of_o the_o roman_a faith_n in_o a_o word_n our_o young_a gallant_n be_v grow_v so_o very_o vain_a in_o their_o apparel_n and_o dress_n that_o desire_v to_o see_v change_n and_o excess_n of_o vanity_n we_o need_v but_o look_v on_o one_o another_o vain_a change_n of_o dress_n be_v almost_o as_o diverse_a as_o the_o person_n that_o wear_v they_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o view_v

prodigality_n and_o more_o irregular_a inconstancy_n indeed_o all_o our_o vain_a expensive_a french_a dress_n may_v make_v the_o lady_n or_o gallant_n fine_a but_o never_o better_a or_o worse_a for_o embroider_a clothes_n to_o our_o body_n be_v but_o like_a flower_n of_o rhetoric_n in_o speech_n they_o make_v the_o word_n sound_v the_o sweet_a but_o render_v not_o the_o sense_n the_o better_a it_o may_v please_v the_o ear_n but_o it_o do_v not_o improve_v the_o judgement_n or_o like_o silver_n dish_n on_o a_o table_n they_o may_v show_v their_o own_o costliness_n but_o they_o make_v no_o

reason_n a_o vote_n in_o this_o affair_n we_o shall_v soon_o be_v assure_v by_o they_o that_o there_o appear_v more_o true_a wisdom_n and_o satisfaction_n in_o give_v one_o penny_n as_o a_o almsdeed_n for_o christ_n sake_n than_o in_o lay_v out_o many_o pound_n on_o bravery_n for_o our_o own_o more_o real_a fine_a in_o clothe_v one_o that_o be_v naked_a on_o a_o pious_a account_n of_o true_a

cross_v out_o in_o a_o word_n i_o wish_v our_o french_a fashion_n may_v not_o prove_v fatal_a folly_n by_o be_v soon_o naturalize_v into_o english_a custom_n for_o then_o let_v they_o be_v never_o

against_o they_o i_o will_v now_o only_o add_v this_o consideration_n to_o conclude_v all_o in_o reference_n to_o our_o fine_a young_a frenchify_a lady_n and_o that_o be_v that_o they_o will_v serious_o reflect_v on_o the_o end_n of_o all_o their_o fine_a modish_a dress_n and_o their_o great_a loss_n of_o precious_a time_n they_o be_v about_o they_o which_o occasion_n their_o mind_v so_o

remember_v that_o they_o must_v die_v certain_o though_o they_o now_o live_v pleasant_o and_o then_o all_o their_o plenty_n of_o finch_n rich_a frenchify_a dress_n will_v be_v contain_v in_o one_o poor_a winding-sheet_n and_o their_o exact_a slender_a shape_n in_o a_o coffin_n and_o all_o their_o fine_a gallant_n and_o constant_a admirer_n will_v leave_v they_o at_o the_o grave_a where_o their_o body_n will_v be_v only_o fit_a to_o be_v enjoy_v by_o nasty_a worm_n this_o young_a lady_n be_v the_o true_a epilogue_n to_o the_o sad_a tragedy_n of_o your_o vain_a dress_n and_o what_o be_v yet_o worse_a than_o all_o your_o soul_n will_v be_v in_o as_o sad_a a_o condition_n as_o your_o body_n after_o death_n without_o a_o hearty_a repentance_n which_o can_v never_o be_v without_o a_o real_a amendment_n in_o abandon_v not_o only_o great_a sin_n but_o vain_a excess_n as_o well_o in_o dress_n as_o waste_v time_n about_o they_o and_o that_o you_o come_v to_o esteem_v they_o as_o solomon_n do_v the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n only_o as_o vanity_n of_o vanity_n therefore_o all_o you_o young_a lady_n that_o desire_v to_o clothe_v your_o soul_n in_o a_o heavenly_a dress_n adorn_v your_o life_n with_o constant_a piety_n and_o your_o body_n with_o modest_a and_o decent_a clothing_n such_o as_o waste_v not_o too_o much_o of_o your_o time_n or_o estate_n but_o wear_v still_o what_o be_v most_o general_o wear_v and_o then_o you_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o few_o person_n will_v either_o gaze_v or_o laugh_v at_o you_o the_o thirteen_o discourse_n of_o worldly_a praise_n which_o all_o lady_n love_n to_o receive_v but_o few_o strive_v to_o merit_v with_o the_o sad_a end_n of_o it_o and_o they_o when_o they_o come_v to_o die_v worldly_n praise_n be_v a_o

