A guide for the perplexed - this basically a FAQ related to sex and romance from 1566. Posted it simply because I found it to be interesting. It's written in a question and answer style with the questions demarcated by a ¶. The text is typical of 16th century English, hence u=v, ie=y, etc. Hence:

¶Why were Oysters consecrated by the auncient to Venus?

Bycause Oysters doe prouoke lecherie.

Becomes:

"Why were Oysters consecrated to Venus by the Ancients?

Because Oysters provoke lechery."
