equal_a age_n and_o that_o her_o time_n may_v go_v forward_o and_o my_o backward_a how_o many_o time_n have_v i_o strive_v to_o withdraw_v myself_o from_o this_o vain_a affection_n but_o not_o have_v

shepherdess_n never_o use_v to_o hang_v upon_o the_o neck_n of_o those_o shepherd_n who_o they_o love_v nor_o use_v any_o such_o carrass_n as_o testimony_n of_o their_o love_n unto_o they_o it_o be_v

like_o a_o father_n then_o a_o lover_n you_o may_v hereby_o conceive_v how_o much_o behold_v she_o ought_v to_o be_v unto_o i_o for_o not_o love_v she_o after_o a_o vicious_a manner_n nor_o work_v upon_o the_o simplicity_n of_o her_o age_n and_o disposition_n for_o you_o may_v perceive_v by_o her_o question_n and_o answer_n that_o her_o mind_n may_v have_v be_v temper_v into_o what_o mould_n
