in_o she_o who_o make_v it_o her_o only_a pride_n and_o concern_v to_o set_v it_o off_o and_o such_o a_o lady_n thus_o trig_v up_o and_o furnish_v out_o by_o great_a art_n and_o invention_n by_o

in_o purchase_v a_o grave_a of_o humility_n to_o bury_v the_o dust_n of_o their_o pride_n in_o and_o by_o so_o do_v they_o will_v certain_o find_v a_o resurrection_n of_o true_a glory_n out_o of_o

and_o to_o square_v out_o all_o their_o action_n by_o the_o golden_a rule_n of_o piety_n and_o virtue_n i_o hear_v of_o a_o gentleman_n that_o be_v dangerous_o ill_a of_o a_o dropsy_n go_v to_o a_o famous_a physician_n for_o his_o advice_n who_o bid_v he_o abstain_v from_o all_o drink_n for_o a_o twelve_o month_n and_o it_o will_v cure_v he_o i_o be_o confident_a the_o like_a kind_n of_o

but_o for_o one_o year_n and_o it_o will_v certain_o cure_v they_o of_o that_o devilish_a distemper_n of_o pride_n for_o by_o one_o twelve_o month_n banish_v it_o and_o converse_v only_o with_o virtue_n and_o humility_n which_o be_v inseparable_a friend_n they_o will_v certain_o make_v they_o so_o religious_o prudent_a and_o happy_o virtuous_a as_o to_o hate_v and_o shun_v all_o proud_a desire_n and_o flatterer_n praise_n and_o cause_v they_o to_o love_v only_o those_o that_o court_n they_o in_o the_o holy_a language_n of_o truth_n to_o the_o love_n of_o godliness_n which_o be_v the_o very_o best_a way_n they_o can_v express_v their_o love_n to_o you_o or_o you_o your_o love_n to_o yourselves_o and_o true_o lady_n i_o can_v see_v the_o least_o reason_n why_o you_o shall_v be_v against_o this_o holy_a change_n since_o it_o will_v not_o be_v a_o part_n with_o nor_o so_o much_o as_o a_o retrench_a of_o your_o love_n delight_n but_o rather_o be_v a_o better_a mean_n to_o

far_o rich_a soil_n from_o earth_n to_o heaven_n from_o the_o fade_a vanity_n of_o this_o world_n to_o the_o never_o decay_a felicity_n of_o the_o next_o and_o when_o once_o a_o young_a lady_n inclination_n be_v firm_o root_v in_o a_o real_a desire_n and_o hearty_a endeavour_n for_o this_o bless_a change_n she_o will_v soon_o find_v that_o her_o love_n will_v become_v so_o pious_o purify_v that_o instead_o of_o her_o fix_v it_o on_o mortal_a man_n she_o will_v only_o dedicate_v it_o to_o the_o service_n of_o the_o ever_o live_v god_n who_o service_n be_v still_o true_a happiness_n and_o perfect_a freedom_n then_o such_o a_o lady_n will_v be_v happy_a above_o the_o low_a region_n of_o all_o worldly_a flatterer_n and_o the_o more_o vain_a concern_v of_o a_o fade_a beauty_n she_o will_v not_o value_v the_o rally_a scoff_v and_o contempt_n of_o those_o who_o deride_v her_o humble_a and_o strict_a deportment_n now_o so_o much_o out_o of_o fashion_n among_o the_o vain_a lady_n of_o

both_o of_o the_o great_a antiquity_n for_o its_o parent_n and_o the_o first_o rank_n of_o miracle_n for_o its_o honour_n for_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o the_o first_o miracle_n our_o bless_a

how_o scandalous_a it_o be_v for_o a_o man_n to_o sit_v on_o a_o lady_n bed_n which_o be_v no_o very_o strange_a thing_n in_o england_n where_o it_o may_v be_v do_v without_o the_o least_o harm_n though_o it_o can_v in_o france_n without_o the_o great_a scandal_n but_o unfortunate_o this_o lady_n lover_n come_v in_o to_o visit_v she_o at_o the_o very_a nick_n of_o time_n that_o he_o be_v sit_v

