for_o there_o all_o young_a gentlewoman_n be_v keep_v and_o breed_v up_o in_o a_o strict_a confinement_n in_o nunnery_n till_o marry_v and_o when_o they_o be_v so_o be_v keep_v but_o a_o kind_n of_o

over_o they_o rather_o than_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o their_o own_o natural_a temper_n or_o virtuous_a inclination_n but_o for_o my_o own_o part_n as_o i_o utter_o detest_v the_o severity_n husband_n use_v to_o their_o wife_n in_o italy_n so_o i_o do_v not_o altogether_o approve_v the_o great_a freedom_n that_o many_o husband_n do_v allow_v their_o wife_n in_o england_n or_o their_o wife_n will_v allow_v themselves_o some_o husband_n grant_v they_o such_o large_a range_v of_o liberty_n as_o they_o by_o it_o often_o show_v more_o alonfidence_n in_o their_o wife_n than_o discretion_n in_o

i_o believe_v as_o many_o husband_n have_v make_v their_o wife_n dishonest_a by_o too_o much_o mistrust_v they_o for_o revenge_n be_v very_o sweet_a and_o natural_a to_o woman_n so_o i_o also_o believe_v some_o wife_n have_v be_v make_v dishonest_a by_o their_o husband_n too_o much_o trust_v they_o opportunity_n often_o make_v a_o thief_n which_o have_v not_o perhaps_o be_v a_o thief_n but_o for_o the_o opportunity_n the_o italian_n have_v a_o certain_a way_n of_o reason_v as_o to_o the_o secure_v their_o wife_n by_o say_v that_o no_o wife_n can_v be_v dishonest_a without_o a_o

but_o god_n forbid_v that_o all_o man_n that_o have_v opportunity_n shall_v be_v thief_n or_o that_o all_o woman_n that_o allow_v man_n opportunity_n shall_v allow_v they_o enjoyment_n for_o though_o

he_o will_v not_o trust_v the_o great_a god_n with_o his_o wife_n when_o she_o be_v alone_o in_o bed_n and_o ask_v i_o not_o only_o with_o a_o serious_a but_o furious_a countenance_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o strange_a report_n can_v be_v true_a that_o the_o marry_a woman_n in_o england_n have_v liberty_n to_o go_v abroad_o with_o man_n and_o to_o receive_v visit_n from_o they_o in_o their_o chamber_n nay_o sometime_o when_o they_o be_v in_o bed_n i_o assure_v he_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o the_o woman_n of_o the_o high_a quality_n great_a esteem_n and_o best_a

they_o be_v in_o bed_n and_o by_o near_a kindred_n at_o all_o time_n and_o that_o this_o freedom_n be_v allow_v by_o virtuous_a and_o great_a woman_n to_o man_n without_o the_o least_o scandal_n for_o
