before_o the_o angel_n and_o before_o man_n who_o be_v expose_v to_o be_v a_o mock_a stock_n to_o those_o that_o see_v he_o nail_v upon_o the_o cross_n to_o be_v jest_v by_o they_o &_o to_o nod_v

reason_n of_o which_o your_o poverty_n may_v not_o have_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o voluntary_a which_o the_o evangelicall_a poverty_n do_v deserve_v this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o man_n put_v you_o not_o in_o the_o rank_n of_o regular_a but_o of_o secular_a beggar_n who_o be_v reduce_v to_o necessity_n by_o the_o desaster_n of_o fortune_n which_o if_o they_o support_v with_o patience_n i_o

of_o prudence_n of_o he_o that_o have_v à_fw-fr patrimony_n and_o make_v himself_o a_o hermit_n to_o renounce_v to_o that_o which_o he_o do_v possess_v to_o make_v himself_o afterward_o by_o beg_v

before_o he_o will_v go_v to_o the_o well_o or_o fontaine_v of_o his_o neighbour_n be_v that_o it_o be_v reasonable_a that_o every_o man_n live_v of_o the_o good_n which_o god_n give_v he_o or_o at_o

according_a his_o age_n but_o come_v to_o be_v more_o great_a he_o have_v thought_n and_o discourse_n of_o a_o high_a kind_n i_o know_v well_o by_o your_o song_n that_o you_o be_v yet_o in_o a_o

of_o a_o more_o excellent_a accent_n if_o thou_o have_v be_v a_o religious_a man_n thou_o will_v learn_v to_o speak_v according_a the_o precept_n of_o religion_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o

and_o more_o correct_o of_o these_o thing_n father_n quoth_v tristan_n i_o tell_v you_o already_o that_o i_o desire_v much_o to_o be_v a_o hermit_n but_o not_o a_o religious_a man_n and_o i_o quoth_v

a_o monk_n and_o no_o religious_a man_n or_o thus_o i_o will_v be_v a_o religious_a man_n and_o no_o monk_n consider_v that_o a_o monk_n &_o a_o religious_a thing_n a_o monk_n &_o a_o religious_a man_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n man_n be_v the_o same_o thing_n as_o be_v a_o man_n and_o a_o reasonable_a creature_n but_o many_o say_v tristan_n do_v not_o understand_v it_o so_o for_o i_o have_v see_v many_o religious_a man_n which_o will_v take_v it_o for_o a_o injury_n &_o for_o a_o kind_n of_o disgrace_n to_o be_v call_v monk_n and_o such_o as_o confess_v themselves_o to_o be_v monk_n and_o be_v so_o name_v in_o their_o rule_n be_v glad_a to_o be_v call_v religious_a man_n so_o much_o this_o holy_a mame_n of_o monk_n so_o venerable_a request_n the_o name_n monk_n now_o out_o of_o

dishonour_v it_o by_o their_o bad_a life_n you_o say_v true_a quoth_v the_o hermit_n and_o this_o imaginary_a distinction_n have_v be_v invent_v of_o late_a year_n and_o that_o only_a in_o france_n because_o of_o the_o heresy_n which_o defame_v that_o holy_a name_n of_o monk_n as_o she_o do_v open_v her_o unpure_a mouth_n against_o the_o church_n corrupt_v that_o which_o she_o know_v and_o
