of_o the_o world_n and_o in_o her_o marriage_n converse_v for_o the_o first_o she_o be_v with_o a_o awful_a and_o single_a eye_n and_o honour_v heart_n to_o behold_v in_o her_o husband_n the_o gift_n

may_v put_v they_o forward_o to_o express_v themselves_o before_o their_o husband_n now_o if_o such_o woman_n then_o how_o much_o more_o must_v ordinary_a woman_n be_v subject_a in_o this_o kind_n to_o their_o husband_n she_o ought_v indeed_o to_o encourage_v her_o husband_n cordial_o to_o proceed_v in_o such_o a_o course_n show_v it_o to_o be_v the_o joy_n of_o her_o heart_n when_o she_o see_v
