I may reckon the Ladies themselves as a third Class among these my Correspondents and Privy-Counsellors. In a Letter from one of them, I am advised to place
Pharamond

Coquetilla
begs me not to think of nailing Women upon their Knees with Manuals of Devotion, nor of scorching their Faces with Books of Housewifry.
Florella
desires to know if there are any Books written against Prudes, and intreats me, if there are, to give them a Place in my Library.
