i_o can_v do_v for_o they_o and_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o great_a need_n of_o such_o a_o book_n as_o may_v be_v a_o universal_a companion_n and_o guide_n to_o the_o female_a sex_n in_o all_o relation_n company_n condition_n and_o state_n of_o life_n even_o from_o childhood_n down_o to_o old-age_n and_o from_o the_o lady_n at_o the_o court_n to_o the_o cookmaid_n in_o the_o country_n i_o

and_o guide_n also_o the_o second_o part_n of_o youth_n behaviour_n and_o what_o other_o book_n i_o think_v pertinent_a and_o proper_a to_o make_v up_o a_o complete_a book_n that_o may_v have_v a_o universal_a usefulness_n and_o to_o that_o end_n i_o do_v not_o only_o make_v use_n of_o they_o but_o also_o of_o all_o other_o especial_o those_o that_o have_v be_v late_o write_v in_o the_o french_a and_o italian_a language_n for_o as_o the_o thing_n treat_v of_o be_v many_o and_o various_a so_o be_v my_o help_n i_o hope_v the_o reader_n will_v not_o think_v it_o much_o that_o as_o the_o famous_a

that_o he_o may_v present_v they_o all_o in_o one_o entire_a piece_n of_o workmanship_n and_o frame_n so_o i_o when_o i_o be_v to_o write_v of_o physic_n and_o chirurgery_n have_v consult_v all_o
