as_o they_o be_v man_n bring_v up_o under_o one_o civil_a government_n in_o law_n and_o religion_n with_o we_o and_o in_o the_o three_o pipe_n run_v that_o natural_a love_n wherewith_o we_o love_v our_o kindred_n or_o friend_n as_o they_o be_v of_o the_o blood_n or_o to_o who_o we_o be_v bind_v by_o some_o special_a obligation_n of_o amity_n to_o let_v the_o humane_a and_o civil_a love_n run_v out_o as_o man_n be_v please_v to_o convey_v it_o forth_o from_o the_o fountain_n of_o their_o heart_n i_o will_v only_o fix_v my_o meditation_n upon_o this_o natural_a love_n and_o of_o that_o i_o will_v not_o write_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o love_n of_o parent_n to_o their_o child_n or_o brother_n to_o brother_n etc._n etc._n although_o i_o know_v their_o love_n may_v be_v very_o great_a but_o i_o will_v only_o insist_v to_o write_v what_o that_o natural_a love_n be_v wherewith_o a_o man_n be_v affect_v to_o a_o woman_n and_o herein_o i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v to_o mean_v that_o lustful_a love_n which_o be_v common_o cover_v under_o this_o title_n although_o experience_n show_v that_o it_o be_v very_o powerful_a in_o who_o heart_n soever_o it_o be_v kindle_v and_o be_v a_o rage_a passion_n as_o all_o love_n be_v if_o it_o be_v not_o keep_v in_o as_o fire_n within_o the_o chimney_n &_o the_o sea_n within_o his_o bound_n it_o be_v a_o foolish_a madness_n a_o labyrinth_n of_o error_n and_o a_o miserable_a thraldom_n before_o it_o can_v be_v obtain_v but_o if_o the_o lover_n do_v fulfil_v his_o desire_n what_o have_v he_o get_v but_o a_o rack_n to_o his_o mind_n a_o torture_n to_o his_o soul_n a_o gibbet_n to_o his_o conscience_n a_o stain_n to_o his_o reputation_n and_o a_o please_a yet_o fatal_a poison_n this_o breed_v a_o consumption_n in_o his_o purse_n rottenness_n in_o his_o bone_n and_o a_o blot_n in_o his_o good_a name_n but_o if_o this_o love_n be_v in_o the_o lawful_a way_n of_o marriage_n as_o this_o kind_n be_v seldom_o to_o that_o effect_n then_o if_o the_o lover_n do_v make_v his_o choice_n only_o for_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o body_n without_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o mind_n he_o may_v find_v one_o that_o may_v please_v his_o eye_n but_o common_o she_o prove_v a_o wanton_a helen_n or_o a_o traitorous_a dallila_n one_o that_o will_v consume_v his_o wealth_n and_o work_v his_o destruction_n or_o else_o such_o a_o one_o that_o will_v make_v he_o a_o scoff_a stock_n to_o the_o world_n by_o cunning_a plant_n upon_o his_o head_n actaeon_n livery_n thus_o for_o pleasure_n he_o get_v misery_n and_o for_o a_o beautiful_a outside_n embrace_v a_o snake_n in_o his_o bosom_n poison_n in_o his_o meat_n and_o gall_n in_o his_o drink_n again_o i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v to_o mean_v that_o covetous_a desire_n which_o be_v also_o common_o clothe_v with_o this_o title_n and_o in_o these_o day_n chief_o embrace_v when_o a_o man_n do_v only_o choose_v a_o wife_n for_o riches_n although_o he_o can_v like_v her_o person_n much_o less_o love_v she_o such_o may_v meet_v with_o one_o that_o may_v fulfil_v his_o desire_n with_o wealth_n but_o common_o she_o prove_v a_o scold_a xantippe_n one_o that_o will_v be_v always_o scold_v rail_a and_o taunt_a he_o and_o with_o who_o he_o shall_v never_o live_v one_o quiet_a hour_n thus_o for_o a_o little_a wealth_n he_o be_v always_o pinch_v with_o a_o strait_a shoe_n live_v in_o continual_a vexation_n and_o at_o the_o last_o be_v force_v to_o leave_v she_o because_o he_o can_v live_v quiet_o with_o she_o but_o this_o be_v not_o the_o love_n which_o i_o purpose_v to_o describe_v for_o this_o be_v carnal_a earthly_a and_o sinful_a but_o the_o other_o be_v natural_a honest_a and_o commendable_a which_o be_v a_o honest_a desire_n of_o the_o