the_o one_o hand_n it_o will_v be_v vain_a and_o superfluous_a to_o make_v that_o my_o business_n to_o commend_v what_o all_o praise_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n it_o will_v argue_v a_o great_a

on_o the_o world_n high_a esteem_n and_o eager_a ambition_n after_o vain_a praise_n the_o desire_n of_o gain_v it_o be_v as_o inseparable_a from_o most_o man_n and_o woman_n action_n as_o light_n be_v

who_o mind_n be_v true_o sanctify_v will_v extract_v use_n of_o virtue_n out_o of_o such_o extravagant_a woman_n vanity_n like_o the_o bee_n that_o suck_v hony_n out_o of_o all_o sort_n of_o venomous_a herb_n and_o like_o fire_n that_o turn_v all_o thing_n within_o its_o compass_n to_o its_o self_n and_o such_o a_o lady_n holy_a course_n of_o life_n will_v be_v steady_a and_o certain_a

that_o be_v in_o the_o holy_a state_n of_o true_a mortification_n her_o constant_a piety_n will_v so_o purify_v and_o draw_v off_o her_o inclination_n from_o all_o vain_a pastime_n and_o modish_a vanity_n and_o from_o those_o foul_a dregs_o of_o impurity_n that_o be_v the_o usual_a attendant_n of_o a_o vain_a idle_a london_n life_n that_o by_o this_o transfiguration_n of_o mind_n and_o pious_a habit_n of_o life_n her_o conversation_n will_v be_v as_o the_o apostle_n say_v fix_v up_o in_o heaven_n and_o we_o all_o know_v that_o the_o upper_a region_n of_o the_o air_n itself_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o storm_n or_o thunder_n for_o they_o be_v all_o form_v below_o it_o and_o far_o that_o lady_n who_o be_v so_o bless_a as_o to_o have_v her_o heart_n touch_v with_o this_o magnetic_a virtue_n of_o true_a godliness_n her_o thought_n will_v be_v elevate_v to_o such_o a_o heavenly_a pitch_n of_o spiritual_a virtue_n and_o religion_n as_o she_o will_v despise_v all_o the_o young_a gallant_n fine_a word_n deep_a sigh_n and_o languish_a look_n with_o all_o their_o high_a praise_n and_o shower_n of_o compliment_n which_o will_v work_v no_o more_o on_o her_o sanctify_a mind_n than_o shower_n of_o hail_n on_o the_o top_n of_o well_o cover_v house_n which_o fall_v off_o as_o soon_o as_o it_o fall_v on_o without_o ever_o touch_v any_o of_o the_o inward_a part_n and_o whereas_o our_o vain_a lady_n receive_v the_o extravagant_a encomium_n and_o flattery_n i_o may_v have_v almost_o say_v adoration_n of_o their_o vain_a gallant_n as_o the_o lawful_a issue_n of_o their_o own_o applaud_a merit_n a_o true_o pious_a lady_n will_v only_o hearken_v to_o all_o the_o airy_a praise_n young_a man_n ascribe_v to_o her_o beauty_n to_o be_v but_o the_o bastard_n brood_n of_o their_o own_o abundant_a sin_n and_o folly_n and_o she_o will_v make_v such_o pious_a reflection_n on_o such_o young_a man_n overmuch_a praise_n ground_v on_o a_o sense_n of_o she_o own_o unworthiness_n of_o they_o as_o she_o will_v not_o only_o despise_v their_o extravagant_a speech_n but_o themselves_o for_o speak_v of_o they_o which_o doubtless_o can_v but_o be_v very_o acceptable_a to_o god_n the_o searcher_n of_o all_o heart_n who_o still_o give_v grace_n to_o the_o humble_a therefore_o lady_n if_o you_o real_o desire_v true_a piety_n and_o humility_n i_o must_v advise_v you_o again_o and_o again_o never_o to_o hearken_v with_o delight_n or_o hear_v with_o belief_n or_o indeed_o suffer_v with_o patience_n but_o shun_v with_o diligence_n young_a man_n airy_a praise_n