i_o have_v hear_v of_o such_o a_o business_n and_o have_v speak_v with_o his_o cousin_n about_o it_o and_o that_o she_o find_v it_o so_o distasteful_a to_o her_o mother_n and_o i_o seem_v willing_a to_o lay_v it_o aside_o if_o the_o like_a willingness_n be_v in_o he_o be_v she_o so_o say_v he_o yes_o real_o say_v i_o i_o do_v not_o see_v but_o she_o may_v be_v persuade_v to_o it_o and_o so_o i_o will_v have_v you_o for_o i_o tell_v you_o if_o you_o go_v on_o it_o will_v be_v the_o ruin_n of_o you_o both_o perhaps_o this_o familiarity_n may_v have_v somewhat_o settle_v your_o affection_n to_o one_o another_o and_o therefore_o for_o the_o present_a i_o will_v have_v you_o forbear_v go_v to_o she_o and_o that_o will_v lessen_v it_o upon_o this_o he_o absent_v for_o a_o few_o day_n but_o be_v underhand_o solicit_v by_o they_o to_o come_v thither_o he_o be_v very_o importunate_a with_o i_o to_o go_v i_o confess_v i_o be_v much_o against_o it_o but_o because_o he_o so_o earnest_o press_v it_o at_o last_o i_o give_v way_n to_o it_o tell_v he_o i_o hope_v it_o may_v be_v so_o good_a and_o that_o he_o will_v so_o full_o tell_v she_o his_o mind_n that_o she_o may_v have_v no_o more_o thought_n of_o it_o about_o a_o hour_n after_o he_o be_v go_v i_o go_v after_o he_o and_o when_o i_o come_v to_o lingsted_n i_o ask_v for_o they_o and_o my_o sister_n tell_v i_o they_o be_v in_o the_o parlour_n come_v say_v i_o let_v you_o and_o i_o go_v to_o they_o and_o when_o we_o come_v to_o they_o cousin_n and_o son_n say_v i_o i_o have_v already_o speak_v to_o you_o both_o apart_o now_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o my_o mind_n together_o it_o be_v this_o i_o shall_v never_o give_v my_o consent_n that_o you_o two_o shall_v be_v marry_v together_o for_o i_o do_v and_o ever_o do_v abhor_v the_o marriage_n of_o cousin_n german_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v both_o fair_o lay_v it_o down_o there_o need_v be_v no_o more_o word_n of_o it_o and_o i_o think_v no_o wrong_n to_o either_o party_n for_o if_o you_o have_v be_v so_o foolish_a as_o to_o make_v engagement_n to_o one_o another_o it_o be_v without_o your_o parent_n consent_n or_o knowledge_n and_o between_o party_n not_o fit_a to_o marry_v together_o and_o now_o your_o parent_n know_v of_o it_o they_o be_v utter_o against_o it_o and_o therefore_o you_o may_v both_o disengage_v each_o other_o of_o your_o promise_n and_o i_o think_v no_o harm_n do_v but_o all_o well_o and_o then_o cousin_n anne_n be_v assure_v i_o shall_v be_v a_o good_a friend_n to_o you_o upon_o this_o the_o young_a couple_n begin_v to_o be_v something_o at_o a_o stand_n when_o present_o my_o sister_n say_v brother_n what_o if_o my_o daughter_n be_v with_o child_n true_o sister_n say_v i_o it_o be_v a_o question_n very_o unseasonable_o put_v and_o i_o think_v upon_o no_o ground_n for_o i_o be_o confident_a that_o he_o do_v never_o lie_v with_o she_o which_o he_o have_v often_o since_o profess_v and_o that_o he_o do_v not_o know_v whether_o she_o be_v man_n or_o woman_n but_o if_o she_o be_v with_o child_n say_v i_o the_o bastard_n must_v be_v keep_v better_a so_o then_o worse_o for_o i_o tell_v you_o george_n if_o you_o marry_v she_o you_o must_v not_o look_v to_o come_v within_o my_o door_n upon_o this_o my_o sister_n present_o reply_v cousin_n george_n be_v not_o discourage_v with_o that_o for_o if_o your_o father_n will_v not_o receive_v you_o i_o will_v and_o you_o shall_v be_v welcome_a to_o i_o stay_v as_o long_o as_o you_o please_v this_o be_v right_a say_v i_o now_o you_o have_v full_o discover_v yourself_o to_o be_v what_o i_o think_v you_o the_o main_a contriver_n of_o the_o match_n i_o have_v do_v come_v george_n say_v i_o if_o you_o will_v go_v home_o with_o i_o well_o and_o good_a if_o not_o take_v what_o come_v of_o it_o and_o so_o away_o i_o go_v about_o half_a a_o hour_n after_o my_o son_n follow_v i_o home_o i_o tell_v he_o it_o be_v well_o he_o be_v come_v and_o wish_v he_o to_o forbear_v go_v thither_o anymore_o he_o follow_v my_o advice_n and_o keep_v with_o i_o but_o private_o underhand_o my_o sister_n and_o his_o cousin_n send_v to_o he_o and_o then_o she_o carry_v her_o daughter_n up_o to_o london_n and_o there_o endeavour_v to_o have_v they_o ask_v at_o church_n and_o cry_v at_o market_n which_o come_v