_o various_a all_o your_o son_n action_n give_v you_o contentment_n and_o satisfaction_n because_o of_o his_o dexterity_n and_o obedience_n but_o since_o he_o have_v be_v obnoxious_a to_o love_n you_o have_v see_v that_o that_o god_n will_v not_o permit_v his_o vassal_n to_o suffer_v any_o chain_n but_o his_o own_o and_o that_o his_o persevere_v to_o lodge_v his_o affection_n in_o a_o place_n which_o you_o have_v forbid_v he_o have_v punish_v his_o disobedience_n with_o the_o premeditate_a surprise_n wherewith_o

passion_n you_o have_v a_o right_n and_o authority_n to_o prescribe_v rule_n to_o his_o design_n and_o he_o be_v oblige_v to_o a_o blind_a obedience_n not_o only_o for_o the_o respect_n and_o reverence_v due_a from_o a_o son_n to_o a_o father_n but_o also_o for_o fear_v of_o be_v miserable_a for_o he_o well_o know_v that_o to_o marry_v against_o your_o will_n be_v the_o highway_n to_o beggary_n and_o that_o your_o natural_a affection_n and_o paternal_a indulgence_n towards_o he_o will_v run_v the_o hazard_n of_o be_v take_v from_o he_o by_o the_o resentment_n you_o will_v have_v of_o his_o rebellion_n and_o by_o the_o little_a acknowledgement_n he_o have_v make_v you_o of_o the_o good_a which_o you_o intend_v he_o but_o in_o fine_a since_o sudden_a and_o passionate_a resolution_n be_v of_o no_o long_a durance_n it_o be_v fit_a for_o you_o to_o break_v that_o which_o you_o have_v take_v of_o disinherit_n he_o and_o to_o let_v yourself_o be_v overcome_v by_o a_o fatherly_a affection_n which_o will_v not_o suffer_v you_o to_o see_v the_o ruin_n of_o your_o child_n you_o be_v not_o ignorant_a that_o the_o honour_n of_o a_o virgin_n can_v be_v repair_v but_o by_o marriage_n or_o death_n and_o your_o son_n be_v necessitate_v either_o to_o finish_v the_o one_o or_o undergo_v the_o other_o and_o since_o you_o be_v his_o father_n i_o be_o sure_a you_o desire_v not_o his_o death_n and_o consequent_o have_v give_v he_o life_n you_o be_v bind_v to_o conserve_v and_o sustain_v it_o affliction_n be_v the_o touchstone_n of_o a_o quiet_a and_o peaceful_a

a_o fit_a and_o a_o rich_a match_n for_o he_o and_o have_v enjoy_v the_o unity_n of_o religion_n in_o your_o house_n it_o will_v be_v a_o great_a grief_n to_o you_o to_o receive_v a_o small_a portion_n and_o a_o subject_n of_o controversy_n instead_o of_o peace_n and_o quiet_a which_o you_o so_o much_o love_n and_o cherish_v but_o if_o thereby_o you_o win_v a_o soul_n to_o god_n that_o

elsewhere_o acquire_v for_o the_o maid_n of_o sparta_n have_v no_o portion_n but_o their_o virtue_n and_o if_o they_o have_v a_o good_a reputation_n their_o poverty_n never_o hinder_v their_o marriage_n many_o thing_n give_v we_o more_o fear_n then_o hurt_v and_o we_o be_v more_o trouble_v by_o opinion_n then_o by_o effect_n you_o will_v be_v even_o ravish_v with_o joy_n when_o you_o

thousand_o time_n the_o day_n when_o you_o leave_v your_o suit_n and_o give_v your_o consent_n to_o this_o marriage_n i_o make_v this_o good_a augur_n of_o this_o fair_a lady_n because_o i_o know_v that_o the_o bounty_n of_o her_o soul_n be_v not_o inferior_a to_o the_o beauty_n of_o her_o body_n and_o that_o the_o sweetness_n of_o her_o nature_n and_o the_o gentleness_n of_o her_o education_n
