at_o since_o our_o way_n of_o fight_v be_v now_o alter_v and_o this_o destructive_a engine_n the_o musket_n be_v the_o proper_a arm_n for_o the_o soldier_n i_o can_v wish_v the_o diversion_n also_o of_o the_o english_a will_v change_v too_o that_o our_o pleasure_n and_o profit_n may_v correspond_v it_o be_v a_o great_a hindrance_n to_o this_o nation_n especial_o where_o standing-army_n be_v a_o

their_o arm_n and_o new-raised_a man_n be_v call_v raw_a soldier_n to_o help_v this_o at_o least_o in_o some_o measure_n i_o will_v propose_v that_o the_o public_a exercise_n of_o our_o youth_n

every_o country-gentleman_n according_a to_o his_o degree_n will_v contribute_v to_o set_v up_o a_o prize_n to_o be_v shoot_v for_o by_o the_o town_n he_o live_v in_o or_o the_o neighbourhood_n about_o once_o a_o year_n or_o twice_o a_o year_n or_o often_o as_o they_o think_v fit_a which_o prize_v not_o single_a only_o to_o he_o who_o shoot_v near_a but_o according_a to_o the_o custom_n of_o

under_o this_o head_n of_o academy_n i_o may_v bring_v in_o a_o project_n for_o a_o academy_n for_o woman_n i_o have_v often_o think_v of_o it_o as_o one_o of_o the_o most_o barbarous_a custom_n in_o the_o world_n consider_v we_o as_o a_o civilise_v and_o a_o christian_a country_n that_o we_o deny_v the_o advantage_n of_o learning_n to_o woman_n we_o reproach_n the_o sex_n every_o day_n with_o folly_n and_o impertinence_n while_o i_o be_o confident_a have_v they_o the_o advantage_n of_o education_n equal_a to_o we_o they_o will_v be_v guilty_a of_o less_o than_o ourselves_o one_o will_v wonder_v indeed_o how_o it_o shall_v happen_v that_o woman_n be_v conversible_a at_o all_o since_o they_o be_v only_o behold_v to_o natural_a part_n for_o all_o their_o knowledge_n their_o youth_n be_v spend_v to_o teach_v they_o to_o stitch_n and_o sow_n or_o make_v bauble_n they_o be_v teach_v to_o read_v indeed_o and_o perhaps_o to_o write_v their_o name_n or_o so_o and_o that_o be_v the_o height_n of_o a_o woman_n education_n and_o i_o will_v but_o ask_v any_o who_o slight_a the_o sex_n for_o their_o understanding_n what_o be_v a_o man_n a_o gentleman_n i_o mean_v good_a for_o that_o be_v teach_v no_o more_o i_o need_v not_o give_v instance_n or_o examine_v the_o character_n of_o a_o gentleman_n with_o a_o good_a estate_n and_o of_o a_o good_a family_n and_o with_o tolerable_a part_n and_o examine_v what_o figure_n he_o make_v for_o want_v of_o education_n the_o soul_n be_v place_v in_o the_o body_n like_o a_o rough_a diamond_n and_o must_v be_v polish_a or_o the_o lustre_n of_o it_o will_v never_o appear_v and_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o as_o the_o rational_a soul_n distinguish_v we_o from_o brute_n so_o education_n carry_v on_o the_o distinction_n and_o make_v some_o less_o brutish_a than_o other_o this_o be_v too_o evident_a to_o need_v any_o demonstration_n but_o why_o then_o shall_v woman_n be_v deny_v the_o benefit_n of_o instruction_n if_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n have_v be_v useless_a addition_n to_o the_o sex_n god_n almighty_n will_v never_o have_v give_v they_o capacity_n for_o he_o make_v nothing_o needless_a beside_o i_o will_v ask_v such_o what_o they_o can_v see_v in_o ignorance_n that_o they_o shall_v think_v it_o a_o necessary_a ornament_n to_o a_o woman_n or_o how_o much_o worse_o be_v a_o wise_a woman_n than_o a_o fool_n or_o