love_n any_o prorogative_n above_o we_o see_v also_o if_o i_o may_v weigh_v my_o reason_n with_o the_o opinion_n of_o the_o world_n that_o as_o by_o common_a voice_n the_o woman_n be_v esteem_v above_o he_o who_o offer_v court_n to_o she_o as_o she_o be_v call_v mistress_n and_o he_o servant_n so_o it_o stand_v he_o more_o in_o duty_n not_o to_o offend_v his_o lady_n to_o who_o he_o be_v bind_v then_o she_o to_o fear_v he_o who_o she_o may_v command_v like_a as_o in_o common_a reason_n there_o be_v always_o more_o liberty_n allow_v in_o general_a respect_n to_o the_o master_n than_o a_o simple_a licence_n to_o he_o that_o profess_v the_o state_n of_o a_o servant_n and_o yet_o for_o my_o part_n because_o i_o will_v be_v no_o party_n to_o that_o fond_a opinion_n i_o neither_o can_v nor_o will_v persuade_v that_o in_o love_n there_o be_v or_o aught_o to_o be_v prorogative_n of_o power_n for_o where_o the_o woman_n be_v not_o equal_o plunge_v with_o the_o man_n nor_o he_o likewise_o as_o deep_o touch_v with_o affection_n as_o the_o woman_n how_o so_o ever_o they_o embrace_v one_o another_o yet_o such_o cold_a banquet_n can_v no_o way_n merit_v the_o name_n of_o love_n but_o rather_o mere_a dissimulation_n stir_v i_o know_v not_o by_o what_o motion_n who_o continuance_n be_v not_o long_o i_o can_v make_v no_o reckon_v of_o that_o woman_n who_o see_v her_o poor_a friend_n endure_v extreme_a passion_n of_o love_n for_o her_o sake_n will_v sometime_o embrace_v he_o to_o draw_v he_o the_o rather_o within_o her_o net_n and_o then_o upon_o the_o sudden_a will_v turn_v the_o cart_n against_o the_o horse_n and_o not_o vouchsafe_v one_o look_n of_o favour_n upon_o he_o for_o my_o part_n much_o less_o that_o i_o can_v commend_v this_o order_n see_v if_o i_o be_v allow_v precedent_n in_o that_o cause_n as_o phylopolo_fw-la will_v have_v erst_o establish_v i_o her_o cruelty_n shall_v be_v punish_v with_o a_o continuance_n of_o banishment_n from_o the_o society_n of_o all_o honest_a lady_n i_o can_v deny_v for_o all_o this_o that_o sometime_o we_o shall_v not_o be_v constrain_v to_o receive_v such_o trouble_n in_o love_n as_o it_o be_v possible_a then_o to_o entertain_v our_o lady_n or_o friend_n as_o we_o be_v wont_v but_o in_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v ignorant_a and_o much_o loss_n proceed_v by_o any_o artificial_a policy_n the_o soon_o to_o give_v they_o a_o be_v to_o buzz_v withal_o but_o rather_o by_o a_o certain_a natural_a instinct_n stir_v up_o of_o a_o extreme_a love_n under_o the_o which_o be_v comprehend_v fear_n and_o sorrow_n thus_o much_o i_o hold_v gentleman_n against_o the_o opinion_n of_o such_o as_o rash_o pretend_v inequality_n in_o love_n which_o i_o can_v never_o admit_v and_o much_o less_o allow_v that_o the_o woman_n be_v call_v mistress_n of_o the_o man_n unless_o in_o like_a sort_n he_o be_v in_o deed_n the_o peaceable_a possessor_n and_o lord_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o lady_n maintain_v also_o by_o the_o same_o contrary_a to_o phylopolo_fw-la that_o it_o be_v no_o more_o lawful_a to_o the_o man_n than_o to_o the_o woman_n under_o colour_n of_o my_o fond_a opinion_n conceive_v amongst_o man_n to_o communicate_v themselves_o in_o many_o place_n indeed_o madam_n quoth_v i_o you_o may_v well_o call_v it_o opinion_n but_o not_o nature_n how_o soever_o the_o common_a sort_n esteem_v of_o it_o wherein_o for_o a_o better_a declaration_n i_o wish_v phylopolo_fw-la to_o look_v upon_o solon_n a_o true_a follower_n of_o nature_n who_o by_o his_o law●s_n as_o one_o in_o this_o company_n do_v erst_o affirm_v make_v lawful_a to_o the_o wife_n not_o have_v mean_a to_o conceive_v by_o her_o husband_n to_o procure_v her_o generation_n by_o other_o help_n and_o yet_o you_o say_v it_o be_v a_o natural_a thing_n that_o the_o woman_n participate_v not_o but_o with_o one_o only_a if_o i_o shall_v aleage_v unto_o you_o the_o country_n of_o cypress_n wherein_o maid_n win_v their_o dowry_n by_o the_o sweat_n of_o their_o body_n will_v you_o hold_v our_o custom_n to_o be_v more_o found_v upon_o nature_n