in_o all_o young_a woman_n temper_n yet_o it_o be_v far_o from_o be_v certain_a that_o woman_n love_n to_o their_o husband_n do_v still_o work_v strong_a in_o all_o young_a wife_n mind_n for_o

ought_v not_o to_o show_v too_o much_o kindness_n to_o the_o one_o nor_o declare_v too_o fierce_a a_o hatred_n against_o the_o other_o but_o to_o manage_v with_o discretion_n and_o moderation_n her_o carriage_n to_o both_o and_o to_o admit_v piety_n virtue_n and_o due_a consideration_n to_o regulate_v all_o her_o action_n and_o she_o that_o observe_v these_o good_a measure_n will_v be_v sure_a never_o to_o admit_v any_o person_n especial_o a_o lover_n any_o private_a freedom_n which_o she_o can_v honourable_o own_v and_o public_o justify_v far_o a_o virtuous_a woman_n ought_v still_o to_o carry_v in_o her_o mind_n that_o she_o be_v bind_v to_o satisfy_v all_o person_n as_o to_o her_o virtue_n as_o well_o as_o herself_o other_o tongue_n as_o well_o as_o her_o own_o heart_n nor_o ought_v a_o virtuous_a maid_n or_o wife_n to_o depend_v much_o upon_o her_o lover_n vow_n or_o oath_n of_o a_o true_a and_o constant_a love_n and_o a_o perfect_a unalterable_a friendship_n since_o most_o of_o their_o vow_n and_o love_n oath_n be_v build_v upon_o fade_a beauty_n which_o be_v but_o a_o sandy_a foundation_n their_o friendship_n common_o moulder_n away_o with_o the_o beauty_n that_o create_v it_o i_o shall_v therefore_o advise_v all_o handsome_a virtuous_a woman_n not_o to_o depend_v much_o on_o their_o lover_n fair_a word_n but_o on_o their_o own_o good_a action_n strict_a prudent_a carriage_n and_o pure_a virtuous_a life_n and_o she_o that_o observe_v these_o good_a measure_n will_v be_v sure_a not_o to_o show_v too_o much_o love_n or_o hatred_n to_o any_o man_n nor_o ever_o expose_v her_o reputation_n to_o her_o lover_n humour_n since_o by_o so_o do_v she_o be_v not_o long_o his_o queen_n and_o mistress_n but_o his_o subject_a and_o servant_n by_o trust_v her_o humour_n into_o his_o power_n and_o what_o be_v worse_o to_o his_o mercy_n and_o solomon_n the_o wise_a of_o man_n give_v man_n this_o good_a advice_n advoid_v suretyship_n and_o you_o shall_v be_v sure_a and_o the_o like_a caution_n and_o prudence_n also_o lead_v woman_n not_o to_o be_v bind_v for_o nor_o to_o trust_v in_o any_o beauty-lover_n oath_n for_o this_o good_a reason_n that_o if_o you_o never_o trust_v he_o he_o can_v never_o deceive_v you_o but_o if_o you_o do_v he_o may_v and_o as_o it_o be_v natural_a for_o all_o woman_n to_o hope_v the_o best_a so_o it_o be_v discreet_a in_o all_o woman_n to_o fear_v the_o worst_a and_o to_o arm_v themselves_o against_o other_o bad_a tongue_n as_o well_o as_o against_o their_o own_o ill_a acts._n and_o as_o discretion_n must_v ever_o be_v a_o great_a virtue_n among_o woman_n so_o indiscretion_n must_v ever_o be_v a_o great_a vice_n for_o all_o it_o be_v be_v a_o great_a mode_n i_o esteem_v indiscretion_n to_o be_v much_o alike_o to_o

from_o that_o moment_n shun_v he_o and_o forsake_v he_o this_o i_o confess_v seem_v to_o i_o such_o a_o paradox_n in_o love_n and_o be_v so_o extravagant_a so_o extraordinary_a and_o so_o high_o

to_o credit_v all_o malicious_a report_n than_o to_o search_v into_o any_o real_a truth_n to_o believe_v what_o man_n say_v than_o to_o examine_v what_o woman_n do_v and_o what_o character_n they_o

be_v such_o many_o of_o our_o young_a gallant_n be_v grow_v such_o subtle_a logician_n in_o the_o politic_n of_o make_v love_n as_o to_o form_v to_o themselves_o this_o manner_n of_o argue_v that_o

of_o the_o soul_n hereafter_o to_o conclude_v in_o a_o word_n the_o present_a modish_a superficial_a love_n of_o most_o of_o the_o fine_a young_a gallant_n to_o their_o mistress_n be_v become_v like_o

