for_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o that_o the_o pure_a state_n of_o innocency_n be_v never_o but_o in_o one_o woman_n which_o be_v the_o first_o of_o her_o sex_n and_o will_v be_v the_o last_o of_o that_o kind_a and_o as_o it_o begin_v soon_o so_o it_o last_v not_o long_o for_o it_o leave_v she_o before_o she_o leave_v the_o world_n now_o it_o may_v be_v argue_v that_o if_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o mother_n of_o all_o womenkind_n when_o she_o be_v in_o perfect_a soundness_n and_o strength_n will_v then_o yield_v to_o a_o enemy_n in_o paradise_n what_o may_v be_v now_o expect_v from_o her_o daughter_n in_o this_o wicked_a world_n and_o vicious_a age_n if_o a_o woman_n can_v stumble_v then_o in_o a_o pure_a light_n why_o shall_v any_o wonder_n that_o many_o woman_n shall_v fall_v now_o in_o this_o our_o age_n of_o sin_n and_o darkness_n and_o if_o a_o woman_n can_v not_o defend_v herself_o against_o one_o tempter_n then_o why_o may_v not_o many_o woman_n yield_v to_o divers_a tempter_n now_o that_o there_o be_v near_o as_o many_o young_a man_n that_o be_v seducer_n as_o there_o be_v young_a woman_n that_o be_v handsome_a especial_o consider_v in_o what_o a_o superlative_a degree_n vice_n vanity_n and_o idleness_n possess_v most_o of_o they_o and_o that_o our_o vain_a lady_n love_n to_o their_o gallant_n be_v now_o as_o very_o much_o in_o use_n as_o great_a beauty_n be_v in_o esteem_n and_o strict_a piety_n out_o of_o practice_n and_o if_o when_o there_o be_v but_o one_o man_n and_o one_o woman_n in_o all_o the_o world_n so_o that_o sweet_a variety_n can_v not_o be_v then_o in_o fashion_n yet_o all_o know_v that_o one_o woman_n can_v not_o then_o be_v true_a to_o that_o one_o man_n but_o do_v deceive_v he_o mere_o for_o deceiving-sake_n for_o she_o can_v not_o then_o leave_v one_o man_n for_o another_o which_o be_v now_o grow_v a_o common_a womanish_a practice_n therefore_o it_o may_v be_v argue_v that_o by_o the_o same_o rule_n and_o parity_n of_o reason_n that_o as_o the_o woman_n do_v deceive_v the_o one_o man_n when_o she_o be_v in_o paradise_n so_o may_v many_o wife_n now_o deceive_v many_o husband_n whilst_o they_o be_v here_o out_o of_o it_o for_o as_o there_o be_v plenty_n of_o eve_n daughter_n that_o still_o retain_v the_o subtlety_n of_o their_o mother_n so_o there_o will_v be_v ever_o plenty_n of_o adam_n son_n that_o will_v still_o retain_v the_o folly_n of_o their_o father_n and_o be_v beguile_v by_o their_o wife_n which_o be_v a_o weakness_n and_o distemper_n that_o be_v now_o grow_v so_o common_a and_o infectious_a as_o it_o be_v like_o the_o plague_n that_o reign_v so_o universal_o in_o egypt_n as_o it_o overspread_v the_o whole_a land_n and_o all_o our_o most_o learned_a doctor_n be_v so_o very_o weak_a and_o ignorant_a in_o the_o mean_n of_o prescribe_v a_o remedy_n for_o this_o distemper_n to_o other_o as_o they_o can_v so_o much_o as_o compose_v a_o antidote_n against_o it_o for_o themselves_o though_o they_o shall_v all_o join_v in_o a_o consultation_n and_o as_o the_o world_n be_v now_o more_o increase_v in_o man_n and_o woman_n so_o it_o be_v also_o in_o sin_n and_o vice_n woman_n have_v a_o thousand_o art_n cheat_n and_o allurement_n to_o decoy_n man_n with_o which_o be_v not_o know_v then_o though_o common_o practise_v now_o therefore_o all_o woman_n not_o only_o of_o the_o vain_a modish_a brood_n but_o of_o the_o most_o virtuous_a and_o pious_a kind_a be_v in_o duty_n oblige_v to_o make_v it_o their_o constant_a endeavour_n and_o hearty_a prayer_n to_o the_o almighty_a that_o he_o will_v please_v to_o repair_v the_o defect_n of_o their_o earthly_a nature_n by_o the_o supply_n of_o his_o heavenly_a grace_n that_o the_o strength_n of_o this_o latter_a may_v conquer_v the_o weakness_n of_o the_o former_a and_o that_o as_o they_o be_v by_o nature_n frail_a and_o incline_v to_o do_v what_o be_v ill_a so_o they_o may_v through_o god_n mercy_n love_v to_o practice_v what_o be_v good_a and_o to_o shake_v off_o the_o wanton_a and_o vicious_a inclination_n of_o the_o flesh_n to_o put_v on_o the_o heavenly_a motion_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n which_o will_v certain_o make_v a_o woman_n love_n god_n and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n which_o will_v give_v she_o a_o happy_a content_n of_o mind_n whilst_o she_o live_v and_o a_o bless_a