Man, taking her* body the mind 151 4| physical love enervates man, as being his favourite 152 5| a woman as Emilius is a man, and to render her so, it 153 5| less bodily strength than man; and hence infers, that 154 5| to lust, he insists that man should not exert his strength, 155 5| desires than she has given man to satisfy them, makes the 156 5| delightful circumstance a man finds in his victory is, 157 5| please, and be subject to man, the conclusion is just, 158 5| whether woman was created for man: and, though the cry of 159 5| the account of the fall of man, were literally true, I 160 5| continues Rousseau, 'that man and woman are not, nor ought 161 5| adapted to them. Woman and man were made for each other; 162 5| Rousseau is not the only man who has indirectly said 163 5| a being so imperfect as man, often full of vices, and 164 5| such an imperfect being as man, they ought to learn from 165 5| sacred rights belong only to man.~ ~ The being who patiently 166 5| side will always bring a man back to reason, at least 167 5| selfishness, who can caress a man, with true feminine softness, 168 5| nature and art, to please man? what can make her amends 169 5| in the womb of time; but man, who can only inspect disjointed 170 5| not be the companion of man; but his slave: it is by 171 5| the natural superiority of man extends. For what reason 172 5| and for the same reason. A man speaks of what he knows, 173 5| the principal object of a man's discourse should be what 174 5| be termed the eyes, and man the hand, with this dependence 175 5| other, that it is from the man that the woman is to learn 176 5| it is of the woman that man is to learn what he ought 177 5| principles of things as well as man, and man was capacitated 178 5| things as well as man, and man was capacitated to enter 179 5| chastity and justify the man's choice, in the eyes of 180 5| reflect, that a reflecting man may not yawn in her company, 181 5| Tully's offices, to make a man of probity: and perhaps 182 5| very short time? For no man ever insisted more on the 183 5| order of nature. When a man is married, however, to 184 5| interesting by sense?~ ~ The man who can be contented to 185 5| still alone, unless when the man is sunk in the brute.

A man, or a woman, of any feeling, 197 5| vanity, is despicable. When a man squeezes the hand of a pretty 198 5| the boasted prerogative of man - the prerogative that may 199 5| Whilst reason raises man above the brutal herd, and 200 5| He is the true man, whom truth makes free!' - 201 5| day, not for life, that man bargains with happiness. 202 5| addresses a new married man; and to elucidate this pompous 203 5| gain and keep the heart of man; and what mortification 204 5| gain and keep the heart of man:' - and what is the inference? - 205 5| tells a story of a young man engaged by his father's 206 5| actually marrying the young man of her own choice, without 207 5| every thing, saith the wise man, there is a season; - and 208 5| before its calm evening, when man should retire to contemplation 209 5| officers and women.~ ~ A young man who has been bred up with 210 5| rendering us more severe than man ought to be, might lead 211 5| mind.

'A man,' adds he, 'secure in his 248 8| unlucky circumstance, a good man may come to be suspected 249 8| same manner as a cautious man, notwithstanding his utmost 250 8| his conduct. An innocent man may be believed to have 251 8| they seek; for the heart of man cannot be read by man! Still 252 8| of man cannot be read by man! Still the fair fame that 253 8| by good actions, when the man is only employed to direct 254 8| true, trials when the good man must appeal to God from 255 8| God from the injustice of man; and amidst the whining 256 8| to affirm, that after a man is arrived at maturity, 257 8| a prudent, worldly-wise man, with only negative virtues 258 8| than a wiser or a better man.
