of_o morality_n and_o all_o principle_n of_o virtue_n and_o honour_n under_o who_o discipline_n she_o be_v keep_v in_o as_o strict_a a_o regularity_n as_o if_o she_o have_v be_v a_o carmelite_n or_o a_o carthusian_n as_o be_v well_o know_v to_o many_o who_o hear_v i_o insomuch_o that_o from_o her_o infancy_n she_o be_v so_o bring_v up_o as_o to_o esteem_v chastity_n the_o rich_a jewel_n of_o the_o female_a sex_n wherefore_o she_o have_v be_v so_o well_o fix_v by_o education_n in_o the_o centre_n of_o a_o chaste_a resolution_n that_o she_o can_v never_o be_v draw_v by_o persuasion_n or_o any_o other_o moral_a inducement_n of_o delight_n commodity_n or_o advancement_n that_o the_o world_n can_v suggest_v unto_o she_o to_o yield_v to_o the_o bent_n of_o any_o exorbitant_a lust_n or_o immodest_a desire_n and_o since_o the_o death_n of_o her_o good_a mother_n she_o have_v always_o profess_v that_o she_o never_o think_v her_o will_n can_v be_v carry_v in_o its_o proper_a orb_n but_o when_o it_o be_v place_v in_o the_o good_a like_v of_o her_o near_a relation_n and_o discreet_a friend_n according_a to_o who_o precept_n and_o admonition_n she_o endeavour_v strict_o to_o conform_v her_o deportment_n in_o all_o thing_n she_o be_v not_o therefore_o like_o the_o young_a woman_n of_o st._n frianos_n gate_n in_o florence_n nor_o be_v she_o when_o the_o defendant_n unhappy_o know_v she_o like_o the_o practice_v dame_n of_o paris_n who_o find_v nothing_o new_a or_o strange_a the_o first_o night_n of_o their_o marriage_n nor_o be_v she_o any_o of_o those_o pretender_n only_o to_o

confidence_n that_o notwithstanding_o her_o late_a misfortune_n she_o be_v not_o only_o a_o approve_a example_n but_o also_o a_o wonder_n of_o chastity_n the_o like_a whereof_o will_v not_o perhaps_o be_v leave_v upon_o the_o record_n of_o this_o age_n all_o circumstance_n concur_v to_o the_o view_n of_o posterity_n insomuch_o that_o she_o may_v be_v perfect_o resemble_v to_o the_o pretty_a

so_o much_o of_o her_o education_n in_o virtue_n and_o modesty_n which_o give_v she_o a_o large_a claim_n to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o worthy_a deportment_n and_o now_o i_o be_o to_o slide_v into_o the_o consideration_n of_o some_o of_o her_o most_o remarkable_a qualification_n which_o i_o shall_v brief_o set_v forth_o in_o the_o light_n of_o truth_n but_o not_o in_o the_o splendour_n of_o eloquence_n in_o the_o first_o place_n she_o have_v be_v instruct_v that_o a_o estate_n without_o virtue_n and_o merit_n be_v but_o a_o testimony_n of_o good_a fortune_n and_o no_o advancement_n to_o

the_o exornation_n of_o herself_o with_o all_o quality_n belong_v to_o a_o gentlewoman_n so_o that_o to_o speak_v negative_o of_o she_o per_fw-la remotionem_fw-la imperfectionis_fw-la she_o be_v not_o

i_o be_o resolve_v against_o inlargement_n of_o discourse_n otherwise_o i_o may_v speak_v diffusive_o of_o all_o these_o her_o laudable_a endowment_n as_o also_o of_o her_o affability_n which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o affection_n of_o her_o courtly_a accomplishment_n consist_v in_o a_o proportionable_a agreeableness_n and_o compliance_n with_o all_o commendable_a or_o tolerable_a disposition_n if_o any_o shall_v object_v that_o the_o above_o recite_v quality_n be_v bait_n which_o float_v upon_o the_o water_n without_o a_o hook_n and_o do_v rare_o catch_v husband_n to_o this_o i_o reply_v that_o she_o have_v in_o surplusage_n of_o these_o a_o noble_a estate_n sufficient_a to_o recommend_v she_o to_o the_o prime_n or_o at_o least_o the_o second_o rate_n of_o husband_n in_o the_o

have_v be_v crown_v with_o the_o royal_a state_n and_o imperial_a command_n of_o all_o the_o kingdom_n upon_o earth_n in_o their_o most_o flourish_a condition_n and_o pacifique_a possession_n and_o if_o she_o by_o marry_v he_o may_v have_v enjoy_v that_o universal_a dominion_n the_o length_n of_o the_o world_n duration_n she_o will_v never_o have_v consent_v to_o the_o fetter_n of_o his_o

far_o at_o least_o as_o it_o be_v convenient_a to_o stamp_v a_o figure_n of_o so_o foul_a a_o fact_n in_o their_o imagination_n for_o as_o it_o be_v wisdom_n in_o galen_n not_o to_o leave_v behind_o
