no_o pre-eminence_n of_o nobility_n between_o man_n and_o woman_n by_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o one_o above_o the_o other_o but_o a_o equal_a inbred_a dignity_n to_o both_o but_o as_o for_o the_o exercise_n and_o operation_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o illustrious_a sex_n of_o woman_n infinite_o almost_o excel_v the_o rough_a and_o unpolished_a generation_n of_o man_n which_o then_o at_o length_n shall_v be_v make_v firm_a and_o good_a when_o the_o same_o shall_v appear_v to_o be_v so_o and_o which_o be_v our_o purpose_n to_o make_v not_o by_o adulterate_a and_o paint_a speech_n neither_o with_o logical_a snare_n by_o which_o many_o sophister_n be_v wont_a to_o entangle_v the_o unskilful_a but_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o all_o best_a author_n truth-speaking_a history_n undeniable_a reason_n as_o also_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o holy_a writ_n and_o firm_a sanction_n of_o both_o the_o law_n 1._o first_o of_o all_o therefore_o that_o i_o may_v begin_v the_o matter_n the_o woman_n be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o excellent_a than_o the_o man_n by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o excellent_a name_n she_o receive_v above_o he_o for_o adam_n signify_v earth_n but_o eve_n be_v interpret_v life_n by_o how_o much_o then_o life_n itself_o be_v more_o excellent_a than_o earth_n so_o much_o woman_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o man_n neither_o be_v there_o cause_n wherefore_o it_o may_v be_v say_v this_o argument_n be_v weak_a to_o judge_v of_o thing_n themselves_o by_o name_n for_o we_o know_v that_o the_o great_a creator_n both_o of_o thing_n and_o name_n know_v thing_n before_o he_o name_v they_o and_o his_o wisdom_n which_o can_v be_v deceive_v therefore_o frame_v name_n that_o they_o may_v express_v the_o nature_n property_n and_o use_n of_o thing_n that_o there_o be_v truth_n and_o consonancy_n and_o significativeness_n in_o ancient_a name_n the_o roman_a law_n witness_n therefore_o from_o name_n a_o argument_n both_o with_o divine_n and_o lawyer_n be_v of_o great_a moment_n as_o concerning_o nabal_n we_o read_v in_o scripture_n according_a to_o his_o name_n he_o be_v a_o fool_n and_o foolishness_n be_v with_o he_o hence_o paul_n in_o the_o epistle_n to_o the_o hebrew_n go_v about_o to_o show_v the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n use_v this_o argument_n say_v he_o be_v make_v so_o much_o better_a than_o the_o angel_n by_o how_o much_o he_o have_v by_o inheritance_n obtain_v a_o more_o excellent_a name_n than_o they_o and_o else_o where_o he_o have_v give_v he_o a_o name_n above_o every_o name_n that_o in_o the_o name_n of_o jesus_n every_o knee_n shall_v bow_v of_o thing_n in_o heaven_n of_o thing_n in_o earth_n and_o thing_n under_o the_o earth_n add_v hereunto_o no_o small_a force_n and_o power_n do_v arise_v to_o both_o law_n from_o the_o obligation_n of_o word_n from_o the_o signification_n of_o word_n from_o condition_n demonstration_n and_o disputation_n of_o that_o kind_n nay_o even_o from_o the_o head_n and_o title_n of_o both_o law_n so_o in_o law_n we_o well_o argue_v from_o the_o interpretation_n of_o a_o name_n from_o the_o force_n of_o a_o word_n also_o from_o the_o etymology_n of_o a_o name_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o etymology_n and_o order_n and_o the_o place_n of_o word_n for_o the_o law_n themselves_o do_v not_o a_o little_a look_n into_o the_o signification_n of_o name_n that_o something_o they_o may_v collect_v from_o thence_o cyprian_n against_o the_o jew_n argue_v the_o first_o man_n to_o have_v obtain_v his_o name_n from_o the_o four_o part_n or_o quarter_n of_o the_o world_n {non-roman}_o east_n west_n north_n and_o south_n and_o in_o the_o same_o book_n he_o expound_v the_o same_o name_n adam_n because_o the_o earth_n be_v make_v flesh_n although_o such_o a_o exposition_n differ_v from_o the_o tradition_n of_o moses_n because_o it_o be_v write_v by_o the_o hebrew_n not_o with_o four_o but_o with_o three_o letter_n notwithstanding_o this_o exposition_n in_o so_o holy_a a_o man_n be_v not_o altogether_o to_o be_v dispraise_v who_o have_v not_o learn_v the_o hebrew_n tongue_n which_o very_o many_o expositor_n of_o holy_a writ_n be_v ignorant_a of_o without_o much_o blame_n now_o if_o the_o same_o licence_n may_v be_v indulge_v to_o i_o that_o i_o may_v according_a to_o my_o fancy_n frame_v a_o like_a etymology_n of_o eve_n in_o praise_n of_o the_o female_a sex_n they_o must_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v this_o one_o thing_n from_o those_o mystical_a symbol_n of_o the_o cabalist_n that_o the_o name_n of_o woman_n have_v more_o affinity_n with_o that_o unspeakable_a four-lettered_a name_n of_o the_o divine_a omnipotency_n than_o the_o name_n of_o man_n which_o agree_v with_o the_o divine_a name_n neither_o in_o character_n neither_o in_o figure_n neither_o in_o number_n but_o to_o pass_v by_o these_o for_o they_o be_v read_v by_o few_o understand_v by_o few_o and_o they_o require_v a_o large_a narration_n then_o can_v suit_n with_o our_o purpose_n in_o the_o mean_a while_n we_o will_v find_v out_o the_o excellency_n of_o woman_n not_o by_o name_n only_o but_o by_o reality_n by_o office_n and_o merit_n we_o will_v search_v

concerning_o she_o it_o be_v write_v by_o the_o prophet_n god_n elect_v she_o before_o the_o heaven_n be_v create_v and_o fore-elect_v she_o that_o be_v the_o common_a opinion_n of_o philosopher_n that_o i_o may_v use_v their_o own_o word_n that_o the_o end_n be_v always_o the_o first_o in_o intention_n and_o last_o in_o execution_n but_o the_o woman_n be_v the_o best_a work_n of_o god_n