if_o she_o desire_v to_o keep_v her_o reputation_n whole_a and_o that_o woman_n that_o know_v she_o shall_v lose_v her_o reputation_n if_o she_o will_v admit_v a_o man_n to_o sit_v on_o her_o bed_n in_o my_o opinion_n deserve_v to_o lose_v her_o good_a name_n for_o do_v it_o let_v the_o action_n in_o itself_o and_o her_o intention_n as_o to_o herself_o be_v never_o so_o innocent_a but_o this_o severe_a custom_n in_o france_n be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n to_o the_o severity_n or_o rather_o cruelty_n that_o be_v general_o practise_v in_o italy_n by_o husband_n towards_o their_o wife_n for_o there_o all_o young_a gentlewoman_n be_v keep_v and_o breed_v up_o in_o a_o strict_a confinement_n in_o nunnery_n till_o marry_v and_o when_o they_o be_v so_o be_v keep_v but_o a_o kind_n of_o prisoner_n in_o their_o own_o house_n so_o that_o all_o the_o writ_n of_o ease_n a_o maid_n get_v by_o marry_v be_v but_o the_o exchange_a one_o prison_n for_o another_o which_o render_v they_o the_o more_o eager_a after_o liberty_n as_o pen_v up_o river_n swell_v for_o be_v confine_v and_o run_v more_o violent_a when_o they_o get_v their_o freedom_n for_o have_v be_v debar_v of_o it_o and_o hinder_v from_o their_o natural_a course_n so_o most_o of_o these_o imprison_a wife_n be_v keep_v chaste_a by_o their_o husband_n strict_a confine_v mean_v of_o they_o and_o careful_a watchfulness_n over_o they_o rather_o than_o by_o the_o motion_n of_o their_o own_o natural_a temper_n or_o virtuous_a inclination_n but_o for_o my_o own_o part_n as_o i_o utter_o detest_v the_o severity_n husband_n use_v to_o their_o wife_n in_o italy_n so_o i_o do_v not_o altogether_o approve_v the_o great_a freedom_n that_o many_o husband_n do_v allow_v their_o wife_n in_o england_n or_o their_o wife_n will_v allow_v themselves_o some_o husband_n grant_v they_o such_o large_a range_v of_o liberty_n as_o they_o by_o it_o often_o show_v more_o alonfidence_n in_o their_o wife_n than_o discretion_n in_o themselves_o since_o a_o large_a liberty_n without_o a_o suitable_a proportion_n of_o prudence_n to_o well_o manage_v it_o often_o cause_v high_a extravagancy_n and_o foul_a excess_n and_o therefore_o i_o believe_v as_o many_o husband_n have_v make_v their_o wife_n dishonest_a by_o too_o much_o mistrust_v they_o for_o revenge_n be_v very_o sweet_a and_o natural_a to_o woman_n so_o i_o also_o believe_v some_o wife_n have_v be_v make_v dishonest_a by_o their_o husband_n too_o much_o trust_v they_o opportunity_n often_o make_v a_o thief_n which_o have_v not_o perhaps_o be_v a_o thief_n but_o for_o the_o opportunity_n the_o italian_n have_v a_o certain_a way_n of_o reason_v as_o to_o the_o secure_v their_o wife_n by_o say_v that_o no_o wife_n can_v be_v dishonest_a without_o a_o opportunity_n to_o be_v so_o time_n and_o action_n be_v inseparable_a therefore_o say_v they_o ever_o keep_v your_o wife_n from_o a_o opportunity_n and_o you_o will_v ever_o keep_v her_o honest_a but_o god_n forbid_v that_o all_o man_n that_o have_v opportunity_n shall_v be_v thief_n or_o that_o all_o woman_n that_o allow_v man_n opportunity_n shall_v allow_v they_o enjoyment_n for_o though_o the_o italian_n say_v as_o true_a that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o enjoyment_n without_o opportunity_n so_o the_o english_a say_v as_o true_a that_o there_o may_v be_v opportunity_n without_o enjoyment_n i_o remember_v in_o rome_n upon_o a_o discourse_n with_o a_o italian_a of_o the_o great_a freedom_n wife_n be_v allow_v in_o england_n i_o hear_v he_o swear_v a_o great_a oath_n that_o he_o will_v not_o trust_v the_o great_a god_n with_o his_o wife_n when_o she_o be_v alone_o in_o bed_n and_o ask_v i_o not_o only_o with_o a_o serious_a but_o furious_a countenance_n if_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o strange_a report_n can_v be_v true_a that_o the_o marry_a woman_n in_o england_n have_v liberty_n to_o go_v abroad_o with_o man_n and_o to_o receive_v visit_n from_o they_o in_o their_o chamber_n nay_o sometime_o when_o they_o be_v in_o bed_n i_o assure_v he_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o the_o woman_n of_o the_o high_a quality_n great_a esteem_n and_o best_a reputation_n do_v both_o go_v abroad_o with_o man_n in_o their_o company_n and_o receive_v man_n visit_n in_o their_o camber_n and_o sometime_o by_o man_n at_o the_o usual_a visit_a hour_n when_o they_o be_v in_o bed_n and_o by_o near_a kindred_n at_o all_o time_n and_o that_o this_o freedom_n be_v allow_v by_o virtuous_a and_o great_a woman_n to_o man_n without_o the_o least_o scandal_n for_o nearness_n of_o kin_n though_o it_o can_v great_o foul_o action_n yet_o it_o can_v protect_v freedom_n but_o for_o a_o marry_a woman_n to_o admit_v the_o liberty_n to_o a_o man_n that_o be_v no_o way_n relate_v to_o herself_o husband_n or_o family_n except_o upon_o some_o good_a ground_n or_o extraordinary_a occasion_n argue_v in_o my_o opinion_n great_a weakness_n and_o high_a indiscretion_n be_v a_o thing_n i_o can_v with_o prudence_n approve_v nor_o a_o wife_n i_o think_v with_o discretion_n admit_v for_o though_o some_o may_v favour_v such_o a_o freedom_n with_o a_o innocent_a construction_n yet_o other_o may_v brand_v it_o with_o a_o scandalous_a interpretation_n and_o usual_o indiscreet_a freedom_n produce_v dishonourable_a censure_n and_o that_o marry_a man_n that_o allow_v young_a gallant_n to_o visit_v his_o wife_n more_o than_o ordinary_a must_v allow_v man_n to_o speak_v more_o than_o ordinary_a of_o she_o for_o it_o or_o they_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o allow_v it_o themselves_o therefore_o a_o strict_a virtuous_a wife_n ought_v serious_o to_o reflect_v on_o the_o hazard_n she_o run_v the_o folly_n she_o commit_v and_o the_o dishonour_v she_o may_v
