MADAM,
YOu writ in your last Letter, that I had gi∣ven our Sex Courage and Confidence to Write, and to Divulge what they Writ in Print; but give me leave humbly to tell you, that it is no Commendation to give them Cou∣rage and Confidence, if I cannot give them Wit. But, Madam, I observe, our Sex is more apt to Read than to VVrite, and most commonly
when any of our Sex doth VVrite, they Write some Devotions, or Romances, or Receits of Medicines, for Cookery or Confectioners, or Complemental Letters, or a Copy or two of Verses, all which seems rather as Briefs than Volumes, which Express our Brief VVit in our Short Works, and to Express my self according to the Wit of our Sex, I will end this Letter, onely give me leave to subscribe my self, as truly I am,
Madam,
Your Ladiships faithful Servant.
