to_o that_o end_n that_o clement_n may_v be_v superextol_v and_o commend_v above_o they_o both_o for_o both_o man_n be_v inferior_a to_o he_o and_o many_o woman_n have_v come_v under_o he_o but_o

as_o far_o as_o a_o profess_a soldier_n then_o doubtless_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n be_v judith_n to_o be_v prefer_v before_o clement_n for_o that_o be_v a_o woman_n and_o therefore_o by_o nature_n more_o timorous_a she_o attempt_v as_o much_o and_o more_o than_o he_o yea_o but_o consider_v that_o as_o she_o be_v a_o woman_n so_o she_o be_v fair_a and_o as_o her_o sex_n on_o the_o one_o side_n do_v dispose_v she_o to_o fear_v so_o her_o beauty_n on_o the_o other_o side_n make_v her_o secure_a yea_o sixtus_n we_o consider_v it_o very_o well_o and_o know_v that_o in_o rome_n the_o argument_n be_v forcible_a full_o well_o we_o know_v that_o your_o lateran_n palace_n be_v never_o so_o sure_o lock_v but_o a_o woman_n at_o midnight_n may_v bold_o and_o free_o have_v access_n i_o let_v pass_v

his_o devotion_n be_v fantastical_a his_o affection_n be_v over_o foolish_a to_o they_o and_o long_o doubtless_o have_v he_o live_v if_o he_o have_v never_o love_v nor_o repose_v any_o confidence_n in_o they_o and_o that_o those_o caitiffs_n know_v full_a well_o for_o which_o most_o in_o humane_o they_o repay_v he_o that_o ill_a therefore_o i_o say_v there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o a_o friar_n may_v not_o as_o secure_o adventure_v himself_o into_o the_o host_n of_o the_o king_n as_o do_v judith_n into_o the_o tent_n of_o holofernes_n therefore_o consequent_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n why_o
