desire_v to_o be_v inform_v both_o of_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o religion_n and_o government_n and_o to_o that_o end_n she_o call_v the_o priest_n and_o statesman_n to_o give_v she_o a_o account_n of_o either_o of_o the_o statesman_n she_o inquire_v first_o why_o they_o have_v so_o few_o law_n to_o which_o they_o answer_v that_o many_o law_n make_v many_o division_n which_o most_o common_o do_v

that_o as_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o one_o body_n to_o have_v but_o one_o head_n so_o it_o be_v also_o natural_a for_o a_o politic_a body_n to_o have_v but_o one_o governor_n and_o that_o a_o

with_o our_o religion_n for_o as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n who_o we_o all_o unanimous_o worship_n and_o adore_v with_o one_o faith_n so_o we_o be_v resolve_v to_o have_v but_o one_o emperor_n to_o who_o we_o all_o submit_v with_o one_o obedience_n then_o the_o empress_n see_v that_o the_o several_a sort_n of_o her_o subject_n have_v each_o their_o church_n apart_o ask_v the_o priest_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o several_a religion_n they_o answer_v her_o majesty_n that_o there_o be_v no_o more_o but_o one_o religion_n in_o all_o that_o world_n nor_o no_o diversity_n of_o opinion_n in_o that_o same_o religion_n for_o though_o there_o be_v several_a sort_n of_o man_n yet_o have_v they_o all_o but_o one_o opinion_n concern_v the_o worship_n and_o adoration_n of_o god_n the_o empress_n ask_v they_o whether_o they_o be_v jew_n turk_n or_o christian_n we_o do_v not_o know_v say_v they_o what_o religion_n those_o be_v but_o we_o do_v all_o unanimous_o acknowledge_v worship_n and_o adore_v the_o only_a omnipotenr_n and_o eternal_a god_n with_o all_o reverence_n submission_n and_o duty_n again_o the_o empress_n inquire_v whether_o they_o have_v several_a form_n of_o

thanksgiving_n etc._n etc._n true_o reply_v the_o empress_n i_o think_v you_o have_v be_v either_o jew_n or_o turk_n because_o i_o never_o perceive_v any_o woman_n in_o your_o congregation_n but_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n you_o bar_v they_o from_o your_o religious_a assembly_n it_o be_v not_o fit_a say_v they_o that_o man_n and_o woman_n shall_v be_v promiscuous_o together_o in_o time_n of_o religious_a worship_n for_o their_o company_n hinder_v devotion_n and_o make_v many_o instead_o of_o pray_v to_o god_n direct_v their_o devotion_n to_o their_o mistress_n but_o ask_v the_o empress_n have_v they_o no_o congregation_n of_o their_o own_o to_o perform_v the_o duty_n of_o divine_a worship_n as_o well_o as_o man_n no_o answer_v they_o but_o they_o stay_v at_o home_n and_o say_v their_o prayer_n by_o themselves_o in_o their_o closet_n then_o the_o empress_n desire_v to_o know_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o priest_n and_o governor_n of_o their_o world_n be_v make_v eunuch_n they_o answer_v to_o keep_v they_o from_o marriage_n for_o woman_n and_o child_n most_o common_o make_v disturbance_n both_o in_o church_n and_o state_n but_o say_v she_o woman_n and_o child_n have_v no_o employment_n in_o church_n or_o state_n it_o be_v true_a answer_v they_o but_o although_o they_o be_v not_o admit_v to_o public_a employment_n yet_o be_v they_o so_o prevalent_a with_o their_o husband_n and_o parent_n that_o many_o time_n by_o their_o importunate_a persuasion_n they_o cause_v as_o much_o nay_o more_o mischief_n secret_o then_o if_o they_o have_v the_o management_n of_o public_a affair_n the_o empress_n have_v receive_v a_o information_n of_o what_o concern_v both_o church_n and_o state_n pass_v some_o time_n in_o view_v the_o imperial_a palace_n where_o she_o

they_o answer_v her_o majesty_n that_o the_o low_a their_o building_n be_v the_o less_o be_v they_o subject_a either_o to_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o sun_n or_o wind_n tempest_n decay_n etc._n etc._n
