whereas_o in_o all_o other_o we_o receive_v they_o from_o the_o idea_n of_o thing_n we_o meet_v with_o and_o indeed_o the_o french_a fashion_n change_v so_o often_o and_o cost_v so_o dear_a that_o

the_o unsavoury_a sound_n of_o a_o clinch_n i_o be_v just_a go_v to_o say_v that_o they_o be_v the_o very_o worst_a sort_n of_o fool_n that_o will_v sell_v english_a lordship_n to_o buy_v french_a manner_n as_o our_o condition_n be_v not_o alike_o so_o our_o dress_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v the_o same_o for_o our_o clothes_n must_v match_v our_o revenue_n as_o well_o as_o fit_v our_o body_n for_o great_a expense_n become_v a_o poor_a man_n as_o a_o large_a swisser_n breeches_n do_v a_o dwarf_n the_o cost_n of_o keep_v a_o great_a table_n a_o rich_a equipage_n and_o a_o large_a retinue_n

show_v his_o great_a folly_n as_o well_o as_o merit_v the_o misery_n of_o sad_a want_n apparel_n like_o a_o river_n be_v only_o good_a and_o useful_a whilst_o keep_v within_o the_o bank_n and_o limit_n of_o moderation_n but_o when_o it_o begin_v to_o swell_v and_o break_v out_o into_o excess_n it_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v useful_a as_o it_o still_o prove_v pernicious_a if_o not_o destructive_a we_o read_v that_o the_o roman_n be_v so_o very_o cautious_a and_o wise_a as_o to_o banish_v out_o of_o their_o republic_n such_o as_o shall_v attempt_v to_o give_v any_o new_a advice_n in_o it_o and_o i_o fancy_v the_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v that_o they_o believe_v there_o be_v more_o bad_a than_o good_a man_n in_o their_o republic_n and_o therefore_o such_o more_o forward_o to_o receive_v ill_a advice_n than_o harken_v to_o good_a counsel_n and_o since_o i_o put_v no_o name_n here_o i_o will_v venture_v to_o say_v it_o be_v well_o the_o same_o rule_n be_v use_v as_o to_o dress_n and_o that_o any_o one_o that_o bring_v into_o england_n a_o new_a fashion_a dress_n according_a to_o the_o paris_n mode_n may_v be_v banish_v it_o because_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a there_o be_v more_o of_o our_o young_a man_n and_o woman_n extravagant_o give_v than_o virtuous_o incline_v and_o consequent_o more_o apt_a to_o imitate_v a_o new_a mode_n especial_o if_o a_o french_a dress_n than_o any_o sober_a decent_a apparel_n of_o their_o own_o country_n growth_n for_o indeed_o it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v of_o our_o english_a follow_v french_a fashion_n what_o a_o writer_n say_v of_o aristotle_n that_o whatsoever_o indigested_a notion_n he_o vomit_v up_o there_o be_v many_o young_a philosopher_n ready_a to_o lick_v they_o up_o i_o be_o sure_a what_o extravagant_a fashion_n the_o french_a wear_n too_o many_o people_n be_v apt_a to_o approve_v and_o follow_v real_o i_o can_v now_o but_o laugh_n as_o well_o as_o wonder_v when_o i_o think_v how_o our_o young_a english_a nobility_n and_o gentry_n be_v tie_v and_o confine_v to_o the_o strict_a rule_n of_o the_o french_a fashion_n for_o our_o english_a judgement_n in_o that_o grand_a affair_n of_o dress_n be_v only_o admit_v to_o imitate_v and_o approve_v and_o many_o imitate_v what_o they_o do_v not_o approve_v for_o their_o fancy_n be_v not_o allow_v to_o invent_v or_o choose_v scarce_o add_v or_o diminish_v but_o we_o must_v forsooth_o with_o a_o implicit_a faith_n reverence_v what_o the_o french_a wear_n and_o to_o be_v as_o infallible_a a_o rule_n to_o our_o english_a modes_n as_o a_o church_n decree_n be_v a_o guide_n to_o those_o

