i_o have_v commit_v no_o iniquity_n i_o think_v solomon_n in_o these_o word_n have_v paint_v out_o the_o perfect_a picture_n of_o a_o harlot_n as_o she_o sit_v at_o her_o table_n she_o eat_v and_o

sweet_a water_n david_n likeve_v she_o to_o a_o fruitful_a vine_n and_o here_o she_o be_v compare_v to_o a_o crown_n we_o may_v see_v a_o virtuous_a woman_n be_v like_a unto_o many_o thing_n but_o as_o solomon_n have_v say_v pearl_n and_o precious_a stone_n be_v not_o like_a unto_o she_o she_o be_v inestimable_a these_o note_n of_o woman_n thus_o former_o speak_v of_o be_v give_v we_o by_o solomon_n whereby_o to_o distinguish_v the_o good_a from_o the_o bad_a for_o as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v there_o have_v be_v both_o good_a and_o bad_a and_o that_o from_o the_o beginning_n and_o as_o saint_n paul_n write_v to_o the_o corinthian_n say_v there_o must_v be_v heresy_n that_o they_o that_o be_v prove_v may_v be_v know_v so_o say_v i_o among_o woman_n there_o must_v be_v bad_a among_o the_o good_a that_o those_o that_o be_v good_a may_v be_v the_o more_o glorious_a as_o virtue_n than_o have_v their_o be_v in_o the_o world_n so_o vice_n do_v necessary_o accompany_v they_o and_o have_v the_o like_o increase_v or_o decrease_v the_o one_o as_o the_o other_o it_o can_v therefore_o be_v say_v that_o vice_n do_v more_o abound_v at_o this_o present_a then_o in_o former_a age_n but_o we_o must_v confess_v the_o like_a of_o virtue_n that_o be_v more_o exceed_v now_o then_o in_o time_n past_a they_o have_v be_v for_o what_o be_v there_o remaininge_v under_o the_o heaven_n that_o be_v not_o perfect_v i_o dare_v bold_o avouch_v there_o be_v no_o art_n no_o science_n no_o occupation_n nor_o handicraft_n nor_o any_o other_o profession_n what_o so_o ever_o but_o there_o be_v innovation_n and_o from_o age_n to_o age_n all_o thing_n be_v perfect_v better_v and_o draw_v to_o a_o form_n of_o great_a excellency_n than_o ever_o our_o preadecessour_n understand_v of_o and_o as_o by_o this_o continuance_n of_o time_n goodness_n be_v make_v better_o so_o ill_o be_v make_v worse_o &_o as_o good_a woman_n be_v more_o virtuous_a so_o ill_a woman_n be_v more_o vicious_a from_o hence_o i_o will_v conclude_v that_o as_o the_o world_n be_v yet_o never_o destitute_a of_o good_a woman_n but_o that_o from_o age_n to_o age_n it_o be_v still_o replenish_v and_o that_o in_o most_o abundant_a manner_n so_o i_o be_o persuade_v that_o at_o this_o present_a hour_n good_a woman_n be_v not_o only_o as_o plentiful_a as_o they_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a but_o that_o they_o be_v now_o more_o superexcellent_a then_o ever_o they_o be_v before_o not_o for_o that_o the_o good_a woman_n of_o former_a age_n do_v omit_v any_o goodness_n that_o then_o be_v know_v but_o because_o our_o predecessor_n be_v ignorant_a indeed_o of_o many_o thing_n appertain_v both_o to_o good_a and_o ill_a that_o be_v now_o frequent_a and_o conversant_a almost_o to_o every_o understanding_n we_o have_v now_o learned_a from_o solomon_n the_o true_a note_n and_o mark_n of_o a_o good_a woman_n both_o what_o she_o be_v and_o whereby_o we_o may_v both_o know_v and_o find_v she_o and_o we_o see_v it_o be_v not_o she_o that_o can_v show_v the_o most_o impudent_a face_n it_o be_v not_o she_o that_o can_v dance_v the_o most_o lofty_a cinquepace_n it_o be_v not_o she_o that_o be_v too_o lavish_a of_o her_o lip_n or_o to_o loose_v of_o her_o tongue_n it_o be_v not_o she_o that_o have_v forget_v to_o blush_v nor_o to_o be_v ashamed_a at_o any_o thing_n it_o be_v not_o she_o that_o be_v either_o too_o coy_a or_o yet_o too_o courteous_a why_o then_o modesty_n be_v it_o that_o be_v the_o true_a mark_n of_o every_o good_a woman_n &_o she_o that_o have_v once_o lose_v that_o virtue_n she_o have_v lose_v her_o evidence_n she_o have_v nothing_o to_o show_v that_o she_o be_v a_o woman_n but_o rather_o a_o monster_n in_o the_o habit_n or_o shape_n of_o a_o woman_n odible_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n and_o hateful_a and_o detestable_a before_o all_o good_a man_n if_o there_o be_v any_o that_o will_v impugn_v these_o testimony_n thus_o set_v down_o by_o
