as_o wise_a and_o to_o understand_v what_o the_o will_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v moreover_o many_o of_o these_o dance_n be_v so_o much_o artificial_a at_o the_o least_o within_o our_o cogitation_n and_o within_o the_o cogitation_n of_o some_o other_o person_n which_o have_v also_o observe_v in_o the_o holy_a history_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o manner_n of_o dance_v practise_v among_o the_o israelitish_n woman_n that_o live_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n many_o of_o these_o dance_n i_o say_v be_v so_o much_o artificial_a that_o the_o human_a mind_n can_v not_o be_v intend_v nor_o attentive_a to_o the_o art_n of_o dance_a and_o to_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n together_o whether_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o man_n to_o dance_v with_o woman_n many_o man_n do_v argue_v that_o it_o be_v lawful_a for_o they_o to_o dance_v with_o woman_n because_o say_v they_o the_o prophet_n david_n exhort_v we_o in_o one_o of_o his_o psalm_n to_o praise_n god_n in_o dance_n but_o that_o argument_n can_v be_v strong_a enough_o for_o beside_o that_o the_o hebrew_n word_n do_v carry_v diverse_a signification_n the_o late_a and_o ripe_a translation_n both_o in_o english_a and_o in_o other_o language_n do_v not_o name_v any_o dance_n therefore_o we_o will_v rather_o counsel_v they_o to_o take_v a_o other_o way_n and_o send_v they_o to_o that_o text_n of_o the_o prophet_n jeremie_n in_o the_o 31._o chapter_n the_o virgin_n shall_v rejoice_v in_o the_o dance_n and_o the_o young_a man_n and_o the_o old_a man_n together_o for_o i_o will_v turn_v their_o mourning_n into_o joy_n &_o will_v comfort_v they_o and_o give_v they_o joy_n for_o their_o sorrow_n here_o many_o other_o do_v endeavour_n themselves_o to_o make_v a_o opposition_n in_o this_o manner_n as_o the_o flow_a of_o milk_n and_o honey_n say_v they_o be_v take_v in_o the_o scripture_n for_o the_o abundance_n of_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o the_o humane_a life_n so_o the_o dance_n be_v put_v in_o that_o text_n for_o the_o greatness_n of_o joy_n but_o let_v they_o mark_v or_o remember_v one_o thing_n the_o word_n must_v be_v understand_v in_o a_o other_o sense_n when_o they_o be_v repugnant_a unto_o reason_n but_o the_o word_n dance_n be_v not_o repugnant_a unto_o reason_n in_o that_o text_n of_o jeremie_n above_o recite_v to_o what_o estate_n the_o dance_n be_v think_v to_o be_v more_o become_v if_o we_o will_v but_o mark_v mean_o well_o a_o little_a part_n of_o the_o 15._o chap._n of_o exodus_fw-la already_o mention_v it_o shall_v be_v sufficient_o manifest_a unto_o we_o that_o the_o israelitish_n woman_n dance_v with_o miriam_n the_o prophetess_n for_o that_o they_o be_v move_v and_o bring_v to_o it_o by_o the_o say_v miriam_n which_o begin_v to_o dance_n and_o be_v the_o leader_n of_o they_o whereby_o we_o shall_v remain_v full_o persuade_v that_o those_o woman_n do_v not_o embolden_v themselves_o towards_o that_o exercise_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o she_o which_o be_v above_o they_o in_o dignity_n until_o they_o be_v bid_v and_o invite_v to_o it_o by_o her_o example_n and_o this_o do_v cause_n the_o opinion_n of_o many_o learned_a man_n to_o be_v that_o such_o a_o exercise_n be_v rather_o appertain_v to_o the_o nobility_n and_o gentility_n then_o to_o the_o other_o estate_n and_o that_o the_o inferior_n ought_v not_o to_o use_v it_o among_o the_o superior_n nor_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o they_o except_o the_o superior_n do_v bid_v or_o invite_v the_o inferior_n to_o the_o same_o whether_o it_o be_v by_o speech_n or_o otherwise_o conclude_v thereupon_o that_o same_o art_n to_o be_v much_o abuse_v in_o our_o age_n because_o say_v they_o it_o be_v practise_v by_o a_o great_a many_o without_o any_o diseretion_n at_o all_o let_v we_o give_v some_o insight_n to_o a_o few_o word_n of_o the_o 11._o chap._n of_o judge_n which_o we_o have_v allege_v in_o another_o line_n of_o this_o treatise_n no_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o any_o person_n in_o those_o dance_n but_o of_o the_o daughter_n of_o jephtah_n which_o be_v captain_n over_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n do_v not_o this_o argue_v with_o great_a probability_n that_o the_o say_a daughter_n of_o jephtah_n be_v the_o mover_n and_o guider_n