discourse_n consist_v guaz._n i_o think_v this_o division_n ought_v to_o have_v be_v more_o large_a for_o see_v in_o family_n there_o be_v the_o uncle_n and_o the_o nephew_n the_o father_n in_o law_n and_o the_o son_n in_o law_n the_o step_n mother_n and_o the_o step_n daughter_n the_o coosins_n and_o ally_n i_o think_v that_o division_n be_v not_o great_a enough_o annib._n as_o under_o the_o name_n of_o father_n and_o son_n i_o have_v comprehend_v mother_n and_o daughter_n under_o the_o name_n of_o brother_n sister_n and_o of_o master_n and_o man_n mistreis_n and_n maid_n so_o i_o include_v the_o uncle_n the_o father_n in_o law_n and_o the_o tutor_n in_o the_o name_n of_o father_n and_o the_o son_n in_o law_n the_o daughter_n in_o law_n and_o the_o pupil_n in_o the_o name_n of_o son_n and_o the_o coosins_n &_o ally_n in_o the_o name_n of_o brother_n so_o that_o in_o my_o opinion_n the_o division_n before_o make_v be_v not_o defectuous_a neither_o require_v any_o addition_n of_o thing_n superfluous_a and_o for_o so_o much_o as_o the_o chief_a conversation_n come_v by_o mean_a of_o marriage_n for_o that_o city_n can_v be_v without_o family_n nor_o family_n without_o husband_n and_o wife_n let_v we_o enter_v into_o the_o field_n and_o begin_v with_o the_o conversation_n of_o the_o marry_a see_v the_o chief_a honour_n be_v due_a unto_o it_o not_o only_o

our_o chief_a purpose_n be_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o conversation_n between_o the_o husband_n and_o the_o wife_n yet_o i_o think_v it_o be_v not_o amiss_o that_o you_o shall_v first_o give_v some_o

any_o *_o or_o i_o think_v it_o good_a to_o do_v in_o that_o point_n as_o one_o do_v who_o be_v earnest_o solicit_v by_o his_o mother_n to_o take_v a_o wife_n answer_v she_o that_o it_o be_v not_o
