Le. I would have you consider if it be not hazardous to keep such a great Maid as she at Home, you should look out for a Husband for her.
Gi. There's no Need of that, for she has Sweet-hearts enough already.
Le. But why then don't you single out one for her, him that you like the best of them?
Gi. They are all so good that I can't tell which to chuse: But my Daughter won't hear of marrying.
Le. How say you! If I am not mistaken, she has been marriageable for some Time. She has been fit for a Husband a great While, ripe for Wedlock, ready for a Husband this great While.
Gi. Why not, she is above seventeen, she's above two and twenty, she's in her nineteenth Year, she's above eighteen Years old.
Le. But why is she averse to Marriage?
Gi. She says she has a Mind to be married to Christ.
Le. In Truth he has a great many Brides. But is she married to an evil Genius that lives chastly with a Husband?
Gi. I don't think so.