of_o that_o dance_a as_o she_o be_v the_o high_a in_o estate_n and_o condition_n among_o her_o fellow_n and_o do_v it_o not_o by_o consequence_n come_v to_o agree_v with_o that_o purpose_n which_o now_o we_o have_v hold_v in_o a_o brief_a deduction_n a_o very_a little_a before_o about_o the_o dance_n of_o miriam_n the_o prophetess_n with_o the_o other_o woman_n of_o israel_n none_o extraordinary_a sharpness_n or_o vivacity_n of_o wit_n be_v necessary_a to_o make_v it_o enter_v into_o the_o comprehension_n of_o that_o point_n we_o have_v already_o touch_v the_o fiftenth_n chapter_n of_o the_o book_n of_o judeth_n which_o we_o must_v touch_v again_o at_o this_o present_a time_n upon_o the_o discourse_n which_o we_o have_v in_o hand_n for_o these_o word_n be_v write_v in_o the_o end_n of_o it_o concern_v the_o say_v most_o honourable_a judeth_n they_o also_o crown_v she_o with_o olive_n and_o she_o that_o be_v with_o she_o and_o she_o go_v before_o the_o people_n in_o the_o dance_n lead_v all_o the_o woman_n which_o word_n do_v great_o augment_v without_o any_o part_n of_o doubt_n the_o strength_n and_o vigour_n of_o our_o argumentation_n to_o wit_n that_o the_o dance_n do_v not_o seem_v to_o become_v so_o well_o the_o low_a sort_n as_o the_o high_a and_o that_o we_o may_v think_v according_a unto_o reason_n to_o be_v somewhat_o inconvenient_a for_o the_o low_a to_o have_v the_o exercitation_n of_o dance_v near_o the_o high_a unless_o some_o leave_n he_o give_v of_o these_o unto_o those_o one_o way_n or_o other_o and_o hereunto_o this_o very_a short_a addition_n as_o we_o do_v persuade_v ourselves_o can_v be_v but_o fit_o apply_v that_o by_o the_o history_n of_o dance_n contain_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n it_o seem_v unto_o the_o consideration_n of_o many_o godly_a person_n that_o the_o practice_n of_o dance_a be_v more_o become_v unto_o woman_n then_o unto_o man_n why_o dance_n be_v forbid_v in_o some_o place_n among_o the_o christian_n the_o prohibition_n of_o dance_n in_o geneva_n &_o in_o some_o other_o territory_n which_o do_v keep_v all_o the_o order_n of_o the_o same_o in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o ecclesiastical_a discipline_n be_v make_v because_o of_o the_o great_a abuse_n of_o they_o to_o cut_v off_o the_o pernicious_a evil_n which_o oftentimes_o happen_v thereby_o be_v not_o this_o a_o sufficient_a argument_n to_o prove_v such_o a_o action_n to_o be_v good_a behold_v our_o messiah_n in_o the_o 18._o chap._n of_o the_o gospel_n according_a to_o s._n matthew_n do_v command_v every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o cast_v away_o his_o hand_n or_o his_o foot_n or_o his_o eye_n if_o they_o cause_v he_o to_o offend_v say_v that_o it_o be_v better_a to_o enter_v into_o life_n with_o one_o hand_n or_o with_o one_o foot_n or_o with_o one_o eye_n then_o have_v two_o hand_n or_o two_o foot_n or_o two_o eye_n to_o be_v cast_v into_o everlasting_a fire_n therefore_o if_o in_o that_o case_n we_o must_v needs_o be_v deprive_v of_o thing_n which_o be_v so_o much_o profitable_a &_o necessary_a why_o shall_v those_o nation_n have_v refuse_v to_o suppress_v a_o thing_n which_o among_o they_o be_v become_v altogether_o vain_a and_o profane_a we_o read_v in_o the_o 21._o chap._n of_o number_n that_o moses_n by_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n do_v make_v a_o serpent_n of_o brass_n and_o erect_v it_o for_o a_o sign_n unto_o the_o israelite_n and_o we_o read_v in_o the_o 18._o chap._n of_o the_o second_o book_n of_o king_n that_o the_o religious_a king_n hezekiah_n do_v beat_v down_o and_o break_v in_o piece_n the_o say_v brazen_a serpent_n because_o he_o see_v that_o the_o people_n of_o israel_n continue_v yet_o to_o adore_v the_o same_o in_o burn_a incense_n unto_o it_o if_o then_o it_o have_v be_v lawful_a to_o abolish_v the_o sacrament_n of_o god_n in_o consideration_n that_o it_o be_v abuse_v why_o shall_v it_o not_o be_v lawful_a to_o put_v away_o the_o invention_n of_o man_n for_o the_o like_a cause_n i_o think_v it_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v we_o leave_v and_o forsake_v the_o usage_n of_o such_o dance_n as_o be_v only_o effect_v for_o the_o pleasure_n of_o our_o eye_n to_o observe_v and_o consider_v with_o studious_a diligence_n one_o thing_n in_o the_o 14._o chap._n of_o the_o apostle_n s_o matthew_n how_o that_o through_o the_o mean_n &_o occasion_n of_o
