live_v without_o they_o which_o show_v we_o be_v as_o ungrateful_a as_o inconstant_a but_o we_o have_v more_o reason_n to_o murmur_n against_o nature_n than_o against_o man_n who_o have_v make_v man_n more_o ingenious_a witty_a and_o wife_n than_o woman_n more_o strong_a industrious_a and_o laborious_a than_o woman_n for_o woman_n be_v witless_a and_o strengthless_a and_o unprofitable_a creature_n do_v they_o not_o bear_v child_n wherefore_o let_v we_o love_n man_n praise_v man_n and_o pray_v for_o man_n for_o without_o man_n we_o shall_v be_v the_o most_o miserable_a creature_n that_o nature_n have_v or_o can_v make_v iv._o noble_a lady_n gentlewoman_n and_o other_o inferior_a woman_n the_o former_a oratoress_n say_v we_o be_v witless_a and_o strengthless_a if_o so_o it_o be_v that_o we_o neglect_v the_o one_o and_o make_v no_o use_n of_o the_o other_o for_o strength_n be_v increase_v by_o exercise_n and_o wit_n be_v lose_v for_o want_n of_o conversation_n but_o to_o show_v man_n we_o be_v not_o so_o weak_a and_o foolish_a as_o the_o former_a oratoress_n do_v express_v we_o to_o be_v let_v we_o hawk_n hunt_n race_n and_o do_v the_o like_a exercise_n as_o man_n have_v and_o let_v we_o converse_v in_o camp_n court_n and_o city_n in_o school_n college_n and_o court_n of_o judicature_n in_o tavern_n brothel_n and_o game_n house_n all_o which_o will_v make_v our_o strength_n and_o wit_n know_v both_o to_o man_n and_o to_o our_o own_o self_n for_o we_o be_v as_o ignorant_a of_o ourselves_o as_o man_n be_v of_o we_o and_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v ourselves_o when_o as_o we_o never_o make_v a_o trial_n of_o ourselves_o or_o how_o shall_v man_n know_v we_o when_o as_o they_o never_o put_v we_o to_o the_o proof_n wherefore_o my_o advice_n be_v we_o shall_v imitate_v man_n so_o will_v our_o body_n and_o mind_n appear_v more_o masculine_a and_o our_o power_n will_v increase_v by_o our_o action_n v._o noble_a honourable_a and_o virtuous_a woman_n the_o former_a oration_n be_v to_o persuade_v we_o to_o change_v the_o custom_n of_o our_o sex_n which_o be_v a_o strange_a and_o unwise_a persuasion_n since_o we_o can_v change_v the_o nature_n of_o our_o sex_n for_o we_o can_v make_v ourselves_o man_n and_o to_o have_v female_a body_n and_o yet_o to_o act_n masculine_a part_n will_v be_v very_o preposterous_a and_o unnatural_a in_o truth_n we_o shall_v make_v ourselves_o like_a as_o the_o defect_n of_o nature_n as_o to_o be_v hermaphroditical_a as_o neither_o to_o be_v perfect_a woman_n nor_o perfect_a man_n but_o corrupt_a and_o imperfect_a creature_n wherefore_o let_v i_o persuade_v you_o since_o we_o can_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o our_o person_n not_o to_o alter_v the_o course_n of_o our_o life_n but_o to_o rule_v our_o life_n and_o behaviour_n as_o to_o be_v acceptable_a and_o please_a to_o god_n and_o man_n which_o be_v to_o be_v modest_a chaste_a temperate_a humble_a patient_n and_o pious_a also_o to_o be_v huswifely_a cleanly_a and_o of_o few_o word_n all_o which_o will_v gain_v we_o praise_n from_o man_n and_o blessing_n from_o heaven_n and_o love_n in_o this_o world_n and_o glory_n in_o the_o next_o vi_o worthy_a woman_n the_o former_a oratoress_n oration_n endeavour_v to_o persuade_v we_o that_o it_o will_v not_o only_o be_v a_o reproach_n and_o disgrace_n but_o unnatural_a for_o woman_n in_o