Secure not your love to a woman, by oaths or protestations; for she will then think you have bound yourself to continue that respect, whieh would be otherwise her care and study to merit and preserve.
Let not the protestations of a woman's love to you be a preeednet to folly, though you love her; for she does it only to tempt you to give in the same seeurity, that she may have the more to upbraid you with, whenever you shall prove false.
If you are beloved by a person you cannot marry, whom you are willing to seeure to your own embraees, draw what you can from her insinuations; the more you get, the faster you bind her; she will not part with that easily, which she hath purehased dearly; and the more you eost her, the more she will prize you.
The love of a woman is much to be pitied, the love of a wife highly to be valued, but the love of a vieious woman deserves neither; for she will ove any that will serve her lust.
Give no eneouragement to the love of another's wife; for it is lustful in the beginning, treaeherous all along, and dangerous in the end.
Love is a distemper will wade through the greatest diffieulties to obtain a cure; he that is the physician may expect what fee he pleases;
