1. Gent.

THis is not to be suffered: for if we should let these Ladies rest in peace and quiet, in their inclosed Habitation, we shall have none but Old Women; for all those young Ladies, that are not in the Aca∣demy, talk of nothing but of going into a Female Academy.

for all the Youngest, Fairest, Richest, and Noblest Ladies, to inclose them∣selves into an Academy.

1. Gent.

6. Gent.
