Scene 1.
IF you would have your Daughter virtuously and wisely educated, you must put her into the Female Academy.
The Female Academy, what is that?
Why a House, wherein a company of young Ladies are instructed by old Matrons; as to speak wittily and rationally, and to behave themselves handsomly, and to live virtuously.
Do any men come amongst them?
O no; only there is a large open Grate, where on the out-side men stand, which come to hear and see them; but no men enter into the Academy, nor women, but those that are put in for Education; ••o•• they have another large open Grate at the other end of the Room they discourse in; where on the out-side of that Grate stand women that come to hear them discourse.
I will put my Daughter therein to be instructed.
If your Daughter were not of honourable Birth, they would not receive her, for they take in none but those of antient Descent, as also rich, for it is a place of charges.
VVhy then they will not refuse my Daughter, for she is both ho∣nourably born, and also rich.
