monastery And let theym all way remembre Ananie and Saphire lesse perauenture they and all other which do any deceyte in the goodꝭ of the monastery suffre lyke deth in their sowles as the forsayd Ananie and Saphire suffred in their bodies that is to say sodeyne deth In the prices of all suche stuffe the synne of courtouse muste vtterly be exchued and therfore let it be solde somwhat better chepe than it sholde haue be of secular persons to th entent that god may be glorified in all thynges ¶ The .lviii. chapiter treateth of the maner forme of the receyuinge of susters into the monastery WHan any person commethe newly to conuersyon towardes religigiō hyr enterynge shall not be lyghtly graunted to hir but as the appostell saythe take ye a good proufe whether hir inward intent and desyre com of god or not And therfore if suche oon cōmyng doo perseuer in hir desyre be perceyued to suffer pacyently iniurys sayd and doon vnto hir and to be contented with the difficultie that is made for hir entringe by the space of .iiii. or .v. dayes and that she stonde stedfaste in hir peticion let hir be admitted to entre and then let hir be in the gesten chambre a fewe dayes and