towards_o the_o woman_n they_o pretend_v a_o real_a kindness_n to_o and_o a_o concern_v for_o since_o he_o that_o be_v a_o woman_n true_a friend_n indeed_o must_v make_v it_o his_o main_a business_n

which_o be_v a_o title_n a_o real_a friend_n on_o the_o account_n of_o his_o true_a friendship_n aught_o as_o much_o to_o avoid_v as_o a_o true_o virtuous_a woman_n on_o score_n of_o her_o good_a reputation_n ought_v true_o to_o detest_v since_o it_o be_v a_o undeniable_a truth_n that_o no_o man_n can_v hearty_o love_v a_o woman_n person_n that_o do_v not_o true_o love_v and_o hearty_o endeavour_v to_o preserve_v her_o good_a name_n and_o make_v her_o honour_n part_n of_o his_o own_o nay_o i_o be_o far_a of_o opinion_n that_o no_o man_n do_v love_v a_o woman_n as_o a_o real_a perfect_a friend_n that_o do_v not_o love_v her_o reputation_n as_o much_o as_o if_o she_o be_v his_o real_a wife_n that_o be_v to_o be_v a_o true_a partner_n and_o joint-sharer_n in_o her_o good_a and_o bad_a fame_n whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a a_o mere_a amorous_a gallant_a be_v a_o friend_n to_o a_o woman_n mere_o because_o she_o be_v handsome_a and_o only_o love_v she_o because_o her_o beauty_n like_v he_o and_o so_o be_v a_o concern_v party_n only_o as_o to_o her_o good_a or_o bad_a look_n not_o her_o bad_a and_o good_a action_n therefore_o he_o use_v all_o his_o art_n and_o employ_v all_o his_o skill_n and_o endeavour_n to_o accomplish_v his_o wicked_a end_n on_o she_o he_o so_o eager_o court_v and_o if_o her_o piety_n and_o virtue_n be_v so_o great_a as_o she_o will_v not_o suffer_v he_o to_o enjoy_v she_o yet_o his_o wicked_a design_n be_v so_o vile_a as_o to_o strive_v to_o make_v all_o man_n believe_v he_o do_v it_o in_o a_o word_n this_o be_v the_o great_a difference_n between_o a_o true_a friend_n and_o a_o fop_n gallant_a the_o first_o make_v it_o his_o real_a design_n and_o hearty_a concern_v to_o preserve_v her_o reputation_n whereas_o the_o amorous_a gallant_a make_v it_o his_o grand_a business_n and_o sole_a aim_n to_o destroy_v it_o but_o most_o lady_n be_v so_o vain_a i_o have_v almost_o say_v foolish_a as_o to_o fancy_n they_o can_v defend_v themselves_o against_o all_o scandalous_a reflection_n on_o their_o reputation_n by_o the_o great_a strength_n of_o their_o wit_n but_o real_o the_o strength_n of_o such_o vain_a wit_n spring_v often_o but_o from_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o judgement_n therefore_o i_o shall_v caution_n that_o woman_n who_o depend_v so_o much_o on_o the_o greatness_n of_o her_o own_o wit_n to_o beware_v of_o two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v not_o to_o rely_v too_o much_o on_o her_o own_o wit_n the_o second_o not_o to_o depend_v too_o much_o on_o her_o gallant_n oath_n lest_o both_o fail_v she_o for_o indeed_o it_o be_v very_o common_a for_o young_a woman_n to_o have_v a_o better_a opinion_n of_o their_o own_o wit_n than_o they_o ought_v and_o
conclude_v that_o he_o have_v either_o speak_v ill_o of_o her_o reputation_n or_o have_v act_v some_o rudeness_n to_o her_o person_n already_o or_o that_o she_o have_v reason_n to_o fear_v he_o will_v do_v it_o hereafter_o and_o therefore_o have_v for_o bid_v he_o her_o company_n either_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o revenge_n for_o what_o be_v past_a or_o by_o the_o way_n of_o prevention_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v therefore_o i_o be_o clear_a of_o opinion_n a_o woman_n ought_v not_o to_o forbid_v a_o old_a friend_n and_o acquaintance_n visit_v she_o except_o it_o be_v upon_o one_o of_o these_o two_o name_v account_n or_o else_o upon_o the_o score_n that_o she_o have_v reason_n to_o believe_v her_o husband_n do_v not_o well_o relish_v his_o come_n so_o often_o to_o she_o and_o if_o that_o be_v the_o business_n if_o this_o her_o friend_n be_v what_o he_o real_o pretend_v to_o be_v and_o she_o seem_v to_o believe_v he_o be_v he_o can_v just_o take_v it_o ill_a that_o she_o free_o tell_v he_o that_o his_o visit_v she_o so_o constant_o though_o their_o converse_n be_v never_o so_o virtuous_a and_o innocent_a yet_o she_o have_v some_o cause_n to_o fear_n it_o have_v or_o may_v if_o long_o continue_v raise_v her_o husband_n dislike_n and_o the_o world_n censure_n therefore_o to_o prevent_v both_o and_o secure_v she_o own_o quiet_a and_o good_a reputation_n she_o friendly_o desire_v he_o for_o the_o future_a to_o make_v his_o visit_n short_a and_o seldomer_n to_o stop_v all_o busy_a ill-natured_a censurer_n tongue_n and_o any_o jealousy_n their_o malicious_a twatling_n may_v raise_v in_o her_o husband_n mind_n and_o sure_o if_o this_o her_o dear_a esteem_a friend_n true_o deserve_v that_o title_n he_o must_v value_v her_o honour_n as_o part_v of_o his_o own_o and_o make_v her_o content_a his_o satisfaction_n since_o she_o free_o and_o hearty_o assure_v he_o it_o be_v not_o at_o all_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o she_o lessen_v her_o true_a esteem_n and_o

