but onely repentance comming too late and ouer-deare bought A penance and punishment due to all such hated creatures as these are Therefore beleeue all you vnmarried wantons and in beleeuing grieue that you haue thus vnluckily made your selues neither maidens widdowes nor wiues but more vile then filthy channell-durt fit to be swept out of the heart and suburbes of your Countrey Oh then suffer not this worlds pleasure to take from you the good thoughts of an honest life But downe downe vpon your knees you earthly Serpents and wash away your black sin with the cristall teares of true sorrow and repentance so that when you wander from this inticing world you may bee washed and cleansed from this foule leprosie of nature Loe thus in remorse of minde my tongue hath vttered to the wantons of the world the aboundance of my hearts griefe which I haue perceiued by the vnseemely behauiour of vnconstant both men and women yet men for the most part are touched but with one fault which is drinking too much but it is said of women that they haue two faults that is they can neither say well nor yet doe well For commonly women are the most part of the forenoone painting themselues and frizling their haires and prying in their glasse like Apes to prancke vp themselues in their gawdies like Poppets or like the Spider which weaues a fine web to hang the flie Amongst women she is accounted a slut which goeth not in her silkes therefore if thou wilt please thy Lady thou must like and loue sue and serue and in spending thou must lay on load for they must haue maintainance howsoeuer they get it by hooke or by crooke out of Iudas bag or the Deuils budget thou must spare neither lands nor liuing money nor gold For women will account thee a pinch-penny if thou be not prodigall and a dastard if thou bee not ventrous for they account none valiant except they be desperate if silent a sot if full of words a foole iudging all to be Clownes which be not Courtiers If thou be cleanely in thine apparrell they will terme thee proud if meane in apparell a slouen if tall a lunges if short a dwarfe for they haue ripe wits and ready tongues and if they get a inch they will claime an ell shee will coll thee about thy necke with one hand but the other shall bee diving into thy pocket and if thou take her with the manner then was but in lest but many times they take in iest and if they bee not spied keepe it in earnest but if thy pockets grow empty and thy reuenues will not hold out longer to maintaine her pompe and brauery then she presently leaues to make much of thy person and will not sticke to say vnto thee that she could haue bestowed her loue on such a one as would haue maintained her like a woman so by these meanes they weaue the web of their own woe and spin the thred of their owne thraldome if they lacke they will lacke at the last for they will cut it out of the whole cloth so long as the peece will hold out Is not the Bee hiued for his hony the Sheepe sheared for his fleece the Oxe necke wrought for his masters profit the fowle plucked for her feathers the tree grafted to bring forth fruit and the earth laboured to bring foorth corne but what labour or cost thou bestowest on a woman is all cast away for shee will yeelde thee no profit at all for when thou hast done all and giuen them all that they can demand yet thou shalt bee as well rewarded as those men were whom Esop hired for three halfepence a day to heare him recite his fables These things beeing wisely considered then what a foole art thou to blinde thy selfe in their bold behauiour and bow at their beckes and come at their calls and sell thy lands to make them swimme in their silkes and iet in their iewells making Iill a Gentlewoman insomuch that shee careth not a penny for the finest nor a figge for the proudest she is as good as the best although she haue no more honesty then barely to serue her owne turne suffering euery mans fingers as deep in the dish as thine are in the platter and euery man to angle where thou castest thy hooke holding vp to all that come not much vnlike a Barbers chaire that so soone as one knaue is out another is in a common hackney for euery one that will ride a boat for euery one to row in now if thy wealth doe begin to faile then she biddeth thee farwell and giueth thee the adieu in the Deuils name not much vnlike the knauish Porters in Bristow who will cry A new master a new and hang vp the old If the matter be so plaine then consider this that the house where such a one keepeth her residence is more-odious with slander then carrion doth infect the ayre with stinke let them flatter how they will there is no loue in them but from the teeth outward I blaze their properties the plainer and giue thee the stronger reasons because I would haue thee loath the alluring traines of such deceitfull and lasciuious women although she make great protestations of loue and thereto bindeth her selfe with most damnable oathes then beleeue her least of all for there is no more hold in her oathes nor in her loue then is certainly of a faire day in Aprill although it looke neuer so cleere yet it may turne to a foule I haue seene a Curtizan thus pictured out First a faire young man blind and in his armes a beautifull woman with one hand in his pocket shewing her theft and a knife in the other hand to cut his throat Now peraduenture thou maist say vnto that thou dost not know one woman from another without some triall because all women are in shape alike for the sowre crab is like the sweet pippin true it is so the Rauen is a bird and the Swan is but a bird euen so many women are in shape Angels but in qualities Deuils painted coffius with rotten bones the Estridge carrieth faire feathers but ranck flesh the hearb Molio carrieth a flowre as white as snow but a root as blacke as inke Although women are beautifull shewing pitty yet their hearts are blacke swelling with mischiese not much vnlike vnto old trees whose outward leaues are faire and greene and yet the body rotten if thou hant their houses thou wilt be enamoured and if thou doe but harken to these Syrens thou wilt be inchanted for they will allure thee with amorous glances of lust and yet kill thee with bitter lookes of hate they haue dimples in their cheekes to deceiue thee and wrinkles in their browes to betray thee they haue eies to intice smiles to flatter imbracements to prouoke beckes to recall lips to inchant kisses to inflame and teares to excuse themselues If God had not made them only to be a plague to
