love_v ¶_o why_o do_v lover_n so_o often_o break_v their_o faith_n and_o promise_n one_o to_o a_o other_o youth_n abound_v in_o heat_n and_o be_v subject_a to_o diverse_a and_o many_o thing_n and_o can_v not_o stay_v itself_o in_o one_o thought_n whereby_o it_o procee_v that_o the_o auncientes_n have_v make_v venus_n the_o mother_n of_o love_n who_o many_o lover_n do_v follow_v ¶_o do_v you_o think_v that_o by_o magic_a art_n the_o heart_n of_o a_o obstinate_a woman_n may_v be_v mitigate_v to_o condescend_v to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o a_o lover_n all_o they_o that_o have_v write_v of_o natural_a thing_n affirm_v the_o same_o the_o divine_n say_v contrary_a and_o i_o in_o the_o diversity_n of_o opinion_n in_o so_o great_a man_n dare_v not_o declare_v my_o own_o ¶_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o a_o covetouse_n man_n may_v become_v amorous_a the_o force_n of_o love_n have_v always_o be_v more_o brave_a and_o fine_a than_o those_o of_o covetousness_n so_o i_o believe_v that_o love_n can_v not_o only_o make_v the_o covetouse_n liberal_a but_o also_o prodigal_a for_o as_o the_o covetouse_n have_v have_v no_o measure_n to_o get_v good_n so_o they_o may_v have_v as_o little_a to_o spend_v they_o if_o they_o think_v that_o by_o money_n they_o may_v enjoy_v the_o thing_n that_o they_o love_v ¶_o wherefore_o have_v man_n more_o liberty_n than_o woman_n to_o love_n in_o more_o place_n than_o one_o take_v modesty_n shamefastness_n and_o fear_v from_o woman_n and_o you_o take_v away_o their_o life_n which_o chance_v not_o to_o man_n ¶_o wherefore_o be_v lover_n continual_o ready_a to_o demand_v the_o hearty_a good_a will_n of_o they_o that_o they_o love_n the_o heart_n be_v the_o feat_n of_o desire_n and_o of_o all_o knowledge_n all_o which_o be_v ready_a to_o obey_v the_o thing_n that_o it_o love_v the_o image_n whereof_o represent_v itself_o pleasant_a before_o the_o eye_n of_o lover_n do_v ravishe_v from_o they_o both_o the_o hart_n and_o the_o principal_a part_n and_o thereof_o it_o come_v that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v rob_v of_o themselves_o and_o oppress_v with_o intolerable_a bondage_n they_o require_v with_o all_o importunity_n to_o be_v restore_v and_o place_v in_o their_o entire_a and_o former_a estate_n ¶_o whereof_o come_v it_o that_o common_o we_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v allure_v to_o love_v thing_n whereof_o there_o be_v no_o hope_n to_o attain_v unto_o that_o be_v for_o lack_v of_o knowledge_n of_o the_o beginning_n of_o love_n the_o which_o be_v light_a and_o little_a and_o although_o that_o all_o hope_n be_v cut_v of_o and_o take_v from_o we_o to_o enjoy_v the_o sweet_a embracemente_n which_o love_n do_v promise_n nevertheless_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o thing_n belove_v do_v delight_v we_o and_o the_o remembrance_n thereof_o do_v occupy_v the_o brain_n such_o passion_n have_v be_v call_v of_o our_o elder_n dom●ne_fw-la desire_n because_o they_o do_v still_o and_o stealinglie_o possess_v the_o hart_n unware_a and_o by_o little_a and_o little_o take_v increase_v and_o our_o reason_n shall_v not_o be_v hinder_v if_o it_o be_v sustain_v by_o hope_n ¶_o wherefore_o be_v all_o the_o joy_n of_o lover_n uncerteine_a because_o in_o love_n there_o do_v daily_o chance_v diverse_a casualty_n as_o suspicion_n jalousie_n fear_n anger_n peace_n refuse_v disdain_n ¶_o why_o be_v love_n compare_v to_o a_o dark_a labyrinth_n or_o maso_n because_o the_o entry_n and_o come_n in_o be_v easy_a and_o the_o go_v out_o impossible_a ¶_o wherefore_o do_v man_n compare_v love_n to_o