though_o man_n can_v see_v her_o lip_n move_v when_o she_o whisper_v yet_o they_o can_v tell_v what_o she_o speak_v when_o she_o do_v so_o much_o less_o be_v they_o able_a to_o dive_v into_o either_o

experience_n that_o a_o marriage_n love_v build_v on_o bare_a beauty_n or_o mere_a fancy_n which_o be_v much_o alike_o can_v never_o stem_v the_o tide_n of_o the_o trouble_n of_o disappointment_n

much_o more_o secure_a as_o to_o the_o felicity_n of_o the_o next_o especial_o in_o this_o one_o particular_a that_o it_o be_v much_o easy_a for_o a_o virgin_n to_o keep_v herself_o virtuous_o chaste_a than_o either_o a_o marry_a woman_n or_o widow_n because_o both_o natural_a reason_n and_o common_a experience_n teach_v we_o this_o plain_a philosophy_n that_o it_o be_v much_o hard_a to_o abstain_v from_o a_o pleasure_n one_o have_v often_o taste_v than_o it_o be_v to_o live_v without_o a_o delight_n one_o have_v never_o enjoy_v it_o be_v such_o a_o certainty_n as_o none_o can_v deny_v that_o it_o be_v less_o difficult_a to_o keep_v ripe_a fruit_n that_o be_v fair_a and_o sound_a and_o be_v never_o touch_v than_o it_o be_v to_o keep_v any_o such_o after_o they_o have_v be_v so_o therefore_o in_o a_o word_n you_o virgin_n that_o be_v so_o much_o in_o the_o state_n of_o happy_a freedom_n as_o not_o to_o be_v yoke_v in_o such_o a_o sort_n of_o marriage_n and_o to_o the_o pinch_a

want_n be_v apt_a still_o to_o create_v jealousy_n i_o say_v if_o you_o virgin_n true_o desire_v to_o continue_v in_o your_o freedom_n and_o happy_a life_n never_o allow_v man_n to_o become_v your_o master_n by_o swear_v they_o be_v your_o humble_a servant_n and_o by_o call_v you_o their_o queen_n make_v you_o their_o subject_n for_o by_o marriage_n you_o make_v your_o servant_n your_o master_n and_o from_o be_v mistress_n of_o yourself_o you_o become_v little_o better_o than_o a_o slave_n to_o your_o husband_n therefore_o as_o a_o antidote_n against_o this_o misery_n i_o shall_v advise_v all_o young_a virgin_n to_o carry_v still_o this_o memorandum_n in_o their_o mind_n that_o though_o beauty_n be_v still_o take_v yet_o it_o be_v never_o last_v sweet_a but_o frail_a and_o that_o all_o

when_o it_o be_v but_o a_o kind_n of_o reverse_v nature_n itself_o it_o be_v as_o feasible_a to_o unite_v two_o contrary_n and_o make_v fire_n and_o water_n agree_v and_o may_v and_o january_n meet_v

their_o graft_a and_o bind_v they_o together_o they_o make_v their_o differ_a nature_n to_o become_v but_o one_o by_o marriage_n but_o upon_o serious_a consideration_n which_o do_v not_o always_o attend_v marriage_n they_o will_v soon_o find_v that_o the_o minister_n can_v only_o join_v their_o hand_n but_o it_o be_v the_o freewill_n offer_v of_o the_o heart_n that_o can_v only_o unite_v and_o
