end_n and_o accomplishment_n of_o all_o our_o desire_n the_o sole_a want_n of_o which_o be_v like_o that_o of_o want_v health_n which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o unpleasure_n all_o our_o other_o

though_o it_o be_v as_o odious_a to_o her_o sight_n as_o please_v to_o her_o father_n covetous_a humour_n and_o so_o to_o satisfy_v his_o will_n must_v force_v her_o inclination_n to_o marry_v he_o though_o utter_o against_o her_o own_o indeed_o it_o be_v such_o kind_a of_o force_a marriage_n that_o drive_v young_a woman_n into_o a_o double_a evil_n and_o that_o of_o the_o worst_a sort_n too_o be_v those_o of_o perjury_n and_o treachery_n for_o how_o can_v you_o make_v it_o less_o than_o perjury_n in_o a_o young_a woman_n to_o make_v a_o solemn_a vow_n in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o congregation_n to_o love_v that_o man_n her_o whole_a life_n who_o she_o know_v she_o can_v love_v a_o piece_n of_o a_o day_n nay_o not_o so_o much_o as_o that_o very_a time_n of_o her_o life_n she_o be_v vow_v to_o love_v he_o till_o death_n they_o depart_v and_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o less_o treachery_n in_o such_o a_o marriage_n vow_n that_o must_v be_v a_o kin_n to_o that_o black_a one_o of_o judas_n who_o under_o pretence_n to_o kiss_v his_o lord_n and_o master_n bring_v a_o band_n of_o soldier_n to_o seize_v he_o so_o averse_a force_v marriage_n under_o pretence_n of_o long_a

therefore_o to_o conclude_v this_o discourse_n my_o opinion_n be_v that_o parent_n may_v choose_v their_o daughter_n wealthy_a husband_n to_o live_v with_o but_o it_o be_v only_o themselves_o that_o can_v choose_v husband_n to_o be_v delight_v in_o and_o therefore_o those_o maid_n do_v well_o that_o marry_o with_o their_o parent_n like_v and_o they_o do_v ill_a that_o marry_v against_o their_o own_o the_o nine_o discourse_n against_o widow_n marry_v when_o i_o consider_v true_o and_o reflect_v serions_o how_o many_o widow_n have_v make_v themselves_o miserable_a by_o marriage_n and_o how_o few_o make_v themselves_o happy_a by_o marry_v methinks_v it_o shall_v be_v now_o as_o needless_a a_o task_n to_o dissuade_v such_o from_o marry_v as_o to_o advise_v they_o not_o to_o eat_v again_o of_o that_o dish_n they_o come_v just_a from_o surfeit_v on_o for_o sure_o she_o that_o make_v herself_o unhappy_a by_o a_o second_o marriage_n deserve_v as_o much_o her_o own_o misery_n and_o merit_n as_o little_a other_o pity_n as_o the_o man_n that_o steal_v again_o after_o have_v be_v burn_v in_o the_o hand_n do_v the_o gallow_n for_o a_o repeat_v fault_n be_v a_o twofold_a crime_n and_o

of_o hell_n on_o earth_n upon_o which_o account_n s._n peter_n think_v it_o reasonable_a that_o since_o she_o have_v suffer_v a_o hell_n in_o this_o world_n she_o shall_v not_o endure_v another_o in_o

widow_n life_n that_o marry_o since_o common_a experience_n may_v assure_v all_o wife_n and_o widow_n that_o there_o be_v general_o ten_o bad_a husband_n for_o one_o good_a one_o and_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v few_o widow_n in_o our_o age_n that_o be_v so_o perfect_a disciple_n of_o seneca_n wisdom_n as_o to_o extract_v satisfaction_n out_o of_o misery_n it_o be_v a_o apostolical_a virtue_n to_o be_v satisfy_v and_o content_v in_o whatsoever_o condition_n it_o please_v god_n to_o place_v one_o to_o but_o i_o be_o rather_o of_o the_o belief_n that_o a_o young_a beautiful_a widow_n that_o lead_v a_o strict_a virtuous_a unmarried_a life_n lead_v a_o kind_n of_o miraculous_a one_o in_o as_o much_o as_o she_o be_v bear_v a_o subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o to_o the_o

mortification_n as_o to_o be_v so_o much_o mistress_n of_o herself_o and_o of_o her_o own_o youthful_a temper_n and_o inclination_n as_o to_o resist_v the_o press_a temptation_n of_o young_a handsome_a man_n with_o a_o unmoveable_a virtuous_a constancy_n such_o young_a widow_n do_v real_o live_v in_o this_o world_n as_o the_o papist_n say_v the_o nun_n do_v in_o their_o nunnery_n that_o they_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n as_o if_o they_o have_v no_o body_n and_o sure_o since_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o a_o virtue_n that_o overcome_v the_o high_a difficulty_n fierce_a inclination_n

as_o to_o the_o outward_a mark_n of_o our_o knowledge_n since_o a_o widow_n that_o live_v in_o a_o true_a conformity_n to_o such_o a_o strict_a pious_a life_n resemble_v most_o and_o approach_v close_a to_o the_o heavenly_a one_o which_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o best_a as_o come_v near_o to_o perfection_n for_o she_o decline_v the_o natural_a commerce_n of_o the_o body_n to_o enjoy_v the_o