to_o my_o ear_n i_o prevent_v and_o that_o most_o fearful_o mad_v she_o and_o her_o party_n and_o to_o prevent_v far_a attempt_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n his_o uncle_n dudley_n come_v in_o the_o nick_n of_o time_n and_o offer_v himself_o my_o son_n also_o desire_v it_o he_o be_v admit_v his_o companion_n and_o bedfellow_n to_o stave_v they_o off_o for_o as_o soon_o as_o my_o back_n be_v turn_v they_o be_v still_o solicit_v of_o he_o then_o my_o son_n present_o write_v a_o civil_a letter_n to_o she_o that_o whatever_o his_o intent_n be_v heretofore_o yet_o the_o matter_n be_v now_o know_v to_o his_o father_n he_o do_v see_v so_o much_o averseness_n in_o he_o that_o he_o can_v not_o go_v on_o and_o that_o they_o be_v so_o near_o of_o blood_n that_o he_o fear_v god_n will_v never_o prosper_v such_o a_o marriage_n and_o therefore_o desire_v she_o to_o have_v no_o more_o thought_n of_o it_o after_o this_o her_o friend_n solicit_v and_o trouble_v he_o he_o go_v into_o sussex_n with_o his_o uncle_n dudley_n and_o be_v absent_a from_o i_o near_o six_o month_n in_o all_o that_o time_n for_o aught_o i_o ever_o hear_v they_o keep_v very_o good_a company_n and_o live_v orderly_o and_o what_o ever_o his_o uncle_n do_v himself_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o be_v careful_a that_o my_o son_n shall_v no_o way_n be_v debauch_v neither_o do_v i_o at_o his_o return_n find_v he_o taint_v with_o the_o vice_n of_o the_o time_n but_o every_o way_n very_o well_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o do_v run_v far_o great_a hazard_n when_o he_o keep_v her_o kindred_n company_n for_o i_o have_v be_v inform_v by_o a_o good_a hand_n that_o there_o be_v strange_a plot_n to_o intoxicate_v he_o so_o to_o work_v their_o end_n i_o be_o ashamed_a to_o mention_v the_o manner_n of_o it_o indeed_o they_o can_v never_o compass_v their_o design_n for_o he_o have_v very_o often_o profess_v that_o he_o do_v never_o lie_v with_o she_o nor_o be_v ever_o marry_v to_o she_o something_o they_o talk_v of_o be_v say_v by_o a_o man_n of_o their_o procure_n in_o a_o chamber_n but_o sure_o it_o signify_v nothing_o for_o she_o have_v discharge_v he_o of_o that_o and_o all_o his_o other_o promise_n to_o she_o and_o as_o he_o say_v do_v give_v he_o free_a liberty_n to_o marry_v who_o he_o please_v and_o i_o very_o believe_v have_v it_o not_o be_v for_o the_o mother_n little_a dispute_n have_v be_v about_o it_o for_o not_o long_o defore_o his_o death_n he_o be_v hear_v to_o say_v that_o he_o will_v not_o for_o ten_o thousand_o pound_n that_o he_o have_v be_v marry_v to_o his_o cousin_n anne_n de_fw-fr lawn_n for_o i_o can_v not_o have_v love_v she_o say_v he_o a_o month_n to_o a_o end_n and_o i_o be_o sure_a of_o late_a he_o be_v so_o averse_a to_o they_o that_o he_o can_v not_o endure_v any_o mention_n of_o she_o or_o her_o mother_n and_o this_o be_v the_o story_n of_o that_o so_o much_o talk_v of_o marriage_n and_o wherein_o i_o pray_v you_o lie_v the_o heinousness_n of_o my_o sin_n in_o this_o business_n if_o i_o do_v forbid_v my_o son_n to_o marry_v where_o to_o i_o it_o seem_v absolute_o forbid_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o decree_n of_o ancient_a council_n and_o not_o allow_v by_o the_o most_o orthodox_a and_o best_a man_n i_o be_o sure_a the_o scripture_n say_v thou_o shall_v not_o approach_v to_o any_o that_o be_v near_o of_o kin_n to_o thou_o and_o i_o be_o sure_a cousin_n german_n be_v very_o near_o of_o kin_n let_v other_o do_v as_o they_o will_v and_o make_v what_o construction_n they_o please_v the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n have_v and_o ever_o shall_v prevail_v with_o i_o so_o long_o as_o god_n have_v give_v we_o choice_n enough_o i_o think_v i_o shall_v not_o venture_v within_o the_o line_n and_o what_o ever_o may_v be_v talk_v it_o be_v neither_o smallness_n of_o portion_n nor_o want_v of_o proportion_n and_o handsomeness_n nor_o meanness_n of_o birth_n nor_o unfitness_n of_o year_n or_o any_o outward_a thing_n though_o perhaps_o there_o may_v be_v enough_o to_o except_v against_o that_o make_v i_o so_o averse_a but_o only_o the_o prohibition_n of_o heaven_n which_o say_v thou_o shall_v not_o approach_v etc._n etc._n and_o now_o gentleman_n if_o i_o must_v be_v punish_v for_o cause_v
