run_v far_o into_o this_o point_n of_o the_o pride_n of_o woman_n but_o it_o be_v not_o my_o purpose_n to_o do_v it_o but_o rather_o to_o follow_v the_o example_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o tell_v

which_o be_v very_o needful_a for_o woman_n both_o to_o learn_v &_o to_o observe_v as_o appear_v by_o the_o instruction_n which_o the_o bless_a apostle_n give_v unto_o his_o son_n titus_n whereby_o

that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o evil_o speak_v of_o but_o many_o of_o these_o thing_n i_o have_v in_o some_o sort_n touch_v before_o only_o here_o i_o will_v have_v woman_n take_v norise_v of_o a_o thing_n or_o two_o not_o yet_o speak_v of_o and_o so_o i_o will_v draw_v to_o a_o conclusion_n the_o apostle_n warn_v they_o not_o to_o be_v false_a accuser_n and_o this_o touch_v busy_a body_n of_o our_o time_n which_o will_v go_v prattle_v to_o carry_v news_n and_o bring_v debate_n tongue_n the_o husband_n smart_n sometime_o for_o the_o wife_n tongue_n and_o contention_n among_o

which_o otherwise_o will_v live_v in_o love_n and_o peace_n together_o this_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v among_o woman_n but_o to_o be_v such_o as_o solomon_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o last_o of_o his_o proverb_n who_o speak_v there_o of_o a_o virtuous_a woman_n she_o will_v say_v he_o open_v her_o mouth_n with_o wisdom_n and_o the_o law_n of_o grace_n be_v in_o her_o tongue_n &_o do_v thus_o shall_v they_o be_v able_a to_o perform_v the_o thing_n here_o command_v and_o to_o instruct_v other_o in_o the_o duty_n belong_v unto_o they_o again_o he_o command_v that_o woman_n be_v not_o give_v to_o much_o wine_n &_o i_o will_v that_o woman_n be_v more_o careful_a to_o avoid_v this_o sin_n than_o drink_n woman_n ought_v not_o to_o delight_v in_o much_o drink_n of_o wine_n or_o strong_a drink_n they_o be_v for_o we_o have_v too_o many_o women-drunkard_n among_o we_o as_o well_o as_o men-drunkard_n now_o adays_o the_o more_o be_v the_o pity_n but_o woe_n be_v to_o those_o that_o rise_v up_o

to_o drink_v wine_n and_o to_o they_o that_o be_v strong_a to_o pour_v in_o strong_a drink_n great_a be_v the_o plague_n of_o a_o drunken_a woman_n say_v the_o wise_a man_n for_o she_o can_v cover_v she_o own_o shame_n we_o have_v example_n of_o this_o in_o noah_n and_o lot_n though_o otherways_o a_o righteous_a man_n yet_o be_v drink_v with_o wine_n commit_v incest_n with_o his_o own_o
