be_v studious_o intend_v to_o any_o sinful_a end_n the_o greek_a church_n general_o and_o most_o of_o the_o latin_a casuist_n as_o i_o have_v hear_v from_o learned_a man_n and_o traveller_n do_v

be_v a_o pure_a heart_n faith_n unfeigned_a and_o a_o good_a conscience_n what_o your_o ladyship_n object_n that_o the_o use_n of_o any_o artificial_a beauty_n may_v be_v a_o occasion_n to_o another_o

beam_n have_v a_o star-like_a sublimity_n and_o constancy_n of_o shine_v as_o to_o the_o change_n and_o alteration_n which_o be_v odious_o call_v a_o self-adulterating_a it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v some_o little_a change_n of_o the_o complexion_n from_o a_o great_a degree_n of_o pallor_n to_o a_o less_o possible_o to_o some_o little_a quicken_n of_o redness_n yet_o not_o so_o as_o to_o make_v any_o great_a change_n on_o the_o face_n or_o cheek_n then_o be_v frequent_o make_v by_o the_o blush_n of_o those_o that_o be_v of_o most_o modest_a look_n and_o tender_a forehead_n this_o make_v no_o more_o a_o new_a face_n or_o person_n so_o as_o to_o run_v any_o hazard_n of_o confusion_n or_o mistake_n then_o usual_o befall_v woman_n in_o their_o sickness_n and_o ordinary_a distemper_n
