read_v that_o the_o roman_n be_v so_o very_o cautious_a and_o wise_a as_o to_o banish_v out_o of_o their_o republic_n such_o as_o shall_v attempt_v to_o give_v any_o new_a advice_n in_o it_o and_o i_o fancy_v the_o reason_n for_o it_o be_v that_o they_o believe_v there_o be_v more_o bad_a than_o good_a man_n in_o their_o republic_n and_o therefore_o such_o more_o forward_o to_o receive_v ill_a advice_n than_o harken_v to_o good_a counsel_n and_o since_o i_o put_v no_o name_n here_o i_o will_v venture_v to_o say_v it_o be_v well_o the_o same_o rule_n be_v use_v as_o to_o dress_n and_o that_o any_o one_o that_o bring_v into_o england_n a_o new_a fashion_a dress_n according_a to_o the_o paris_n mode_n may_v be_v banish_v it_o because_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a there_o be_v more_o of_o our_o young_a man_n and_o woman_n extravagant_o give_v than_o virtuous_o incline_v and_o consequent_o more_o apt_a to_o imitate_v a_o new_a mode_n especial_o if_o a_o french_a dress_n than_o any_o sober_a decent_a apparel_n of_o their_o own_o country_n growth_n for_o indeed_o it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v of_o our_o english_a follow_v french_a fashion_n what_o a_o writer_n say_v of_o aristotle_n that_o whatsoever_o indigested_a notion_n he_o vomit_v up_o there_o be_v many_o young_a philosopher_n ready_a to_o lick_v they_o up_o i_o be_o sure_a what_o extravagant_a fashion_n the_o french_a wear_n too_o many_o people_n be_v apt_a to_o approve_v and_o follow_v real_o i_o can_v now_o but_o laugh_n as_o well_o as_o wonder_v when_o i_o think_v how_o our_o young_a english_a nobility_n and_o

must_v forsooth_o with_o a_o implicit_a faith_n reverence_v what_o the_o french_a wear_n and_o to_o be_v as_o infallible_a a_o rule_n to_o our_o english_a modes_n as_o a_o church_n decree_n be_v a_o

impossible_a to_o view_v they_o all_o but_o i_o can_v give_v you_o in_o a_o line_n this_o exact_a and_o true_a character_n of_o they_o that_o our_o mode_n be_v become_v the_o effect_n of_o our_o

the_o better_a it_o may_v please_v the_o ear_n but_o it_o do_v not_o improve_v the_o judgement_n or_o like_o silver_n dish_n on_o a_o table_n they_o may_v show_v their_o own_o costliness_n but_o

the_o book_n be_v cross_v out_o in_o a_o word_n i_o wish_v our_o french_a fashion_n may_v not_o prove_v fatal_a folly_n by_o be_v soon_o naturalize_v into_o english_a custom_n for_o then_o let_v they_o be_v never_o so_o costly_a ridiculous_a and_o vain_a like_a blackness_n among_o the_o aethiopian_n the_o commonness_n may_v remove_v their_o deformity_n but_o can_v never_o smother_v the_o

their_o body_n will_v be_v only_o fit_a to_o be_v enjoy_v by_o nasty_a worm_n this_o young_a lady_n be_v the_o true_a epilogue_n to_o the_o sad_a tragedy_n of_o your_o vain_a dress_n and_o what_o be_v

solomon_n do_v the_o pleasure_n of_o this_o world_n only_o as_o vanity_n of_o vanity_n therefore_o all_o you_o young_a lady_n that_o desire_v to_o clothe_v your_o soul_n in_o a_o heavenly_a dress_n adorn_v your_o life_n with_o constant_a piety_n and_o your_o body_n with_o modest_a and_o decent_a clothing_n such_o as_o waste_v not_o too_o much_o of_o your_o time_n or_o estate_n but_o wear_v