and_o compliment_n nor_o yet_o countenance_v their_o flattery_n for_o multitude_n of_o praise_n can_v but_o perplex_v young_a lady_n mind_n as_o many_o light_n still_o confound_v the_o sight_n and_o therefore_o when_o you_o hear_v young_a man_n give_v their_o tongue_n such_o loose_a liberty_n and_o over_o large_a range_n in_o magnify_v your_o beauty_n remember_v such_o high_a complimental_a expression_n be_v to_o be_v trust_v no_o more_o than_o the_o christian_a flag_n of_o a_o turkish_a pirate_n which_o he_o only_o hang_v out_o that_o you_o may_v esteem_v he_o your_o friend_n that_o thereby_o he_o may_v make_v you_o become_v his_o slave_n therefore_o lady_n keep_v still_o about_o you_o this_o preservative_n of_o your_o virtue_n that_o you_o look_v upon_o on_o all_o the_o vain_a gallant_n that_o court_n you_o with_o high_a compliment_n and_o great_a praise_n to_o be_v but_o so_o many_o judas_n that_o come_v to_o betray_v you_o with_o a_o kiss_n and_o do_v not_o believe_v their_o oath_n either_o on_o the_o account_n of_o what_o they_o swear_v as_o to_o your_o great_a beauty_n or_o their_o own_o true_a love_n for_o real_o flattery_n and_o vain_a praise_n be_v now_o grow_v such_o common_a art_n among_o fond_a lover_n as_o well_o as_o great_a statesman_n and_o complimental_a courtier_n as_o we_o often_o meet_v the_o truth_n of_o their_o meaning_n in_o the_o contradiction_n of_o their_o word_n 7._o my_o last_o conclude_v advice_n to_o the_o vain_a modish_a lady_n be_v when_o one_o of_o you_o be_v curious_o behold_v and_o admire_v your_o fine_a face_n in_o your_o glass_n and_o find_v that_o the_o great_a beauty_n of_o it_o raises_z proud_a thought_n in_o your_o heart_n which_o be_v almost_o as_o common_a among_o handsome_a lady_n as_o it_o be_v for_o they_o to_o look_v in_o their_o glass_n which_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o common_a humble_v your_o pride_n with_o these_o mortify_a reflection_n that_o this_o very_a fine_a face_n of_o you_o that_o you_o like_v so_o much_o love_v so_o well_o and_o be_v so_o take_v with_o and_o fond_a of_o must_v unavoidable_o in_o a_o little_a time_n become_v loathsome_a rottenness_n stink_n and_o corruption_n turn_v odious_a either_o to_o be_v see_v or_o smell_v which_o be_v as_o very_o certain_a as_o mortality_n itself_o and_o death_n you_o know_v be_v not_o only_o sure_a to_o meet_v you_o but_o your_o be_v expose_v by_o a_o thousand_o accident_n to_o meet_v it_o whilst_o you_o be_v travel_v in_o this_o earthly_a pilgrimage_n for_o the_o sprightly_a gaiety_n of_o your_o blossom_n youth_n can_v only_o let_v you_o know_v how_o long_o you_o may_v possible_o live_v but_o can_v give_v no_o advance_v security_n how_o long_o you_o certain_o will_v therefore_o young_a lady_n as_o well_o as_o old_a man_n ought_v still_o to_o march_v under_o the_o safe_a conduct_n of_o a_o virtuous_a life_n and_o not_o to_o trust_v to_o the_o temptation_n of_o a_o long_a life_n but_o to_o rely_v only_o on_o the_o bless_a security_n of_o a_o good_a one_o i_o shall_v conclude_v this_o discourse_n and_o book_n with_o the_o good_a say_n of_o a_o excellent_a religious_a person_n that_o the_o vain_a beauty_n on_o earth_n can_v just_o

this_o life_n and_o the_o next_o too_o since_o one_o may_v live_v well_o without_o beauty_n but_o one_o can_v neither_o live_v or_o die_v well_o without_o piety_n finis_fw-la