peace_n of_o conscience_n when_o she_o come_v to_o die_v and_o i_o be_o sure_a neither_o a_o vain_a life_n nor_o a_o fop_n of_o a_o gallant_a can_v ever_o bring_v either_o it_o may_v be_v far_o ask_v where_o be_v the_o great_a difference_n between_o a_o mere_a beauty-lover_n and_o a_o mere_a gallant_n be_v friendship_n when_o it_o be_v only_o the_o woman_n beauty_n that_o create_v and_o maintain_v the_o gallant_n be_v love_n and_o his_o false_a subtle_a craft_n that_o nickname_n his_o mere_a venus-love_n by_o miscal_v it_o real_a friendship_n and_o as_o many_o virtuous_a wife_n deceive_v and_o flatter_v themselves_o in_o the_o title_n of_o their_o lover_n by_o call_v their_o gallant_n their_o friend_n so_o many_o woman_n be_v cozen_v in_o the_o nature_n and_o measure_n of_o their_o love_n they_o will_v tell_v you_o and_o with_o reason_n too_o a_o thing_n not_o very_o common_a among_o woman_n that_o it_o be_v immodest_a and_o scandalous_a for_o a_o wife_n to_o admit_v a_o man_n to_o make_v love_n and_o public_a courtship_n to_o she_o but_o they_o will_v tell_v you_o at_o the_o same_o time_n that_o a_o wife_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o take_v notice_n a_o man_n make_v love_n to_o she_o till_o he_o tell_v she_o so_o which_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v a_o very_a senseless_a fancy_n since_o that_o make_v the_o fault_n of_o a_o marry_a woman_n admit_v a_o man_n make_v love_n to_o she_o not_o to_o consist_v in_o her_o receive_n it_o from_o he_o but_o in_o his_o tell_n it_o to_o she_o not_o in_o she_o suffer_v he_o to_o do_v it_o but_o in_o his_o acquaint_v she_o that_o he_o do_v it_o sure_o that_o woman_n judgement_n must_v be_v very_o dull_a and_o her_o eyesight_n very_o dim_a that_o can_v be_v so_o gross_o mistake_v as_o to_o fancy_v a_o man_n make_v love_n to_o she_o be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o by_o see_v it_o herself_o but_o by_o her_o hear_n it_o from_o he_o when_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o the_o eye_n be_v a_o much_o quick_a and_o sure_a witness_n than_o the_o ear_n as_o may_v be_v observe_v in_o fire_v a_o cannon_n the_o flame_n of_o the_o powder_n come_v to_o the_o eye_n before_o the_o noise_n of_o the_o gun_n do_v to_o the_o ear_n and_o that_o woman_n must_v be_v strange_o dull_a that_o can_v discern_v a_o man_n amorous_a look_n and_o passionate_a action_n and_o carriage_n towards_o she_o that_o he_o be_v in_o love_n or_o at_o least_o pretend_v it_o by_o act_v as_o if_o he_o be_v without_o his_o downright_a tell_v she_o he_o be_v a_o woman_n may_v possible_o hear_v and_o yet_o not_o believe_v what_o she_o hear_v but_o it_o be_v impossible_a she_o can_v plain_o see_v and_o not_o believe_v what_o she_o plain_o see_v for_o see_v be_v believe_v and_o if_o we_o shall_v deny_v sight_n to_o be_v a_o sufficient_a credible_a witness_n we_o must_v by_o it_o deny_v the_o foundation_n of_o all_o christian_a religion_n for_o the_o apostle_n see_v our_o bless_a saviour_n miracle_n that_o he_o do_v in_o his_o life-time_n and_o both_o see_v of_o he_o and_o converse_v with_o he_o after_o he_o be_v rise_v from_o the_o dead_a be_v the_o great_a security_n we_o have_v that_o he_o be_v so_o i_o grant_v it_o be_v not_o in_o a_o wive_n power_n to_o hinder_v a_o man_n from_o like_v love_a and_o esteem_v she_o but_o sure_o it_o be_v in_o any_o wive_n power_n to_o avoid_v receive_v or_o at_o least_o countenance_v a_o man_n private_a visit_n and_o entertain_v his_o public_a courtship_n and_o real_o it_o can_v possible_o enter_v into_o my_o belief_n how_o a_o woman_n that_o be_v certain_o assure_v that_o such_o a_o man_n love_v she_o passionate_o well_o on_o the_o account_n of_o her_o beauty_n and_o who_o confirm_v it_o in_o all_o his_o word_n and_o action_n and_o by_o his_o high_a concern_v for_o she_o and_o abundant_a courtship_n to_o she_o which_o she_o receive_v with_o great_a kindness_n freedom_n and_o satisfaction_n seem_v to_o be_v abundan_o confirm_v of_o his_o great_a and_o passionate_a love_n and_o that_o she_o can_v but_o be_v assure_v that_o he_o know_v she_o know_v so_o much_o and_o yet_o that_o i_o must_v believe_v at_o the_o very_a same_o time_n that_o she_o can_v be_v so_o very_o fierce_a and_o barbarous_o ill-natured_a as_o if_o that_o man_n she_o know_v so_o high_o love_v she_o shall_v yet_o dare_v to_o tell_v she_o he_o do_v so_o she_o shall_v
