from_o we_o i_o confess_v there_o be_v some_o science_n of_o which_o woman_n be_v not_o at_o all_o hear_v speak_v because_o they_o be_v not_o the_o science_n of_o ordinary_a vent_n nor_o society_n alegebra_n geometry_n and_o the_o optic_n never_o or_o rare_o leave_v study_n and_o learned_a academy_n to_o come_v into_o the_o crowd_n and_o as_o their_o great_a use_n be_v to_o give_v just_a

that_o we_o shall_v make_v such_o application_n of_o they_o in_o the_o subject_n of_o converse_n and_o entertainment_n as_o to_o think_v and_o speak_v true_o and_o geometrical_o without_o make_v great_a show_n of_o our_o art_n all_o these_o observation_n on_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o mind_n may_v be_v easy_o gather_v among_o woman_n of_o a_o middle_a condition_n but_o if_o we_o advance_v

which_o can_v have_v do_v no_o less_o have_v their_o advantage_n be_v equal_a and_o see_v it_o be_v great_a injustice_n to_o believe_v that_o all_o woman_n be_v indiscreet_a because_o we_o know_v

that_o we_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o learning_n the_o one_o that_o we_o may_v attain_v to_o a_o true_a knowledge_n of_o the_o object_n of_o our_o science_n and_o the_o other_o that_o by_o such_o
