whereof_o i_o will_v use_v a_o contrary_a method_n to_o the_o former_a for_o i_o will_v begin_v now_o with_o profane_a story_n and_o end_n with_o divine_a first_o therefore_o most_o certain_a it_o be_v that_o mischief_n make_v we_o seek_v remedy_n disease_n make_v we_o find_v medicine_n &_o evil_a manner_n make_v good_a law_n and_o as_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n so_o by_o all_o likelihood_n in_o this_o we_o now_o treat_v of_o when_o company_n of_o man_n begin_v first_o to_o increase_v and_o make_v of_o family_n town_n and_o of_o town_n city_n they_o quick_o find_v not_o only_a offence_n but_o infection_n to_o grow_v out_o of_o great_a concourse_n of_o people_n if_o special_a care_n be_v not_o have_v to_o avoid_v it_o and_o because_o they_o can_v not_o remove_v house_n as_o they_o do_v tent_n from_o place_n to_o place_n they_o be_v drive_v to_o find_v the_o best_a mean_n that_o their_o wit_n do_v then_o serve_v they_o to_o cover_v rather_o than_o to_o avoid_v these_o annoyance_n either_o by_o dig_v pit_n in_o the_o earth_n or_o place_v the_o common_a house_n over_o river_n but_o as_o tully_n say_v of_o metaphor_n that_o they_o be_v like_o our_o apparel_n first_o devise_v to_o hide_v nakedness_n then_o apply_v for_o comeliness_n and_o last_o abuse_v for_o pride_n so_o i_o may_v say_v of_o these_o homely_a place_n that_o first_o they_o be_v provide_v for_o b●●e_a necessity_n for_o indeed_o till_o romulus_n time_n i_o find_v little_a mention_n of_o they_o then_o they_o come_v to_o be_v matter_n of_o some_o more_o cost_n as_o shall_v appear_v in_o example_n follow_v and_o i_o think_v i_o may_v also_o lay_v pride_n to_o their_o charge_n for_o i_o have_v see_v they_o in_o case_n of_o fugerd_a satin_n and_o velvet_n which_o be_v flat_a against_o the_o statute_n of_o apparel_n but_o for_o sweetness_n or_o cleanlines_n mistress_n i_o never_o know_v yet_o any_o of_o they_o guilty_a of_o it_o but_o that_o if_o they_o have_v but_o wait_v on_o a_o

do_v daily_o seek_v out_o new_a phrase_n &_o metaphor_n and_o tailor_n do_v oft_o invent_v new_a farthingale_n and_o breech_n so_o i_o see_v no_o reason_n but_o magistrate_n may_v as_o well_o now_o as_o heretofore_o devise_v new_a order_n for_o cleanliness_n and_o wholsomnesse_n but_o now_o to_o the_o story_n i_o allege_v before_o as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o second_o hand_n out_o of_o lactantius_n