a_o crocodill_n the_o nature_n of_o a_o crocodill_n after_o the_o mind_n of_o those_o that_o have_v write_v of_o natural_a thing_n be_v to_o follow_v those_o that_o fly_v from_o he_o and_o to_o fly_v from_o they_o that_o do_v follow_v he_o and_o so_o be_v it_o with_o love._n therefore_o i_o geve_v council_n that_o who_o soever_o will_v enjoy_v theffecte_n of_o his_o desire_n that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o sharp_a and_o egre_n to_o pursue_v and_o follow_v his_o lady_n ¶_o believe_v you_o that_o love_n &_o good_a judgement_n may_v be_v together_o i_o believe_v no_o for_o then_o the_o foul_a and_o deform_v shall_v never_o be_v belove_v but_o we_o see_v not_o only_o the_o contrary_a to_o happen_v but_o which_o be_v worst_a those_o that_o be_v the_o vile_a endue_v with_o moost_n treason_n and_o least_o loyalty_n and_o faith_n how_o foul_a so_o ever_o they_o be_v be_v moo_v common_o best_o belove_v whereof_o come_v it_o that_o diverse_a which_o love_v fervent_o to_o have_v some_o comfort_n do_v soudenlie_o lose_v that_o great_a heat_n of_o love_n all_o vehement_a love_n do_v not_o long_o continewe_v for_o within_o a_o while_n the_o spirit_n have_v leisure_n to_o examine_v itself_o and_o to_o return_v to_o due_a understanding_n think_v upon_o all_o thing_n that_o may_v violate_v and_o corrupt_v the_o same_o whereby_o the_o sensual_a appetite_n be_v by_o this_o mean_v restrain_v ¶_o why_o do_v man_n call_v love_v both_o flame_n and_o fire_n it_o be_v not_o possible_a better_a to_o express_v how_o insupportable_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v consider_v the_o heat_n of_o the_o desire_n which_o it_o

fire_n without_o any_o pity_n ¶_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o lover_n take_v pleasure_n to_o return_v so_o often_o to_o those_o place_n where_o they_o have_v have_v joy_n and_o solace_n of_o their_o love_n because_o in_o so_o do_v they_o conceive_v joy_n and_o the_o memory_n of_o that_o which_o they_o moo_v love_n do_v refresh_v they_o and_o it_o seem_v then_o that_o this_o remembrance_n do_v double_a the_o pleasure_n already_o receive_v ¶_o why_o be_v man_n rather_o amorous_a than_o woman_n for_o that_o they_o be_v of_o hot_a complexion_n and_o their_o spirit_n more_o quick_a and_o prompt_a ¶_o why_o be_v woman_n more_o firm_a and_o steadfast_a in_o love_n then_o man_n because_o thing_n which_o of_o themselves_o be_v cold_a be_v less_o subject_a to_o mobilitie_n and_o inconstancy_n than_o those_o that_o be_v hot_a ¶_o whereof_o come_v it_o that_o woman_n be_v more_o easy_o persuade_v to_o be_v love_v then_o man_n because_o they_o esteem_v themselves_o much_o more_o than_o there_o be_v cause_n ¶_o but_o why_o be_v they_o angry_a or_o why_o do_v they_o frown_v and_o lower_v when_o man_n say_v they_o be_v foul_a or_o old_a foulness_n moo_v common_o come_v of_o age_n and_o age_n be_v the_o high_a way_n to_o death_n which_o natural_o do_v annoy_n and_o displease_v all_o person_n ¶_o wherefore_o be_v it_o say_v that_o the_o cough_n and_o the_o passion_n of_o love_n can_v not_o be_v keep_v secret_a they_o be_v two_o thing_n of_o great_a force_n for_o the_o cough_n trouble_v the_o body_n can_v scantlie_o be_v conceal_v or_o hide_v love_n be_v a_o passion_n

comprehend_v and_o know_v so_o that_o without_o great_a pain_n and_o difficulty_n it_o can_v not_o be_v hide_v ¶_o from_o whence_o do_v the_o amorous_a send_v forth_o so_o many_o sigh_n their_o continual_a thought_n send_v all_o the_o heat_n to_o the_o heart_n whereof_o it_o come_v that_o necessary_o it_o be_v convenient_a for_o they_o to_o respire_v and_o breath_n of_o which_o respiration_n
