Objection: Women have no opportunity to prosecute studies, no academies or schools being open to them. Answer: There are parents and tutors. Objection: Knowledge is a useless acquirement since women are shut out from "Politicall, Eclesiasticall, or Academicall" offices. Answer: Though they gain not the Primary end of public usefulness they yet gain an important secondary personal end. Objection: Since a little knowledge will suffice for a woman in her vocation an "Encyclopædy" of knowledge is superfluous. Answer: There is ambiguity in the word "vocation." Does it mean that woman belongs to private as against public life? Then many gentlemen in private life should be shut out from studies. Does it mean woman's special calling to Family Life? But all human beings have a right to a personal development, a "Universal Calling" separate from and above their special vocation. Objection: Women do not care for studies, and nothing should "be done _invitâ Minervâ_, as we say, Against the Hair." Answer: The assumption that women do not care to apply themselves to studies becomes logically important only when it is proved of women after excitation and opportunity in studies. "No man can rightly judge of our Inclination to studies, before he hath encouraged us by the best reasons and means to set upon them: and withall hath given us some _taste_ of their sweetness." The arguments given and the objections answered lead to the statement: Wherefore our _Thesis_ stands firm: _A Christian Maid_, or _Woman may conveniently give herself to Learning_: Whence we draw this Consectary, that Maids may and ought to be excited and encouraged by the best and strongest _Reasons_, by the _Testimonies_ of wise men: and lastly by the _examples of illustrious Women_, to the embracing of this kind of life, especially _those_ who are above others provided of _leisure_, and other _means_ and _aides_ for their _studies_. And, because it is best, that the mind being seasoned with _Learning_ from the very Infancy: therefore the _Parents_ themselves are chiefly to be stirred up, as we suppose, and to be admonished of their duty. In a presentation of the appropriate range of the studies of women Anna includes the entire circle of Liberal Arts and Sciences as convenient for the Head of a Christian Maid.