what_o have_v the_o woman_n do_v to_o forfeit_v the_o privilege_n of_o be_v teach_v do_v she_o plague_v we_o with_o her_o pride_n and_o impertinence_n why_o do_v we_o not_o let_v she_o learn_v that_o she_o may_v have_v have_v more_o wit_n shall_v we_o upbraid_v woman_n with_o folly_n when_o it_o be_v only_o the_o error_n of_o this_o inhuman_a custom_n that_o hinder_v they_o be_v make_v wise_a the_o capacity_n of_o woman_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v great_a and_o their_o sense_n quick_a than_o those_o of_o the_o man_n and_o what_o they_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o be_v breed_v to_o be_v plain_a from_o some_o instance_n of_o female-wit_n which_o this_o age_n be_v not_o without_o which_o upbraid_v we_o with_o injustice_n and_o look_v as_o if_o we_o deny_v woman_n the_o advantage_n of_o education_n for_o fear_v they_o shall_v vie_v with_o the_o man_n in_o their_o improvement_n to_o remove_v this_o objection_n and_o that_o woman_n may_v have_v at_o least_o a_o needful_a opportunity_n of_o education_n in_o all_o sort_n of_o useful_a learning_n i_o propose_v the_o draught_n of_o a_o academy_n for_o that_o purpose_n i_o know_v it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o make_v public_a appearance_n of_o the_o sex_n they_o be_v not_o either_o to_o be_v confine_v or_o expose_v the_o first_o will_v disagree_v with_o their_o inclination_n and_o the_o last_o with_o their_o reputation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v somewhat_o difficult_a and_o i_o doubt_v a_o method_n propose_v by_o a_o ingenious_a lady_n in_o a_o little_a book_n call_v advice_n to_o the_o lady_n will_v be_v find_v impracticable_a for_o save_v my_o respect_n to_o the_o sex_n the_o levity_n which_o perhaps_o be_v a_o little_a peculiar_a to_o they_o at_o least_o in_o their_o youth_n will_v not_o bear_v the_o restraint_n and_o i_o be_o satisfy_v nothing_o but_o the_o height_n of_o bigotry_n can_v keep_v up_o a_o nunnery_n woman_n be_v extravagant_o desirous_a of_o go_v to_o heaven_n and_o will_v punish_v their_o pretty_a body_n to_o get_v thither_o but_o nothing_o else_o will_v do_v it_o and_o even_o in_o that_o case_n sometime_o it_o fall_v out_o that_o nature_n will_v prevail_v when_o i_o talk_v therefore_o of_o a_o academy_n for_o woman_n i_o mean_v both_o the_o model_n the_o teach_v and_o the_o government_n different_a from_o what_o be_v propose_v by_o that_o ingenious_a lady_n for_o who_o proposal_n i_o have_v a_o very_a great_a esteem_n and_o also_o a_o great_a opinion_n of_o her_o wit_n different_a too_o from_o all_o sort_n of_o religious_a confinement_n and_o above_o all_o from_o vow_n of_o celibacy_n wherefore_o the_o academy_n i_o propose_v shall_v differ_v but_o little_a from_o public_a school_n wherein_o such_o lady_n as_o be_v willing_a to_o study_v shall_v have_v all_o the_o advantage_n of_o learn_v suitable_a to_o their_o genius_n but_o since_o some_o severity_n of_o discipline_n more_o than_o ordinary_a will_v be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o preserve_v the_o reputation_n of_o the_o house_n that_o person_n of_o quality_n and_o fortune_n may_v not_o be_v a_o afraid_a to_o venture_v their_o child_n thither_o i_o shall_v venture_v to_o make_v a_o small_a scheme_n by_o way_n of_o essay_n the_o house_n i_o will_v have_v build_v in_o a_o form_n by_o itself_o as_o well_o as_o in_o a_o