than_o that_o yea_o if_o i_o shall_v bring_v forth_o plato_n in_o who_o common_a wealth_n be_v suffer_v a_o community_n of_o woman_n will_v you_o not_o assure_v your_o say_n upon_o worldly_a opinion_n see_v that_o great_a philosopher_n think_v he_o rule_v himself_o altogether_o by_o the_o reason_n of_o nature_n i_o like_v not_o of_o that_o law_n say_v the_o lady_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o confusion_n of_o child_n as_o be_v not_o able_a to_o be_v discern_v in_o this_o quality_n no_o more_o than_o the_o request_n of_o the_o good_a matron_n of_o rome_n in_o the_o time_n of_o papyrius_n pretend_v to_o have_v two_o husband_n for_o such_o seek_v to_o much_o to_o satisfy_v their_o disordinate_a lust_n yet_o you_o see_v say_v phylopolo_fw-la with_o what_o opportunity_n these_o good_a dame_n enforce_v their_o suit_n to_o the_o senate_n and_o i_o doubt_v they_o will_v not_o have_v be_v content_v with_o two_o husband_n but_o abuse_v that_o liberty_n will_v at_o length_n have_v fall_v into_o the_o vice_n of_o all_o those_o woman_n which_o pass_v through_o the_o hand_n of_o those_o two_o errant_a knight_n astolphe_n and_o joconde_v represent_v within_o that_o excellent_a italyan_n homer_n arioste_n herein_o you_o be_v deceive_v say_v chariclea_n for_o if_o all_o those_o lady_n have_v be_v strike_v with_o such_o love_n as_o we_o speak_v of_o they_o have_v never_o fall_v and_o in_o my_o opinion_n we_o find_v more_o felicity_n in_o one_o friend_n simple_o and_o true_o affect_v than_o in_o a_o number_n other_o who_o love_n be_v either_o ordinary_a or_o for_o necessity_n wherein_o what_o better_a example_n can_v i_o aleage_v that_o out_o of_o the_o place_n you_o speak_v of_o for_o the_o same_o astolphe_n &_o joconde_v choose_v in_o the_o end_n one_o lady_n to_o content_v they_o both_o and_o yet_o a_o little_a quidam_fw-la who_o afore_o have_v gage_v the_o vessel_n of_o love_n to_o they_o both_o notwithstanding_o their_o precise_a heed_n do_v cut_v the_o grass_n from_o under_o their_o foot_n the_o same_o because_o love_v by_o this_o former_a ambush_n have_v give_v he_o a_o first_o conquest_n there_o but_o as_o these_o example_n do_v not_o touch_v i_o in_o care_n so_o be_v they_o also_o out_o of_o the_o course_n of_o my_o first_o argument_n which_o tenden_fw-ge only_a to_o this_o end_n that_o as_o i_o will_v not_o allow_v to_o a_o woman_n liberty_n of_o communion_n with_o every_o one_o so_o that_o i_o will_v not_o also_o have_v you_o to_o think_v that_o the_o same_o be_v cause_v more_o by_o a_o natural_a reason_n wherein_o you_o may_v establish_v some_o advantage_n to_o our_o prejudice_n than_o by_o a_o bounty_n and_o sincerity_n of_o heart_n which_o guide_v we_o thereunto_o in_o time_n do_v so_o settle_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o most_o man_n that_o if_o we_o offer_v to_o withstand_v it_o they_o make_v it_o a_o matter_n of_o sinister_a ymputation_n to_o we_o albeit_o in_o deed_n the_o act_n itself_o there_o be_v neither_o cause_n of_o discredit_n nor_o reason_n of_o such_o disadvantage_n as_o you_o pretend_v but_o rather_o it_o include_v matter_n of_o honour_n and_o commodity_n to_o our_o honest_a meaning_n in_o deed_n madam_n say_v glaphyro_fw-la it_o can_v not_o but_o give_v you_o a_o singular_a value_n of_o honour_n but_o for_o my_o part_n i_o believe_v that_o law_n be_v never_o erect_v but_o to_o our_o great_a confusion_n neither_o do_v i_o see_v any_o other_o cause_n why_o a_o woman_n shall_v be_v embrace_v or_o count_v by_o so_o many_o honest_a personage_n and_o not_o attain_v to_o the_o sweet_a use_n of_o their_o pleasant_a attempt_n but_o the_o tyranny_n of_o this_o wicked_a law_n raise_v as_o it_o seem_v in_o despite_n both_o of_o man_n and_o woman_n because_o the_o woman_n fear_v the_o note_n of_o dishonour_n by_o the_o world_n dare_v not_o perform_v the_o last_o act_n of_o the_o league_n but_o by_o wonderful_a policy_n hear_v phylopolo_fw-la stand_v still_o upon_o the_o iustruction_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o we_o be_v not_o direct_v by_o man_n ordinance_n wherein_o he_o
