throughe mutabylytie Men were founde lyght and trundlynge as a ball In them was no fayth but infydelytye In one woman than all fayth dyd remayne when men dyd shrynke and tourne as the wynde Mary

Longe tyme before they came to effect And as saynt Austayne maketh recytacyon Of domes day the fearfull sygnes she dyd detect In the actes of the Apostles Luke doth recyte Howe Phylyp the Euangelyst had dowghters foure All virgyns cleane with whom was the spryte Of Prophecye as they Sybylles had before wherfore sens women suche knowledge haue had Both naturall pure and nature excedynge who doubteth in this except he be mad whyther they haue reason with y e power of vnderstandynge But these two powers set man in perfection And from brute beastes they do hym exclude women haue the same as
