and_o i_o believe_v still_o be_v among_o person_n of_o quality_n near_o as_o great_a a_o scandal_n for_o a_o lady_n to_o suffer_v a_o man_n to_o sit_v on_o her_o bed_n as_o to_o admit_v he_o to_o lie_v in_o it_o as_o for_o instance_n i_o remember_v when_o king_n charles_n ii_o live_v with_o queen_n mother_n in_o paris_n a_o french_a gentleman_n of_o good_a quality_n and_o great_a estate_n fall_v desperate_o in_o love_n with_o a_o english_a lady_n so_o as_o to_o desire_v to_o marry_v she_o which_o i_o count_v desperate_a love_n and_o the_o queen_n mother_n have_v in_o a_o manner_n make_v up_o the_o match_n but_o by_o a_o unfortunate_a accident_n i_o mean_v only_o for_o the_o lady_n a_o near_a kinsman_n and_o friend_n of_o she_o and_o counsellor_n in_o all_o her_o concern_v except_v those_o of_o her_o private_a amour_n come_v purposely_o out_o of_o england_n to_o assist_v she_o in_o settle_v her_o jointure_n and_o other_o marriage_n concern_v and_o this_o kinsman_n of_o she_o ignorant_a of_o the_o nice_a punctilio_n of_o the_o french_a ceremony_n do_v that_o he_o may_v the_o more_o easy_o hear_v she_o and_o she_o he_o he_o not_o know_v nor_o she_o not_o remember_v 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 on_o her_o bed_n and_o the_o mounseur_fw-fr see_v a_o man_n sit_v on_o her_o bed_n be_v so_o surprise_v at_o the_o sight_n and_o scandalize_v at_o the_o action_n that_o though_o the_o man_n great_a age_n have_v be_v of_o itself_o a_o sufficient_a antidote_n against_o his_o jealousy_n especial_o know_v how_o near_o of_o kin_n he_o be_v to_o she_o and_o how_o few_o day_n he_o declare_v stay_v with_o she_o yet_o the_o monsieur_n without_o use_v any_o word_n or_o take_v any_o consideration_n immediate_o leave_v she_o and_o her_o chamber_n and_o can_v never_o be_v persuade_v to_o return_v to_o she_o again_o this_o be_v only_o to_o mind_v you_o that_o the_o custom_n of_o a_o kingdom_n make_v rule_n and_o give_v law_n in_o its_o own_o dominion_n which_o no_o woman_n ought_v to_o break_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 suffer_v in_o her_o reputation_n by_o allow_v a_o man_n that_o be_v unfit_o qualify_v so_o great_a a_o freedom_n now_o as_o a_o antidote_n to_o prevent_v react_v the_o like_a indiscretion_n i_o shall_v advise_v that_o wife_n that_o admit_v such_o freedom_n to_o a_o man_n at_o unvisit_v hour_n serious_o to_o consider_v and_o sober_o to_o reason_n and_o argue_v with_o herself_o by_o suppose_v that_o this_o she_o now_o dear_a friend_n she_o be_v so_o fond_a of_o and_o so_o much_o rely_v in_o shall_v chance_v to_o become_v her_o enemy_n and_o brag_v he_o have_v enjoy_v she_o for_o such_o

vast_a expense_n and_o magnificence_n so_o as_o to_o be_v celebrate_v by_o some_o as_o one_o of_o the_o wonder_n of_o the_o world_n we_o read_v in_o history_n that_o alexander_n the_o great_a

to_o conquer_v and_o site_n about_o his_o palace_n of_o versailly_n as_o long_o as_o he_o live_v though_o he_o have_v more_o man_n and_o money_n to_o employ_v about_o level_v they_o than_o now_o he_o have_v indeed_o such_o a_o royal_a building_n of_o magnificence_n well_o deserve_v a_o most_o pleasant_a and_o stately_a situation_n but_o it_o seem_v that_o king_n think_v it_o more_o noble_a &_o

if_o we_o range_v over_o not_o only_a france_n and_o turkey_n but_o all_o the_o whole_a world_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o praise_n be_v the_o butt_n all_o shoot_n at_o though_o few_o hit_v the_o mark_n for_o if_o we_o but_o look_v narrow_o into_o praise_n and_o consider_v the_o action_n as_o well_o as_o the_o person_n they_o be_v common_o great_a flatterer_n and_o the_o breath_n of_o such_o praise_n be_v but_o like_o a_o rainbow_n which_o be_v no_o other_o than_o a_o mere_a seem_a collection_n of_o many_o bright_a colour_n without_o any_o true_a substance_n or_o long_a duration_n one_o

do_v it_o and_o therefore_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o god_n nature_n and_o true_a charity_n pious_a virtuous_a woman_n ought_v rather_o to_o be_v trouble_v than_o please_v for_o the_o fault_n of_o

great_a truth_n that_o though_o a_o wife_n be_v never_o so_o virtuous_a yet_o she_o ought_v to_o be_v most_o strict_o careful_a to_o prevent_v all_o other_o from_o think_v she_o the_o contrary_a and_o to_o shun_v provoke_v ill_a tongue_n as_o well_o as_o commit_v bad_a deed_n since_o many_o a_o good_a virtuous_a woman_n reputation_n have_v be_v by_o other_o false_a tongue_n sad_o blast_v and_o

with_o the_o inward_a knowledge_n of_o her_o virtue_n as_o to_o slight_v the_o outward_a care_n she_o ought_v to_o take_v and_o the_o prudent_a mean_n she_o be_v oblige_v to_o use_v to_o make_v all_o think_v she_o virtuous_a for_o though_o she_o be_v never_o true_o such_o yet_o she_o ought_v to_o take_v the_o same_o care_n and_o use_v the_o same_o mean_n and_o method_n to_o plant_v a_o good_a reputation_n in_o the_o world_n as_o good_a gardener_n do_v in_o set_v their_o tree_n in_o earth_n let_v the_o ground_n be_v never_o so_o good_a and_o rich_a which_o be_v not_o to_o plant_v they_o
