infuse_v a_o saving-grace_n by_o his_o tongue_n be_v rhet'rick_a for_o to_o preach_v several_a feign_a story_n in_o prose_n the_o second_o book_n the_o strict_a associate_n there_o be_v a_o

no_o lady_n say_v he_o then_o he_o have_v no_o divine_a soul_n say_v she_o be_v he_o a_o philosopher_n no_o madam_n say_v he_o then_o say_v she_o he_o have_v no_o rational_a soul_n be_v he_o a_o

be_v neither_o a_o poet_n a_o philosopher_n a_o historian_n a_o orator_n nor_o age_a yet_o he_o be_v a_o young_a beautiful_a man_n which_o be_v more_o acceptable_a to_o a_o fair_a lady_n sir_n say_v she_o youth_n and_o beauty_n appear_v worse_a in_o man_n than_o age_n and_o deformity_n in_o woman_n wherefore_o if_o it_o be_v in_o my_o power_n i_o will_v make_v a_o law_n that_o all_o young_a man_n shall_v be_v keep_v to_o their_o study_n so_o long_o as_o their_o effeminate_a beauty_n do_v last_o and_o old_a woman_n shall_v be_v put_v into_o cloister_n when_o their_o youth_n and_o beauty_n be_v past_a but_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o the_o custom_n of_o the_o world_n be_v otherwise_o for_o old_a woman_n and_o young_a man_n appear_v most_o to_o public_a view_n in_o the_o world_n when_o

in_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o praise_n then_o he_o say_v to_o the_o second_o gentleman_n and_o which_o like_v you_o best_o which_o do_v you_o mean_v answer_v he_o the_o country_n or_o kingdom_n why_o what_o difference_n be_v there_o betwixt_o say_v a_o country_n and_o a_o kingdom_n be_v reply_v to_o he_o great_a difference_n say_v he_o for_o to_o say_v a_o country_n be_v but_o such_o a_o circumference_n of_o earth_n and_o to_o say_v a_o kingdom_n be_v to_o say_v such_o a_o country_n manure_v inhabit_v or_o rather_o populate_v with_o man_n that_o dwell_v in_o city_n town_n and_o village_n that_o be_v govern_v by_o law_n either_o natural_a or_o artificial_a well_o which_o kingdom_n do_v you_o like_o best_a then_o true_o say_v he_o i_o can_v give_v a_o good_a judgement_n unless_o i_o have_v travel_v through_o every_o part_n in_o both_o kingdom_n and_o have_v take_v strict_a survey_n of_o their_o fort_n havens_n wood_n plain_n hill_n dale_n meadow_n pasture_n arable_a also_o of_o their_o architecture_n as_o city_n town_n village_n palace_n church_n theater_n of_o their_o law_n custom_n and_o ceremony_n of_o their_o commodity_n traffic_v and_o transportation_n of_o their_o climate_n and_o situation_n and_o of_o the_o several_a humour_n of_o the_o several_a people_n in_o each_o kingdom_n which_o will_v not_o only_o require_v a_o solid_a judgement_n and_o a_o clear_a understanding_n but_o a_o long_a life_n to_o judge_n of_o it_o all_o but_o say_v the_o other_o judge_v of_o as_o much_o as_o you_o have_v see_v to_o judge_n of_o part_n answer_v he_o be_v not_o to_o judge_n of_o the_o whole_a but_o to_o judge_n of_o as_o much_o as_o i_o have_v see_v i_o will_v compare_v they_o or_o similar_v the_o part_n of_o those_o two_o kingdom_n to_o two_o lady_n who_o face_n i_o have_v only_o see_v their_o body_n and_o constitution_n be_v unknown_a the_o one_o that_o a_o large_a and_o fair_a forehead_n than_o the_o other_o and_o a_o more_o sanguine_a complexion_n the_o other_o have_v better_a eye_n eyebrow_n and_o mouth_n so_o france_n be_v a_o broad_a and_o plain_a country_n and_o the_o climate_n be_v more_o clear_a and_o somewhat_o hot_a than_o england_n and_o england_n have_v better_a seaport_n heaven_n and_o navigable_a river_n than_o france_n have_v also_o the_o one_o have_v a_o more_o haughty_a look_v than_o the_o other_o and_o the_o other_o a_o more_o please_a and_o modest_a countenance_n so_o france_n appear_v more_o majestical_a and_o england_n more_o amiable_a the_o vulgar_a fight_v a_o young_a gentleman_n of_o a_o good_a
