they_o have_v invent_v whip_v since_o they_o have_v leave_v off_o work_v which_o be_v the_o most_o extravagant_a thing_n in_o the_o world._n the_o read_n of_o a_o chapter_n of_o scripture_n will_v be_v much_o better_a than_o that_o as_o a_o excellent_a man_n say_v it_o be_v not_o the_o severity_n of_o the_o body_n nor_o the_o agitation_n of_o the_o mind_n but_o the_o good_a motion_n of_o the_o

themselves_o into_o idleness_n so_o dangerous_a both_o for_o their_o soul_n and_o body_n and_o to_o be_v so_o chargeable_a to_o the_o kingdom_n that_o keep_v they_o and_o fat_v they_o up_o without_o receive_v any_o service_n from_o they_o they_o be_v good_a for_o none_o but_o themselves_o and_o the_o pope_n who_o tyranny_n they_o support_v thus_o the_o pope_n in_o maintain_v they_o do_v good_a only_o to_o themselves_o when_o certain_o the_o monk_n at_o present_a may_v easy_o spare_v the_o pope_n wherefore_o i_o yet_o once_o more_o demand_v what_o service_n the_o pope_n do_v to_o the_o world_n as_o for_o the_o nun_n nun_n though_o there_o be_v not_o by_o much_o so_o great_a disorder_n among_o they_o as_o among_o the_o monk_n because_o general_o they_o have_v no_o share_n at_o all_o in_o the_o affair_n of_o a_o civil_a life_n yet_o i_o think_v i_o may_v safe_o say_v it_o that_o father_n and_o mother_n who_o be_v desirous_a of_o their_o child_n salvation_n ought_v not_o to_o send_v they_o to_o such_o house_n and_o that_o there_o be_v more_o real_a piety_n chastity_n and_o purity_n of_o heart_n among_o secular_a woman_n than_o among_o the_o nun_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o

either_o covetous_a or_o extravagant_a fantastical_a without_o humanity_n for_o these_o poor_a young_a woman_n without_o conduct_n and_o almost_o always_o without_o piety_n i_o have_v know_v many_o of_o they_o in_o my_o time_n but_o never_o see_v any_o that_o be_v worthy_a of_o this_o employment_n but_o madam_n de_fw-fr fonteurault_n daughter_n of_o king_n henry_n the_o four_o in_o those_o

these_o nun_n be_v also_o too_o great_a as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o monk_n and_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v reduce_v so_o that_o those_o who_o remain_v shall_v have_v 200_o liver_n a_o year_n for_o
