the_o general_n reply_v i_o will_v give_v you_o twice_o as_o many_o time_n to_o do_v it_o the_o application_n be_v easy_a according_a to_o this_o rule_n what_o strange_a inference_n do_v natural_o

genteely_a dispatch_v by_o his_o doctor_n now_o certain_o any_o man_n will_v be_v of_o a_o weak_a capacity_n to_o endure_v these_o thing_n and_o therefore_o the_o duty_n of_o servant_n client_n and_o

a_o marry_a life_n be_v owe_v to_o the_o indiscretion_n and_o folly_n of_o disobedient_a wife_n now_o if_o this_o gentleman_n have_v spend_v the_o time_n pass_v of_o his_o life_n in_o make_v these_o

that_o his_o lucubration_n produce_v such_o sermon_n as_o this_o on_o so_o solemn_a a_o occasion_n i_o suppose_v in_o his_o observation_n he_o always_o happen_v to_o have_v the_o woman_n on_o that_o

thing_n quite_o contrary_a to_o this_o when_o he_o say_v of_o eve_n daughter_n or_o woman_n in_o general_a that_o if_o they_o will_v have_v husband_n and_o have_v they_o good_a they_o must_v take_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o care_n and_o pain_n to_o make_v they_o so_o p._n 18._o therefore_o certain_o they_o find_v they_o very_o bad_a if_o they_o must_v take_v so_o much_o pain_n to_o make_v they_o good_a and_o yet_o here_o he_o say_v the_o number_n of_o bad_a husband_n who_o their_o wife_n have_v find_v so_o be_v little_a or_o nothing_o compare_v with_o those_o they_o make_v so_o but_o the_o

than_o he_o be_v to_o we_o and_o shall_v no_o further_o insist_v on_o his_o fail_n then_o to_o manifest_v that_o they_o be_v such_o and_o for_o our_o own_o defence_n against_o a_o man_n who_o argument_n be_v like_o a_o two-edged_a sword_n and_o cut_v at_o once_o two_o contrary_a way_n and_o therefore_o i_o pass_v on_o to_o the_o four_o reason_n which_o be_v because_o the_o love_n of_o a_o

will_v be_v very_o persuasive_a no_o doubt_n but_o if_o he_o mean_v only_o reasonable_a and_o generous_a compliance_n such_o as_o be_v produce_v by_o the_o noble_a and_o resistless_a charm_n of_o mutual_a love_n i_o grant_v he_o it_o be_v true_a viz._n that_o the_o love_n of_o a_o husband_n very_o much_o depend_v on_o the_o love_n of_o a_o wife_n but_o my_o understanding_n be_v not_o so_o far_o enlighten_v as_o to_o see_v any_o reason_n in_o this_o why_o the_o woman_n shall_v be_v teeze_v and_o the_o man_n for_o ever_o escape_v and_o here_o again_o he_o have_v another_o paradox_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o if_o the_o wife_n become_v pliant_a and_o yield_a that_o be_v become_v a_o good_a easy_a tractable_a slave_n to_o her_o husband_n desire_n she_o then_o may_v do_v even_o what_o

be_v not_o owe_v to_o his_o temper_n his_o wish_n nor_o his_o discourse_n the_o 5_o the_o and_o the_o last_o reason_n he_o name_n be_v this_o because_o that_o all_o he_o pretend_v to_o be_v to_o lay_v

have_v be_v think_v a_o very_a strange_a argument_n why_o nothing_o shall_v be_v say_v to_o we_o but_o so_o it_o be_v and_o away_o he_o go_v with_o it_o and_o tell_v we_o as_o for_o good_a wife_n the_o knowledge_n and_o practice_n of_o their_o duty_n be_v so_o comfortable_a and_o pleasant_a to_o they_o that_o they_o be_v not_o list_v in_o the_o number_n of_o these_o objector_n and_o hereby_o

if_o it_o be_v as_o he_o think_v and_o say_v he_o have_v a_o very_a strong_a opinion_n of_o himself_o to_o imagine_v that_o one_o single_a sermon_n with_o its_o poor_a endeavour_n as_o he_o express_v
