most_o of_o her_o sex_n with_o less_o wisdom_n than_o they_o need_v to_o have_v real_o if_o handsome_a lady_n have_v but_o that_o share_n of_o prudence_n which_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v as_o good_a

by_o charm_v they_o with_o their_o own_o charm_n and_o disguise_v themselves_o to_o themselves_o and_o by_o tell_v they_o so_o often_o what_o they_o be_v not_o make_v they_o forget_v what_o they_o

real_o if_o young_a lady_n will_v but_o take_v a_o steady_a resolution_n to_o resist_v and_o slight_v all_o young_a man_n vain_a courtship_n and_o place_n no_o such_o high_a estimation_n on_o their_o

lady_n cool_v in_o their_o reception_n of_o it_o and_o so_o make_v man_n despise_v woman_n beauty_n suitable_a to_o their_o slight_a man_n love_n and_o thus_o woman_n prudence_n will_v become_v man_n

they_o think_v the_o young_a woman_n in_o they_o have_v too_o little_a beauty_n but_o because_o they_o believe_v they_o shall_v meet_v there_o with_o too_o great_a a_o resistance_n by_o the_o care_n

at_o best_a as_o if_o the_o youth_n of_o both_o sex_n be_v now_o so_o corrupt_a as_o that_o a_o young_a gentleman_n can_v visit_v a_o young_a lady_n nor_o a_o young_a lady_n receive_v visit_n from_o

without_o any_o far_a end_n and_o now_o i_o be_o beginning_n to_o enter_v into_o that_o part_n of_o this_o discourse_n which_o principal_o address_v itself_o to_o the_o handsome_a young_a maiden_n lady_n and_o chief_o among_o they_o to_o such_o as_o be_v innocent_o and_o modest_o breed_v for_o such_o sort_n of_o young_a woman_n often_o entertain_v discourse_n and_o make_v acquaintance_n with_o young_a man_n without_o the_o least_o thought_n of_o love_n or_o design_n of_o ill_a many_o of_o they_o look_v civil_o and_o talk_v free_o to_o they_o on_o no_o other_o account_n than_o to_o show_v

woman_n to_o consider_v that_o mere_a civil_a look_n often_o tempt_v and_o refusal_n may_v be_v give_v after_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o may_v rather_o embolden_v one_o to_o ask_v more_o than_o to_o beg_v pardon_n for_o have_v ask_v too_o much_o for_o as_o one_o well_o observe_v of_o strict_a virtuous_a woman_n that_o man_n come_v too_o near_o to_o they_o that_o come_v to_o be_v deny_v by_o they_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o very_o rare_a now_o a_o day_n for_o civil_a look_n in_o young_a woman_n to_o breed_v adulterous_a thought_n in_o young_a man_n for_o the_o gospel_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v a_o adultery_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a we_o ought_v all_o to_o remember_v with_o grief_n of_o mind_n that_o assoon_o as_o the_o serpent_n have_v persuade_v that_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n be_v pleasant_a to_o the_o eye_n it_o soon_o follow_v that_o it_o become_v delightful_a to_o the_o taste_n if_o man_n vow_v of_o love_n and_o oath_n of_o constancy_n can_v but_o once_o tempt_v young_a maid_n appetite_n to_o taste_v it_o will_v soon_o make_v they_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 and_o most_o youthful_a passion_n must_v needs_o excel_v all_o other_o then_o it_o can_v be_v in_o the_o least_o doubt_a but_o that_o a_o young_a handsome_a widow_n that_o lead_v a_o retire_v strict_a and_o unmarried_a life_n must_v needs_o in_o that_o kind_n surpass_v all_o other_o woman_n because_o she_o practise_v more_o the_o virtue_n of_o continence_n than_o any_o of_o they_o can_v i_o mean_v 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 better_a and_o spiritual_a contemplation_n of_o the_o

against_o they_o and_o the_o more_o ready_a they_o will_v be_v to_o embrace_v true_a felicity_n we_o read_v in_o scripture_n that_o the_o woman_n subjection_n to_o the_o man_n be_v lay_v on_o she_o

seldom_o in_o their_o thought_n as_o long_o as_o they_o live_v indeed_o i_o have_v know_v some_o young_a handsome_a widow_n who_o have_v love_v their_o own_o reputation_n and_o their_o husband_n memory_n so_o much_o as_o to_o continue_v some_o year_n in_o a_o strict_a deep_a mourn_a as_o well_o in_o their_o life_n as_o dress_v and_o i_o have_v also_o know_v other_o widow_n of_o the_o wild_a

mourn_v for_o a_o husband_n since_o it_o be_v a_o distemper_n of_o mind_n very_o few_o widow_n of_o our_o age_n be_v incline_v too_o and_o therefore_o not_o in_o danger_n of_o be_v infect_v with_o for_o most_o widow_n can_v tell_v we_o that_o they_o be_v so_o well_o read_v in_o the_o brave_a roman_a story_n who_o though_o they_o have_v no_o other_o bound_n to_o their_o aspire_a hope_n than_o the_o conquest_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n yet_o they_o still_o place_v their_o glory_n and_o praise_n as_o much_o in_o suffer_v well_o as_o in_o do_v so_o say_v as_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v overmuch_o exalt_v by_o prosperity_n so_o they_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v too_o much_o depress_v or_o cast_v down_o by_o adversity_n but_o to_o observe_v the_o golden_a rule_n of_o mediocrity_n in_o

tell_v you_o savour_v more_o of_o great_a folly_n than_o true_a wisdom_n since_o no_o woman_n by_o her_o matrimonial_a vow_n be_v engage_v to_o love_v her_o husband_n long_o than_o till_o death_n they_o do_v part_n and_o indeed_o as_o wife_n now_o go_v i_o think_v it_o be_v very_o extraordinary_a to_o meet_v one_o that_o true_o love_v her_o husband_n half_a so_o long_o in_o a_o word_n she_o

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

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

your_o virtue_n that_o you_o look_v upon_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 you_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 earch_o 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 deny_v this_o great_a truth_n that_o beauty_n be_v not_o absolute_o necessary_a to_o the_o good_a of_o this_o life_n but_o that_o piety_n be_v essential_o necessary_a both_o to_o the_o good_a of_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