which_o all_o lady_n love_n to_o receive_v but_o few_o strive_v to_o merit_v with_o the_o sad_a end_n of_o it_o and_o they_o when_o they_o come_v to_o die._n worldly_n praise_n be_v a_o subject_a i_o

that_o such_o young_a woman_n be_v as_o foolish_o guilty_a in_o receive_v such_o vain_a attribute_n as_o such_o young_a man_n be_v high_o profane_a in_o offer_v they_o thus_o man_n by_o the_o

by_o charm_v they_o with_o their_o own_o charm_n and_o disguise_v themselves_o to_o themselves_o and_o by_o tell_v they_o so_o often_o what_o they_o be_v not_o make_v they_o forget_v what_o they_o real_o be_v and_o by_o these_o mean_v they_o advance_v their_o mind_n so_o far_o above_o any_o dismal_a thought_n of_o their_o own_o mortality_n that_o true_o few_o of_o our_o young_a cry_v up_o beauty_n now_o adays_o scarce_o hear_v any_o thing_n of_o death_n but_o what_o they_o be_v romantic_o tell_v their_o own_o kill_a beauty_n do_v occasion_n though_o in_o truth_n if_o we_o read_v the_o weekly_a bill_n of_o mortality_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o effect_n of_o anger_n kill_v many_o more_o than_o the_o passion_n of_o love_n man_n be_v often_o angry_a with_o many_o man_n at_o once_o but_o never_o in_o love_n with_o more_o than_o one_o woman_n at_o a_o time_n and_o that_o one_o itself_o be_v too_o many_o by_o one_o but_o my_o design_n be_v not_o to_o court_v the_o young_a lady_n with_o high_a compliment_n but_o to_o serve_v they_o with_o great_a reality_n i_o must_v assure_v they_o that_o these_o high_a praise_n the_o more_o they_o be_v trust_v the_o more_o they_o will_v betray_v and_o the_o more_o you_o lady_n confide_v in_o their_o worth_n the_o more_o you_o will_v be_v deceive_v in_o their_o value_n so_o that_o it_o follow_v by_o the_o plain_a rule_n of_o common_a reason_n that_o so_o much_o as_o you_o deduct_v of_o man_n overpraise_n so_o much_o you_o lessen_v of_o your_o own_o self_n deceive_n indeed_o these_o poison_a dart_n of_o praise_n have_v get_v such_o a_o predominant_a power_n over_o most_o young_a handsome_a woman_n and_o the_o most_o handsome_a be_v most_o subject_a to_o they_o that_o most_o of_o they_o be_v in_o danger_n of_o be_v wound_v by_o they_o because_o the_o peril_n of_o flattery_n still_o mount_v with_o the_o degree_n of_o beauty_n as_o the_o sun_n heat_n still_o increase_v proportionable_a as_o it_o rise_v flattery_n

real_o if_o young_a lady_n will_v but_o take_v a_o steady_a resolution_n to_o resist_v and_o slight_v all_o young_a man_n vain_a courtship_n and_o place_n no_o such_o high_a estimation_n on_o their_o own_o beauty_n they_o will_v easy_o do_v the_o like_a on_o man_n praise_n and_o by_o this_o mean_v young_a gallant_n will_v slacken_v in_o their_o courtship_n proportionable_a to_o the_o young_a lady_n cool_v in_o their_o reception_n of_o it_o and_o so_o make_v man_n despise_v woman_n beauty_n suitable_a to_o their_o slight_a man_n love_n and_o thus_o woman_n prudence_n will_v become_v man_n wisdom_n for_o in_o real_a truth_n it_o be_v hope_n of_o gain_n make_v love_n merchant_n as_o well_o as_o other_o none_o watch_v bee_n but_o for_o their_o honey_n and_o few_o court_n fair_a lady_n

