age_n and_o by_o the_o order_n of_o my_o superior_n follow_v my_o study_n in_o a_o certain_a town_n i_o be_v come_v familiar_o acquaint_v with_o two_o citizen_n of_o the_o place_n they_o be_v both_o

know_v that_o n._n be_v his_o daughter_n because_o she_o for_o certain_a reason_n have_v always_o keep_v that_o secret_a to_o herself_o i_o advise_v she_o therefore_o first_o that_o she_o shall_v find_v out_o some_o way_n whereby_o she_o may_v safe_o declare_v the_o whole_a matter_n to_o her_o husband_n to_o which_o she_o answer_v that_o she_o dare_v in_o no_o wise_a do_v that_o for_o if_o my_o husband_n say_v she_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o i_o be_o certain_a that_o he_o will_v either_o kill_v the_o adulterer_n together_o with_o i_o or_o else_o be_v kill_v by_o he_o and_o so_o this_o thing_n will_v straight_o be_v spread_v abroad_o among_o the_o vulgar_a then_o say_v i_o if_o you_o dare_v not_o attempt_v this_o counfel_n yet_o at_o least_o do_v this_o by_o all_o mean_n procure_v that_o your_o illegitimate_a daughter_n be_v place_v in_o some_o monastery_n and_o let_v she_o in_o no_o case_n have_v possession_n of_o any_o part_n of_o your_o husband_n estate_n together_o with_o his_o true_a heir_n to_o their_o damage_n and_o the_o eternal_a damnation_n of_o your_o soul_n for_o if_o she_o shall_v in_o herit_v any_o part_n of_o your_o husband_n estate_n she_o will_v possess_v it_o unlawful_o and_o you_o may_v tell_v your_o husband_n that_o you_o have_v devote_v that_o daughter_n to_o religion_n and_o be_v urgent_a with_o he_o to_o suffer_v you_o to_o fulfil_v your_o vow_n according_o the_o woman_n do_v very_o oft_o endeavour_v it_o and_o i_o back_v she_o try_v by_o many_o reason_n to_o persuade_v her_o husband_n but_o all_o our_o endeavour_n be_v in_o vain_a at_o last_o i_o again_o tell_v she_o plain_o that_o if_o she_o will_v deliver_v she_o own_o soul_n she_o must_v find_v out_o some_o mean_n in_o the_o sweet_a manner_n she_o can_v possible_o to_o declare_v the_o whole_a matter_n to_o her_o husband_n that_o so_o he_o may_v not_o take_v the_o business_n so_o heinous_o as_o she_o fear_v and_o this_o before_o her_o daughter_n be_v dispose_v of_o in_o marriage_n that_o so_o at_o last_o she_o may_v be_v deliver_v from_o this_o dangerous_a and_o troublesome_a remorse_n of_o conscience_n but_o while_o she_o be_v ●oo_o long_o in_o suspense_n it_o fall_v out_o that_o the_o two_o merchant_n by_o the_o mediation_n and_o counsel_n of_o friend_n make_v up_o a_o match_n between_o the_o one_o son_n and_o the_o other_o suppose_a daughter_n but_o indeed_o between_o the_o brother_n and_o sister_n who_o be_v thus_o incestuous_o join_v wonderful_o love_v one_o the_o other_o when_o i_o behold_v so_o great_a iniquity_n out_o of_o pity_n suffer_v with_o these_o miserable_a people_n i_o try_v divers_a way_n if_o by_o any_o mean_n they_o may_v be_v separate_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o but_o when_o i_o see_v i_o a_o sail_v nothing_o and_o that_o the_o forenamed_a virgin_n n._n be_v with_o child_n by_o her_o brother_n her_o husband_n and_o be_v call_v home_o by_o the_o command_n of_o my_o superior_n i_o counsel_v she_o that_o have_v commit_v the_o first_o sin_n and_o adultery_n that_o she_o shall_v discover_v in_o confession_n her_o whole_a sorrow_n to_o one_o brother_n n._n a_o pious_a and_o learned_a man_n and_o follow_v his_o advice_n and_o so_o i_o depart_v but_o how_o unhappy_o these_o matter_n afterward_o succeed_v with_o they_o as_o that_o brother_n write_v i_o word_n i_o be_o hardly_o able_a to_o express_v and_o true_o all_o this_o story_n be_v of_o my_o own_o knowledge_n therefore_o how_o many_o probable_o may_v there_o be_v of_o brother_n and_o sister_n and_o other_o near_a kindred_n which_o i_o know_v nothing_o of_o which_o may_v in_o other_o place_n be_v join_v together_o in_o matrimony_n true_o i_o fear_v that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a father_n which_o very_o be_v not_o fit_a to_o be_v speak_v of_o that_o do_v commit_v incest_n and_o adultery_n with_o his_o own_o daughter_n plain_o beloved_n it_o can_v not_o be_v speak_v how_o many_o and_o grievous_a sin_n have_v their_o birth_n and_o original_n out_o of_o luxury_n and_o adultery_n take_v it_o for_o certain_a that_o adultery_n be_v a_o enormous_a crime_n and_o very_o odious_a to_o god_n therefore_o have_v hell_n enlarge_v its_o munch_v without_o bound_n believe_v i_o a_o adulterer_n or_o adulteress_n be_v in_o a_o manner_n worse_o than_o a_o thief_n or_o robber_n for_o a_o thief_n and_o a_o robber_n do_v but_o take_v away_o a_o man_n temporal_a good_n but_o a_o adulterer_n or_o adulteress_n do_v commit_v a_o more_o heinous_a crime_n by_o commit_v adultery_n for_o god_n himself_o institute_v matrimony_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v proper_o he_o and_o he_o himself_o do_v so_o strong_o join_v twain_o mutual_o together_o in_o all_o faithfulness_n that_o they_o be_v call_v one_o body_n and_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o least_o unfaithfulness_n one_o to_o the_o other_o since_o they_o have_v both_o vow_v and_o promise_v to_o god_n that_o they_o will_v constant_o be_v faithful_a the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o a_o thief_n therefore_o as_o i_o say_v and_o a_o robber_n take_v away_o a_o man_n good_n but_o a_o adulterer_n and_o adulteress_n incur_v the_o guilt_n of_o perjury_n and_o therefore_o steal_v that_o which_o belong_v to_o god_n and_o asmuch_o as_o in_o they_o be_v spoil_n and_o rob_v he_o for_o certain_o sacred_a wedlock_n be_v ordain_v of_o god_n himself_o that_o it_o may_v be_v he_o and_o that_o man_n in_o much_o faithfulness_n and_o sanctity_n may_v beget_v child_n to_o this_o end_n that_o his_o kingdom_n may_v be_v fill_v hence_o therefore_o now_o you_o yourselves_o gather_v whither_o adultery_n be_v not_o far_o worse_o than_o theft_n and_o rapine_n when_o as_o adulterer_n steal_v that_o which_o be_v god_n but_o
