A86361	A New-Years-gift for women. Being a true looking-glass which they seldome have in their own closets, where (for the most part) are none but flattering ones: but hereby, and herein, they may truly, plainly, and directly, see their duties, both towards God, and their own husbands. With an epistle dedicatory, directed to the feminine gender (never done before) nor the like extant in no printed book. However, many have dedicated to one or two vertuous ladies, upon some good reasons moving the author thereunto. But never any (as this is) to the whole sex of women, of what rank or quality soever they be.	Hill, William, 1619-1667.	1660 (1660)	Wing H2035; Thomason E2114_1; ESTC R212662	17,927	71

steal_v into_o heaven_n by_o work_n of_o mercy_n and_o deed_n of_o charity_n when_o they_o feed_v the_o hungary_n and_o clothe_v the_o naked_a and_o suffer_v none_o to_o perish_v for_o want_v of_o clothing_n nor_o no_o poor_a to_o be_v without_o cover_v but_o rather_o that_o their_o loin_n may_v bless_v they_o be_v warn_v with_o the_o fleece_n of_o their_o sheep_n and_o yet_o all_o this_o to_o be_v so_o perform_v that_o the_o right_a hand_n shall_v not_o know_v what_o the_o left_a hand_n do_v second_o there_o be_v some_o who_o be_v drive_v and_o beat_v as_o it_o be_v into_o heaven_n as_o by_o trouble_n affliction_n persecution_n poverty_n sickness_n or_o the_o like_a for_o than_o you_o know_v what_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o psalmist_n in_o their_o affliction_n they_o will_v seek_v i_o diligent_o three_o there_o be_v other_o who_o take_v or_o seize_v the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n by_o force_n and_o violence_n as_o it_o be_v speak_v in_o the_o scripture_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n suffer_v violence_n as_o when_o it_o be_v get_v by_o earnest_a importunity_n as_o the_o poor_a importunate_a widow_n who_o overcome_v the_o unrighteous_a judge_n and_o even_o force_v he_o to_o grant_v her_o request_n or_o as_o jacob_n contend_v all_o night_n with_o christ_n himself_o tell_v he_o that_o unless_o he_o bless_v he_o he_o will_v not_o let_v he_o go_v so_o if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o make_v you_o so_o happy_a as_o to_o find_v out_o either_o of_o these_o three_o way_n you_o will_v then_o attain_v the_o end_n of_o your_o hope_n which_o be_v the_o salvation_n of_o your_o soul_n which_o be_v of_o far_o great_a price_n and_o value_n then_o all_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n nay_o than_o ten_o thousand_o world_n for_o than_o you_o shall_v come_v to_o live_v and_o reign_v with_o the_o eternal_a god_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o with_o his_o glorious_a choir_n of_o heavenly_a angel_n and_o of_o the_o spirit_n of_o just_a and_o holy_a man_n who_o have_v depart_v this_o life_n in_o the_o fear_n of_o his_o bless_a name_n and_o there_o shall_v you_o enjoy_v fullness_n of_o joy_n and_o that_o for_o evermore_o now_o i_o come_v to_o my_o last_o and_o worst_a sort_n of_o woman_n namely_o lewd_a and_o vicious_a woman_n who_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o in_o the_o beginning_n be_v neither_o good_a for_o this_o world_n nor_o for_o the_o world_n to_o come_v and_o therefore_o i_o take_v the_o least_o care_n of_o they_o and_o will_v bestow_v the_o least_o pain_n upon_o they_o and_o the_o book_n of_o god_n make_v mention_n of_o too_o many_o of_o they_o for_o there_o we_o read_v of_o the_o monstrous_a impiety_n and_o horrid_a lust_n of_o potiphar_n wife_n so_o often_o assault_v the_o chastity_n of_o virtuous_a joseph_n and_o that_o with_o impudence_n after_o denial_n you_o read_v also_o of_o the_o intolerable_a pride_n of_o queen_n vasthi_n in_o not_o obey_v the_o command_n of_o the_o king_n her_o husband_n and_o what_o become_v of_o she_o and_o of_o paint_a jezabel_n who_o blood_n the_o very_a dog_n lick_v up_o also_o of_o job_n wife_n who_o give_v her_o husband_n no_o better_o council_n then_o to_o curse_n god_n and_o die_v and_o afterward_o in_o his_o great_a misery_n how_o her_o breath_n be_v strange_a unto_o he_o though_o he_o entreat_v she_o for_o the_o fruit_n of_o her_o body_n and_o here_o i_o may_v not_o omit_v what_o experience_n almost_o every_o assize_n bring_v forth_o both_o in_o our_o day_n and_o the_o day_n of_o our_o forefather_n that_o seldom_o any_o notable_a robbery_n or_o cruel_a murder_n have_v be_v commit_v but_o a_o woman_n or_o more_o have_v a_o hand_n in_o it_o and_o be_v the_o chief_a contriver_n and_o actor_n thereof_o destroy_v the_o mother_n with_o her_o suck_a babe_n and_o that_o without_o any_o pity_n compassion_n or_o remorse_n and_o seldom_o any_o assize_n pass_v but_o some_o of_o they_o be_v indict_v convict_v and_o just_o condemn_v and_o execute_v for_o kill_v and_o most_o unnatural_o destroy_v the_o fruit_n of_o their_o own_o body_n but_o i_o call_v to_o remembrance_n a_o book_n heretofore_o write_v by_o one_o green_a to_o teach_v man_n to_o beware_v of_o cutpurse_n and_o discover_v all_o their_o cunning_a secret_n and_o underhand_a practice_n where_o by_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o wise_a man_n he_o do_v much_o more_o harm_n then_o good_a and_o teach_v divers_a to_o become_v cutpurse_n who_o before_o have_v no_o thought_n to_o bend_v their_o study_n that_o way_n therefore_o i_o will_v forbear_v divers_a particular_a most_o wicked_a and_o barbarious_a action_n which_o i_o can_v mention_v do_v and_o commit_v by_o woman_n which_o notwithstanding_o condemn_v not_o the_o generality_n of_o that_o sex_n god_n forbid_v but_o show_v that_o passion_n and_o affection_n in_o they_o either_o in_o love_n or_o hatred_n be_v much_o more_o extreme_a and_o violent_a then_o in_o man_n according_a to_o the_o verse_n of_o the_o poet._n aut_fw-la
