senator_n in_o the_o senate-house_n and_o there_o to_o debate_v of_o all_o emergency_n relate_v to_o the_o state_n so_o his_o mother_n augusta_n shall_v summon_v the_o woman_n from_o all_o part_n of_o the_o city_n to_o assemble_v in_o a_o place_n by_o themselves_o there_o to_o regulate_v those_o affair_n wherein_o the_o female-sex_n be_v any_o way_n concern_v and_o this_o convention_n the_o man_n either_o out_o of_o drollery_n or_o for_o distinction_n call_v the_o senatulus_fw-la or_o little_a senate_n this_o noble_a precedent_n which_o by_o the_o fatal_a negligence_n of_o our_o ancestor_n have_v be_v intermit_v for_o so_o many_o hundred_o year_n the_o present_a situation_n of_o our_o affair_n oblige_v we_o to_o revive_v and_o let_v none_o in_o this_o company_n have_v any_o scruple_n upon_o their_o gizzard_n because_o the_o apostle_n forbid_v woman_n to_o talk_v in_o that_o assembly_n which_o he_o call_v the_o church_n for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o st._n paul_n there_o speak_v of_o assembly_n of_o man_n whereas_o we_o be_v a_o assembly_n of_o woman_n otherwise_o if_o poor_a woman_n must_v always_o be_v silent_a for_o what_o end_n and_o purpose_n do_v providence_n bestow_v upon_o we_o this_o voluble_a member_n call_v a_o tongue_n in_o which_o talon_n we_o do_v come_v short_a of_o the_o man_n and_o why_o do_v it_o give_v we_o a_o pipe_n no_o less_o intelligible_a and_o loud_a than_o they_o now_o my_o hand_n be_v in_o i_o can_v help_v say_v that_o we_o be_v all_o harmony_n and_o music_n whereas_o they_o either_o grunt_v like_a hog_n or_o bray_v like_o ass_n but_o to_o proceed_v we_o ought_v in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o manage_v all_o our_o debate_n with_o that_o gravity_n and_o circumspection_n that_o the_o man_n may_v not_o have_v the_o least_o pretence_n to_o make_v they_o the_o subject_a of_o their_o coffee-house-raillery_n to_o which_o ill-natured_a mirth_n you_o know_v they_o be_v but_o too_o much_o incline_v of_o themselves_o although_o i_o think_v i_o may_v safe_o say_v that_o if_o one_o will_v serious_o examine_v their_o council_n and_o synod_n their_o assembly_n and_o parliament_n we_o shall_v find_v more_o frivolous_a and_o impertinent_a controversy_n in_o they_o that_o a_o congregation_n of_o fish-woman_n at_o billingsgate_n will_v be_v guilty_a of_o for_o example_n we_o still_o see_v that_o monarch_n for_o so_o many_o

clergy_n and_o the_o laity_n be_v still_o at_o perpetual_a daggers-drawing_a with_o one_o another_o that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o opinion_n as_o there_o be_v nose_n in_o the_o world_n and_o in_o all_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o their_o proceed_n they_o show_v ten_o time_n more_o inconstancy_n than_o we_o woman_n ever_o discover_v this_o city_n everlasting_o quarrel_n with_o that_o city_n and_o one_o neighbour_n tread_v upon_o his_o next_o neighbour_n corn_n if_o the_o supreme_a administration_n be_v entrust_v in_o our_o hand_n with_o all_o due_a submission_n be_v it_o be_v speak_v i_o believe_v the_o world_n will_v be_v manage_v at_o a_o much_o better_a rate_n than_o now_o it_o be_v perhaps_o it_o may_v not_o become_v our_o female_a modesty_n to_o charge_v these_o noble_a peer_n and_o judge_n these_o knight_n and_o burgess_n with_o folly_n but_o i_o suppose_v i_o may_v be_v safe_o allow_v to_o recite_v what_o solomon_n have_v assert_v in_o the_o thirteen_o chapter_n of_o the_o proverb_n there_o be_v always_o strife_n among_o the_o proud_a but_o they_o that_o do_v every_o thing_n with_o counsel_n be_v govern_v by_o wisdom_n but_o not_o to_o detain_v you_o with_o too_o tedious_a a_o preamble_n to_o the_o end_n that_o all_o thing_n here_o may_v be_v carry_v on_o decent_o and_o without_o confusion_n it_o will_v be_v necessary_a in_o the_o first_o place_n to_o

grave_a assembly_n so_o if_o we_o take_v in_o too_o few_o the_o world_n will_v charge_v we_o with_o set_v up_o a_o tyrannical_a government_n for_o my_o part_n i_o move_v this_o honourable_a house_n that_o no_o virgin_n be_v capable_a of_o sit_v among_o we_o and_o my_o reason_n be_v because_o many_o thing_n may_v happen_v to_o be_v debate_v here_o which_o it_o be_v not_o proper_a for_o they_o to_o hear_v iu._n well!_o but_o how_o shall_v we_o be_v able_a to_o know_v who_o be_v virgin_n and_o who_o be_v not_o i_o suppose_v you_o will_v not_o allow_v all_o to_o be_v such_o who_o take_v the_o name_n upon_o they_o corn._n no_o but_o my_o meaning_n be_v that_o none_o but_o marry_a woman_n be_v permit_v to_o vote_n among_o we_o iu._n why_o i_o can_v name_v to_o you_o several_a marry_a woman_n who_o thank_v to_o those_o impotent_a fumbler_n their_o husband_n be_v as_o good_a virgin_n now_o as_o when_o they_o first_o come_v into_o the_o world_n there_o be_v my_o lady_n corn._n hold_v but_o in_o respect_n to_o the_o holy_a state_n of_o matrimony_n let_v we_o charitable_o suppose_v all_o marry_a wife_n to_o be_v woman_n iu._n under_o favor_n if_o we_o exclude_v none_o but_o virgin_n we_o shall_v still_o be_v overrun_v with_o multitude_n the_o maiden_n let_v i_o tell_v you_o be_v scarce_o one_o to_o a_o hundred_o corn._n well_o then_o we_o will_v exclude_v those_o likewise_o that_o have_v be_v marry_v more_o than_o thrice_o iu._n for_o what_o reason_n i_o beseech_v you_o corn._n because_o they_o ought_v to_o have_v their_o quietus_n est_fw-la as_o be_v superannuated_a and_o so_o forth_o i_o think_v too_o we_o ought_v to_o pass_v the_o same_o sentence_n upon_o such_o as_o be_v above_o seventy_o but_o i_o conceive_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v resolve_v nemine_fw-la