end_n and_o accomplishment_n of_o all_o our_o desire_n the_o sole_a want_n of_o which_o be_v like_o that_o of_o want_v health_n which_o be_v sufficient_a to_o unpleasure_n all_o our_o other_o enjoyment_n in_o a_o word_n content_a be_v of_o such_o a_o oblige_a generous_a nature_n and_o of_o so_o universal_a value_n as_o it_o furnish_v we_o with_o every_o thing_n that_o either_o our_o real_a necessity_n want_v or_o our_o vain_a desire_n fancy_n and_o as_o content_a be_v thus_o please_a so_o discontent_a be_v little_o less_o unpleasing_a and_o therefore_o i_o can_v but_o high_o blame_v and_o censure_v such_o tyrannical_a ill_a nature_a parent_n as_o because_o they_o like_v such_o a_o man_n fortune_n therefore_o they_o will_v make_v their_o child_n marry_o such_o a_o one_o person_n though_o it_o be_v as_o odious_a to_o her_o sight_n as_o please_v to_o her_o father_n covetous_a humour_n and_o so_o to_o satisfy_v his_o will_n must_v force_v her_o inclination_n to_o marry_v he_o though_o utter_o against_o her_o own_o indeed_o it_o be_v such_o kind_a of_o force_a marriage_n that_o drive_v young_a woman_n into_o a_o double_a evil_n and_o that_o of_o the_o worst_a sort_n too_o be_v those_o of_o perjury_n and_o treachery_n for_o how_o can_v you_o make_v it_o less_o than_o perjury_n in_o a_o young_a woman_n to_o make_v a_o solemn_a vow_n in_o the_o face_n of_o the_o congregation_n to_o love_v that_o man_n her_o whole_a life_n who_o she_o know_v she_o can_v love_v a_o piece_n of_o a_o day_n nay_o not_o so_o much_o as_o that_o very_a time_n of_o her_o life_n she_o be_v vow_v to_o love_v he_o till_o death_n they_o depart_v and_o sure_o there_o be_v no_o less_o treachery_n in_o such_o a_o marriage_n vow_n that_o must_v be_v a_o kin_n to_o that_o black_a one_o of_o judas_n who_o under_o pretence_n to_o kiss_v his_o lord_n and_o master_n bring_v a_o band_n of_o soldier_n to_o seize_v he_o so_o averse_a force_v marriage_n under_o pretence_n of_o long_a continue_a friendship_n and_o kindness_n by_o shake_v hand_n but_o not_o join_v heart_n do_v often_o bring_v band_n of_o discontent_n and_o misery_n to_o each_o other_o life_n and_o liberty_n therefore_o to_o conclude_v this_o discourse_n my_o opinion_n be_v that_o parent_n may_v choose_v their_o daughter_n wealthy_a husband_n to_o live_v with_o but_o it_o be_v only_o themselves_o that_o can_v choose_v husband_n to_o be_v delight_v in_o and_o therefore_o those_o maid_n do_v well_o that_o marry_o with_o their_o parent_n like_v and_o they_o do_v ill_a that_o marry_v against_o their_o own_o the_o nine_o discourse_n against_o widow_n marry_v when_o i_o consider_v true_o and_o reflect_v serions_o how_o many_o widow_n have_v make_v themselves_o miserable_a by_o marriage_n and_o how_o few_o make_v themselves_o happy_a by_o marry_v methinks_v it_o shall_v be_v now_o as_o needless_a a_o task_n to_o dissuade_v such_o from_o marry_v as_o to_o advise_v they_o not_o to_o eat_v again_o of_o that_o dish_n they_o come_v just_a from_o surfeit_v on_o for_o sure_o she_o that_o make_v herself_o unhappy_a by_o a_o second_o marriage_n deserve_v as_o much_o her_o own_o misery_n and_o merit_n as_o little_a other_o pity_n as_o the_o man_n that_o steal_v again_o after_o have_v be_v burn_v in_o the_o hand_n do_v the_o gallow_n for_o a_o repeat_v fault_n be_v a_o twofold_a crime_n and_o

