hubbub_n to_o see_v one_o of_o these_o old_a antiquity_n i_o mean_v a_o lady_n that_o be_v so_o far_o spend_v in_o year_n that_o she_o be_v ready_a for_o the_o grave_n and_o more_o wisdom_n for_o she_o to_o provide_v herself_o a_o wind_a sheet_n then_o to_o suit_n herself_o in_o colour_a silk_n in_o gawdy_a attire_n to_o cover_v her_o hoary_a scalp_n with_o a_o curll'd-perewig_n and_o to_o

proverb_n that_o our_o old_a horse_n will_v have_v a_o new_a saddle_n and_o what_o be_v become_v of_o that_o modesty_n that_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v among_o young_a woman_n when_o maiden_n do_v now_o

i_o remember_v i_o have_v read_v in_o a_o french_a history_n of_o a_o duke_n of_o guyse_n that_o be_v well_o know_v to_o keep_v mounseur_fw-fr granduyle_n wife_n who_o be_v a_o gentleman_n of_o

oath_n that_o he_o have_v rather_o be_v account_v the_o noble_a duke_n of_o guyses_n bastard_n then_o to_o be_v repute_v cuckold_n granduyle_n son_n and_o in_o this_o humour_n he_o forsake_v his_o inheritance_n and_o leave_v it_o to_o his_o young_a brother_n now_o of_o my_o conscience_n a_o number_n of_o our_o gallant_a girl_n in_o these_o day_n be_v of_o the_o same_o disposition_n they_o have_v rather_o be_v account_v a_o harlot_n to_o some_o great_a personage_n than_o a_o honest_a man_n wife_n and_o all_o thing_n consider_v they_o be_v partly_o to_o be_v excuse_v when_o such_o

truth_n of_o a_o harlot_n we_o may_v call_v a_o scold_n a_o scold_n and_o it_o may_v pass_v without_o any_o great_a peril_n but_o we_o can_v call_v a_o whore_n a_o whore_n but_o with_o danger_n for_o if_o she_o be_v able_a to_o put_v on_o a_o silken_a outside_n and_o to_o fee_v a_o proctor_n in_o the_o commissary_n court_n though_o she_o be_v a_o know_a strumpet_n by_o the_o report_n of_o all_o
