of_o the_o flint_n but_o he_o that_o strike_v it_o none_o know_v where_o the_o shoe_n pinch_v but_o he_o that_o wear_v it_o it_o be_v say_v that_o a_o man_n shall_v eat_v a_o hushell_n of_o salt_n with_o one_o which_o he_o mean_v to_o make_v his_o friend_n before_o he_o put_v any_o great_a confidence_n or_o trust_v he_o and_o if_o thou_o be_v so_o long_o in_o choose_v a_o friend_n a_o my_o

thou_o halt_v taste_v of_o ten_o quarter_n of_o sorrow_n and_o for_o every_o dram_n of_o pleasure_n a_o ounce_n of_o pain_n and_o for_o every_o pint_n of_o honey_n a_o gallon_n of_o gall_n and_o for_o every_o inch_n of_o mirth_n a_o ell_n of_o moan_n in_o the_o beginning_n a_o woman_n love_n seem_v delightful_a but_o end_v with_o destruction_n therefore_o he_o that_o trust_v to_o the_o love_n of_o

to_o advise_v thou_o to_o choose_v the_o least_o woman_n for_o the_o little_a woman_n be_v as_o unhappy_a as_o the_o great_a for_o though_o their_o stature_n be_v little_a yet_o their_o heart_n be_v

what_o be_v his_o end_n and_o he_o still_o answer_v misery_n there_o be_v six_o kind_n of_o woman_n which_o thou_o shall_v take_v heed_n that_o thou_o match_v not_o thyself_o to_o any_o one_o of_o they_o that_o be_v to_o say_v good_a nor_o bad_a fair_a nor_o foul_a rich_a nor_o poor_a for_o if_o thou_o marry_v one_o that_o be_v good_a thou_o may_v quick_o spill_v she_o with_o too_o much_o make_v of_o she_o for_o when_o provender_n prick_v a_o woman_n than_o she_o will_v grow_v knavish_a and_o if_o bad_a than_o thou_o must_v support_v she_o in_o all_o her_o bad_a action_n and_o that_o will_v be_v so_o wearisome_a unto_o thou_o that_o thou_o have_v as_o good_a draw_v water_n continual_o to_o fill_v a_o bottomless_a tub_n if_o she_o be_v fair_a than_o thou_o must_v do_v nothing_o

she_o be_v poor_a than_o thou_o must_v maintain_v she_o for_o if_o a_o woman_n be_v never_o so_o rich_a in_o dowry_n happy_a by_o her_o good_a name_n beautiful_a of_o body_n sober_a of_o countenance_n eloquent_a in_o speech_n and_o adorn_v with_o virtue_n yet_o they_o have_v one_o ill_a quality_n or_o other_o which_o overthrow_v all_o the_o other_o like_v unto_o that_o cow_n which_o give_v great_a store_n of_o milk_n and_o present_o strike_v it_o down_o with_o her_o foot_n such_o a_o cow_n be_v as_o much_o to_o be_v blame_v for_o the_o loss_n as_o to_o be_v commend_v for_o the_o gift_n or_o like_v as_o when_o man_n talk_v of_o such_o a_o man_n or_o such_o a_o man_n he_o be_v a_o excellent_a good_a workman_n or_o he_o be_v a_o good_a chirurgeon_n or_o a_o good_a physician_n or_o he_o be_v

i_o say_v if_o he_o be_v endue_v with_o all_o the_o former_a quality_n yet_o they_o can_v gain_v he_o so_o much_o credit_n to_o counterpoise_v the_o discredit_n that_o come_v thereby_o it_o be_v say_v of_o man_n that_o they_o have_v that_o one_o fault_n but_o of_o woman_n it_o be_v say_v that_o they_o have_v two_o fault_n that_o be_v to_o say_v they_o can_v neither_o say_v well_o nor_o do_v well_o there_o be_v a_o say_n that_o go_v thus_o that_o thing_n far_o fetch_v and_o dear_a buy_v be_v of_o we_o most_o dear_o belove_v the_o like_a may_v be_v say_v of_o woman_n although_o many_o of_o they_o be_v not_o far_o fetch_v yet_o they_o be_v dear_a buy_v yea_o and_o so_o dear_a that_o many_o a_o man_n curse_v his_o hard_a pennyworth_n and_o banne_n his_o own_o heart_n for_o the_o pleasure_n of_o the_o fair_a woman_n in_o the_o world_n last_v but_o a_o honey_n moon_n that_o be_v while_o a_o man_n have_v glut_v his_o affection_n and_o reap_v the_o first_o fruit_n his_o pleasure_n be_v past_o sorrow_n and_o repentance_n remain_v still_o with_o he_o therefore_o to_o make_v thou_o the_o strong_a to_o strive_v against_o these_o tame_a serpent_n thou_o shall_v have_v more_o string_n to_o thy_o

burn_v this_o other_o faggot_n and_o so_o to_o our_o matter_n again_o if_o a_o woman_n be_v never_o so_o comely_a think_v she_o a_o counterfeit_n if_o never_o so_o straight_o think_v she_o crooked_a if_o she_o be_v well_o set_v call_v she_o a_o boss_n if_o slender_a a_o hazel_n twig_n if_o brown_a think_v she_o as_o black_a as_o a_o crow_n if_o well-coloured_a a_o paint_a wall_n if_o sad_a or_o shamefaced_a then_o think_v she_o a_o clown_n if_o merry_a and_o pleasant_a than_o she_o be_v the_o like_a to_o be_v a_o wanton_a but_o if_o thou_o be_v such_o a_o fool_n that_o thou_o will_v spend_v thy_o time_n and_o treasure_n the_o one_o in_o the_o love_n of_o woman_n and_o the_o other_o to_o delight_v they_o in_o my_o mind_n thou_o resemble_v the_o simple_a indian_n who_o apparel_n

at_o sea_n have_v see_v the_o danger_n and_o he_o that_o be_v marry_v can_v tell_v of_o his_o own_o woe_n but_o he_o that_o be_v never_o burn_v will_v never_o dread_v the_o fire_n some_o will_v go_v to_o dice_n although_o they_o see_v other_o lose_v all_o their_o money_n at_o play_n and_o some_o will_v marry_v though_o they_o beg_v together_o be_v it_o not_o strange_a that_o man_n shall_v be_v so_o foolish_a to_o dote_v on_o woman_n who_o differ_v so_o far_o in_o nature_n from_o man_n for_o a_o man_n delight_n in_o arm_n &_o in_o hear_v the_o rattle_a drum_n but_o a_o woman_n love_v to_o hear_v sweet_a music_n on_o the_o lute_n cittern_n or_o bandora_n a_o man_n rejoice_v to_o march_v among_o the_o murder_a carcase_n but_o a_o woman_n to_o dance_v on_o a_o silken_a carpet_n a_o man_n