their_o action_n and_o behaviour_n to_o imitate_v man_n we_o may_v as_o well_o say_v it_o will_v be_v a_o reproach_n disgrace_n and_o unnatural_a to_o imitate_v the_o god_n which_o imitation_n we_o be_v command_v both_o by_o the_o god_n and_o their_o minister_n and_o shall_v we_o neglect_v the_o imitation_n of_o man_n which_o be_v more_o easy_a and_o natural_a than_o the_o imitation_n of_o the_o god_n for_o how_o can_v terrestrial_a creature_n imitate_v celestial_a deity_n yet_o one_o terrestrial_a may_v imitate_v a_o other_o although_o in_o different_a sort_n of_o creature_n wherefore_o since_o all_o terrestrial_a imitation_n ought_v to_o ascend_v to_o the_o better_a and_o not_o to_o descend_v to_o the_o worse_o woman_n ought_v to_o imitate_v man_n as_o be_v a_o degree_n in_o nature_n more_o perfect_a than_o they_o themselves_o and_o all_o masculine_a woman_n ought_v to_o be_v as_o much_o praise_v as_o effeminate_a man_n to_o be_v dispraif_v for_o the_o one_o advances_n to_o perfection_n the_o other_o sink_v to_o imperfection_n that_o so_o by_o our_o industry_n we_o may_v come_v at_o last_o to_o equal_a man_n both_o in_o perfection_n and_o power_n vii_o noble_a lady_n honourable_a gentlewoman_n and_o worthy_a female_a commoner_n the_o former_a oratoress_n oration_n or_o speech_n be_v to_o persuade_v we_o out_o of_o ourselves_o as_o to_o be_v that_o which_o nature_n never_o intend_v we_o to_o be_v to_o wit_n masculine_a but_o why_o shall_v we_o desire_v to_o be_v masculine_a since_o our_o own_o sex_n and_o condition_n be_v far_o the_o better_a for_o if_o man_n have_v more_o courage_n they_o have_v more_o danger_n and_o if_o man_n have_v more_o strength_n they_o have_v more_o labour_n than_o woman_n have_v if_o man_n be_v more_o eloquent_a in_o speech_n woman_n be_v more_o harmonious_a in_o voice_n if_o man_n be_v more_o active_a woman_n be_v more_o graceful_a if_o man_n have_v more_o liberty_n woman_n have_v more_o safety_n for_o wenever_o fight_v duel_n nor_o battle_n nor_o do_v we_o go_v long_a travel_n or_o dangerous_a voyage_n we_o labour_v not_o in_o building_n nor_o digging_z in_o mine_n quarry_n or_o pit_n for_o metal_n stone_n or_o coal_n neither_o do_v we_o waste_v or_o shorten_v our_o life_n with_o university_n or_o scholastical_a study_n question_n and_o dispute_n we_o burn_v not_o our_o face_n with_o smith_n forge_n or_o chemist_n furnace_n and_o hundred_o of_o other_o action_n which_o man_n be_v employ_v in_o for_o they_o will_v not_o only_o fade_v the_o fresh_a beauty_n spoil_v the_o lovely_a feature_n and_o decay_n the_o youth_n of_o woman_n cause_v they_o to_o appear_v old_a whilst_o they_o be_v young_a but_o will_v break_v their_o small_a limb_n and_o destroy_v their_o tender_a life_n wherefore_o woman_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o complain_v against_o nature_n or_o the_o god_n of_o nature_n for_o though_o the_o gift_n be_v not_o the_o same_o they_o have_v give_v to_o man_n yet_o those_o gift_n they_o have_v give_v to_o woman_n be_v much_o better_o for_o we_o woman_n be_v much_o more_o favour_v by_o nature_n than_o man_n in_o give_v we_o such_o beauty_n feature_n shape_v graceful_a derncanour_n and_o such_o

of_o our_o happy_a condition_n of_o life_n we_o live_v in_o as_o on_o our_o own_o land_n among_o our_o own_o tenant_n like_v as_o petty_a king_n in_o our_o little_a monarchy_n in_o peace_n with_o