place_n by_o itself_o the_o building_n shall_v be_v of_o three_o plain_a front_n without_o any_o jetting_n or_o bearing-work_a that_o the_o eye_n may_v at_o a_o glance_n see_v from_o one_o coin_n to_o the_o other_o the_o garden_n wall_v in_o the_o same_o triangular_a figure_n with_o a_o large_a moat_n and_o but_o one_o entrance_n when_o thus_o every_o part_n of_o the_o situation_n be_v contrive_v as_o well_o as_o may_v be_v for_o discovery_n and_o to_o render_v intriegue_v dangerous_a i_o will_v have_v no_o guard_n no_o eye_n no_o spy_n set_v over_o the_o lady_n but_o shall_v expect_v they_o to_o be_v try_v by_o the_o principle_n of_o honour_n and_o strict_a virtue_n and_o if_o i_o be_o ask_v why_o i_o must_v ask_v pardon_n of_o my_o own_o sex_n for_o give_v this_o reason_n for_o it_o i_o be_o so_o much_o in_o charity_n with_o woman_n and_o so_o well_o acquaint_v with_o man_n that_o it_o be_v my_o opinion_n there_o need_v no_o other_o care_n to_o prevent_v intriegue_v than_o to_o keep_v the_o man_n effectual_o away_o for_o though_o inclination_n which_o we_o pretty_o call_v love_n do_v sometime_o move_v a_o little_a too_o visible_o in_o the_o sex_n and_o frailty_n often_o follow_v yet_o i_o think_v very_o custom_n which_o we_o miscall_v modesty_n have_v so_o far_o the_o ascendant_n over_o the_o sex_n that_o solicitation_n always_o go_v before_o it_o custom_n with_o

restrain_v only_o by_o custom_n it_o be_v that_o virtue_n live_v and_o love_n require_v to_o be_v ask_v before_o it_o give_v for_o that_o which_o we_o call_v modesty_n be_v pride_n they_o scorn_v to_o

over_o themselves_o the_o weakness_n of_o the_o sex_n discover_v if_o then_o desire_n be_v strong_a and_o nature_n free_a keep_v from_o her_o man_n and_o opportunity_n else_o it_o will_v be_v vain_a to_o curb_v she_o by_o restraint_n but_o keep_v the_o question_n off_o you_o keep_v the_o saint_n in_o short_a let_v a_o woman_n have_v never_o such_o a_o coming-principle_n she_o will_v let_v you_o ask_v before_o she_o comply_v at_o least_o if_o she_o be_v a_o woman_n of_o any_o honour_n upon_o this_o ground_n i_o be_o persuade_v such_o measure_n may_v be_v take_v that_o the_o lady_n may_v have_v all_o the_o freedom_n in_o the_o world_n within_o their_o own_o wall_n and_o yet_o no_o intriegue_n no_o indecency_n nor_o scandalous_a affair_n happen_v and_o in_o order_n to_o this_o the_o

3._o the_o charge_n of_o the_o house_n be_v to_o be_v pay_v by_o the_o lady_n every_o one_o that_o enter_v shall_v have_v only_o this_o encumbrance_n that_o she_o shall_v pay_v for_o the_o whole_a

and_o all_o the_o necessary_a air_n of_o conversation_n which_o our_o common_a education_n be_v so_o defective_a in_o that_o i_o need_v not_o expose_v it_o they_o shall_v be_v bring_v to_o read_v

to_o such_o who_o genius_n will_v lead_v they_o to_o it_o i_o will_v deny_v no_o sort_n of_o learning_n but_o the_o chief_a thing_n in_o general_n be_v to_o cultivate_v the_o understanding_n of_o the_o sex_n that_o they_o may_v be_v capable_a of_o all_o sort_n of_o conversation_n that_o their_o part_n and_o judgement_n be_v improve_v they_o may_v be_v as_o profitable_a in_o their_o