they_o think_v the_o young_a woman_n in_o they_o have_v too_o little_a beauty_n but_o because_o they_o believe_v they_o shall_v meet_v there_o with_o too_o great_a a_o resistance_n by_o the_o care_n they_o take_v and_o strictness_n they_o use_v to_o prevent_v man_n make_v any_o address_n and_o near_a approach_n to_o they_o for_o as_o mr._n cowley_n say_v a_o well_o govern_v heart_n like_o rich_a

without_o any_o far_a end_n and_o now_o i_o be_o beginning_n to_o enter_v into_o that_o part_n of_o this_o discourse_n which_o principal_o address_v itself_o to_o the_o handsome_a young_a maiden_n lady_n and_o chief_o among_o they_o to_o such_o as_o be_v innocent_o and_o modest_o breed_v for_o such_o sort_n of_o young_a woman_n often_o entertain_v discourse_n and_o make_v acquaintance_n with_o

far_o from_o know_v how_o to_o end_v this_o discourse_n as_o i_o profess_v i_o know_v not_o yet_o where_o to_o begin_v it_o and_o indeed_o when_o i_o have_v write_v all_o i_o can_v on_o it_o i_o fancy_v i_o can_v make_v no_o other_o than_o this_o wholesale_n judgement_n of_o it_o that_o beauty_n universal_a govern_v power_n be_v of_o a_o miraculous_a nature_n like_o that_o of_o the_o ebb_a

ought_v still_o to_o choose_v the_o least_o so_o sure_a by_o the_o same_o rule_n of_o proportion_n we_o ought_v of_o trouble_n to_o choose_v the_o short_a which_o be_v grant_v we_o must_v necessary_o

plain_a honest_a deal_n man_n and_o good_a kind_a friend_n who_o be_v well_o acquaint_v with_o one_o another_o humour_n and_o therefore_o esteem_v it_o superfluous_a to_o make_v many_o word_n to_o a_o bargain_n which_o make_v they_o railly_fw-fr both_o the_o english_a and_o the_o french_a who_o they_o say_v dare_v not_o approach_v their_o mistress_n but_o with_o humble_a look_n and_o obedient_a posture_n speak_v as_o solomon_n say_v prov._n 6.13_o with_o their_o foot_n by_o make_v so_o many_o leg_n before_o they_o come_v to_o they_o and_o those_o with_o as_o much_o exactness_n as_o poet_n

speak_v to_o they_o but_o with_o large_a harangue_n of_o praise_n still_o besiege_v their_o mistress_n with_o army_n of_o compliment_n in_o admiration_n of_o their_o beauty_n and_o perfection_n and_o most_o of_o these_o fierce_a great_a lover_n i_o have_v almost_o say_v worse_o differ_v and_o excel_v one_o another_o in_o their_o manner_n of_o address_n mean_n of_o approach_n expense_n in_o present_n degree_n of_o courtship_n and_o way_n of_o treat_v and_o the_o like_a whereas_o the_o plain_a deal_n honest_a welshman_n be_v most_o of_o a_o equal_a kind_n of_o breed_v and_o birth_n be_v all_o gentleman_n of_o wales_n and_o most_o of_o they_o high_o bear_v which_o be_v a_o truth_n all_o that_o have_v travel_v through_o their_o country_n will_v easy_o believe_v since_o real_o in_o

of_o a_o short_a extent_n which_o occasion_n the_o whole_a country_n to_o lie_v under_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o elevation_n and_o as_o the_o welsh_a gentry_n have_v for_o the_o most_o part_n a_o aversion_n to_o the_o roman_a doctrine_n so_o they_o have_v no_o fancy_n for_o romance_n courtship_n few_o study_v the_o one_o and_o few_o practise_v the_o other_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o they_o be_v both_o great_a vertuoso_n and_o expert_a soldier_n in_o the_o art_n of_o expeditious_o manage_v a_o venus_n war_n and_o can_v soon_o take_v by_o storm_n the_o fort_n of_o their_o welsh_a mistress_n
