they_o mother_n of_o such_o child_n neither_o do_v they_o at_o any_o time_n weep_v but_o when_o they_o see_v man_n do_v many_o thing_n unbeseeming_a not_o only_a christian_n but_o man_n then_o through_o great_a displeasure_n they_o weep_v because_o man_n do_v neither_o blush_n for_o shame_n nor_o wax_v pale_a for_o fear_n of_o eternal_a disgrace_n nor_o weep_v for_o forrow_n that_o like_o

of_o the_o church_n great_a love_n of_o god_n great_a zeal_n of_o his_o glory_n than_o man_n and_o therefore_o that_o woman_n weep_v more_o than_o man_n be_v they_o first_o in_o weep_v they_o shall_v
