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 observation_n he_o may_v have_v make_v a_o great_a many_o in_o his_o time_n and_o deserve_v the_o name_n of_o the_o new_a observator_fw-la and_o then_o no_o wonder_n have_v be_v otherwise_o employ_v 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 side_n he_o can_v see_v clear_a and_o either_o know_v not_o or_o wink_v at_o the_o man_n mismanagement_n but_o suppose_v it_o be_v true_a that_o his_o observation_n have_v furnish_v he_o with_o few_o

shall_v not_o scruple_n to_o affirm_v say_v he_o that_o the_o number_n of_o bad_a husband_n which_o their_o wife_n have_v make_v so_o be_v great_a by_o far_a than_o the_o number_n of_o those_o who_o their_o wife_n have_v find_v so_o under_o which_o head_n he_o be_v to_o be_v place_v i_o need_v not_o determine_v i_o have_v hear_v indeed_o before_o of_o a_o very_a short_a way_n of_o prove_v thing_n and_o that_o be_v by_o strong_a affirmation_n and_o this_o be_v a_o argument_n so_o ready_a at_o hand_n that_o it_o have_v be_v his_o inaccessible_a refuge_n in_o several_a place_n throughout_o the_o book_n yet_o i_o think_v here_o he_o have_v pass_v a_o act_n of_o oblivion_n upon_o himself_o and_o have_v forget_v that_o he_o use_v this_o very_a argument_n of_o strong_a affirmation_n in_o a_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 page_n lie_v at_o a_o convenient_a distance_n from_o one_o another_o and_o hope_v its_o like_a what_o sort_n of_o reader_n he_o be_v like_a to_o have_v he_o may_v think_v no_o notice_n will_v be_v take_v of_o it_o or_o that_o none_o will_v peruse_v the_o book_n but_o those_o that_o want_v sense_n to_o discover_v the_o mistake_n but_o i_o be_o willing_a to_o be_v more_o merciful_a to_o he_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 husband_n do_v very_o much_o depend_v upon_o the_o obedience_n of_o a_o wife_n p._n 6._o if_o by_o obedience_n he_o mean_v a_o servile_a subjection_n it_o be_v a_o very_a clear_a argument_n and_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 she_o please_v with_o he_o which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v if_o she_o be_v a_o perfect_a slave_n she_o may_v have_v her_o liberty_n i_o shall_v never_o be_v persuade_v that_o such_o gentleman_n who_o desire_v the_o subjection_n of_o their_o wife_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o confine_v they_o to_o the_o treatment_n of_o servant_n have_v any_o great_a opinion_n of_o their_o person_n or_o their_o liberty_n and_o yet_o after_o all_o this_o well-bred_a gentleman_n this_o learned_a doctor_n tell_v we_o we_o be_v more_o afraid_a than_o hurt_n and_o if_o we_o be_v i_o be_o sure_a it_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 our_o duty_n before_o we_o very_o well_o but_o where_o the_o consequence_n be_v suppose_v this_o be_v his_o true_a and_o upright_a intention_n i_o can_v tell_v it_o be_v true_a i_o grant_v he_o it_o will_v prove_v that_o we_o ought_v to_o hearken_v to_o it_o but_o however_o it_o do_v not_o offer_v any_o reason_n why_o the_o other_o part_n shall_v not_o be_v insist_v on_o for_o the_o selfsame_a argument_n will_v bring_v the_o man_n upon_o the_o stage_n if_o he_o have_v but_o say_v you_o gentleman_n husband_n i_o design_v to_o say_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v your_o duty_n this_o will_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 it_o can_v make_v so_o many_o bad_a woman_n good_a when_o the_o number_n of_o the_o bad_a according_a to_o his_o computation_n be_v a_o thousand_o to_o one_o these_o five_o reason_n he_o imagine_v

if_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o give_v they_o the_o character_n of_o dutiful_a and_o obedient_a wife_n then_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o good_a wife_n be_v not_o offend_v with_o his_o discourse_n