peter_n to_o get_v admittance_n into_o paradise_n the_o first_o assure_v he_o that_o her_o husband_n be_v such_o a_o devilish_a wicked_a ill_a nature_a man_n that_o he_o make_v her_o life_n a_o kind_n of_o hell_n on_o earth_n upon_o which_o account_n s._n peter_n think_v it_o reasonable_a that_o since_o she_o have_v suffer_v a_o hell_n in_o this_o world_n she_o shall_v not_o endure_v another_o in_o the_o next_o and_o so_o admit_v she_o into_o paradise_n the_o other_o woman_n observe_v this_o think_v she_o have_v a_o double_a key_n and_o ticket_n for_o she_o be_v not_o only_o torment_v with_o

to_o think_v one_o bad_a husband_n enough_o but_o she_o must_v have_v two_o he_o bid_v she_o be_v go_v for_o paradise_n be_v no_o place_n for_o fool_n indeed_o that_o widow_n must_v be_v extravagant_o

at_o all_o agree_v in_o opinion_n with_o that_o writer_n who_o say_v a_o woman_n be_v but_o a_o imperfect_a creature_n whilst_o she_o be_v without_o a_o husband_n but_o have_v he_o say_v a_o widow_n be_v not_o come_v to_o her_o full_a perfection_n of_o misery_n till_o she_o have_v one_o i_o fancy_v he_o have_v give_v a_o true_a character_n and_o take_v a_o more_o just_a measure_n of_o most_o widow_n life_n that_o marry_o since_o common_a experience_n may_v assure_v all_o wife_n and_o widow_n that_o there_o be_v general_o ten_o bad_a husband_n for_o one_o good_a one_o and_o i_o believe_v there_o be_v few_o widow_n in_o our_o age_n that_o be_v so_o perfect_a disciple_n of_o seneca_n wisdom_n as_o to_o extract_v satisfaction_n out_o of_o misery_n it_o be_v a_o apostolical_a virtue_n to_o be_v satisfy_v and_o content_v in_o whatsoever_o condition_n it_o please_v god_n to_o place_v one_o to_o but_o i_o be_o rather_o of_o the_o belief_n that_o a_o young_a beautiful_a widow_n that_o lead_v a_o strict_a virtuous_a unmarried_a life_n lead_v a_o kind_n of_o miraculous_a one_o in_o as_o much_o as_o she_o be_v bear_v a_o subject_a to_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n and_o to_o the_o

mortification_n as_o to_o be_v so_o much_o mistress_n of_o herself_o and_o of_o her_o own_o youthful_a temper_n and_o inclination_n as_o to_o resist_v the_o press_a temptation_n of_o young_a handsome_a man_n with_o a_o unmoveable_a virtuous_a constancy_n such_o young_a widow_n do_v real_o live_v in_o this_o world_n as_o the_o papist_n say_v the_o nun_n do_v in_o their_o nunnery_n that_o they_o live_v in_o the_o flesh_n as_o if_o they_o have_v no_o body_n and_o sure_o since_o it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o a_o virtue_n that_o overcome_v the_o high_a difficulty_n fierce_a inclination_n and_o most_o youthful_a passion_n must_v needs_o excel_v all_o other_o then_o it_o can_v be_v in_o the_o least_o doubt_a but_o that_o a_o young_a handsome_a widow_n that_o lead_v a_o retire_v strict_a and_o unmarried_a life_n must_v needs_o in_o that_o kind_n surpass_v all_o other_o woman_n because_o she_o practise_v more_o the_o virtue_n of_o continence_n than_o any_o of_o they_o can_v i_o mean_v as_o to_o the_o outward_a mark_n of_o our_o knowledge_n since_o a_o widow_n that_o live_v in_o a_o true_a conformity_n to_o such_o a_o strict_a pious_a life_n resemble_v most_o and_o approach_v close_a to_o the_o heavenly_a one_o which_o must_v needs_o be_v the_o best_a as_o come_v near_o to_o perfection_n for_o she_o decline_v the_o natural_a commerce_n of_o the_o body_n to_o enjoy_v the_o

the_o more_o their_o mind_n will_v be_v fortify_v against_o they_o and_o the_o more_o ready_a they_o will_v be_v to_o embrace_v true_a felicity_n we_o read_v in_o scripture_n that_o the_o woman_n
