virgin_n see_v that_o point_n concern_v i_o more_o near_o in_o regard_n of_o my_o already_o begin_v course_n and_o it_o also_o will_v give_v i_o think_v better_a satisfaction_n to_o my_o sister_n

make_v particular_a mention_n of_o the_o veil_n k_o 468._o of_o the_o virgin_n of_o their_o religious_a l_o 874._o habit_n and_o particular_o of_o their_o consecration_n m_o 869_o and_o all_o this_o in_o the_o time_n of_o constantine_n who_o live_v three_o hundred_o year_n after_o christ_n to_o conclude_v this_o point_n the_o antiquity_n of_o virgin_n nun_n be_v much_o celebrate_v by_o joninian_n the_o three_o emperor_n after_o constantine_n and_o he_o have_v they_o in_o such_o honour_n as_o that_o he_o publish_v a_o edict_n that_o who_o n_o 3._o shall_v seek_v not_o only_o to_o violate_v

cosmophila_n you_o may_v see_v that_o this_o my_o choose_a course_n of_o life_n be_v no_o late_a innovation_n or_o out_o a_o human_a invention_n as_o some_o enemy_n thereto_o be_v not_o ashamed_a to_o affirm_v cosmophila_n i_o agree_v with_o you_o good_a sister_n in_o judgement_n herein_o but_o reverend_a good_a sir_n see_v this_o religious_a course_n of_o life_n have_v continue_v so_o many_o hundred_o year_n as_o that_o no_o more_o touch_v this_o point_n can_v be_v expect_v i_o will_v glad_o know_v what_o kind_n of_o man_n and_o especial_o of_o woman_n have_v embrace_v this_o course_n whether_o they_o have_v be_v but_o of_o the_o mean_a sort_n only_o or_o of_o more_o noble_a and_o worthy_a person_n since_o this_o late_a degree_n of_o person_n if_o so_o you_o can_v prove_v it_o will_v give_v a_o great_a lustre_n and_o glory_n to_o a_o religious_a life_n for_o i_o observe_v that_o diverse_a of_o high_a place_n and_o rank_n in_o these_o day_n do_v even_o contemn_v that_o

touch_v this_o your_o lose_a question_n or_o demand_v from_o father_n confessarius_fw-la with_o his_o good_a leave_n and_o to_o impose_v it_o upon_o myself_o and_o to_o relate_v what_o i_o have_v read_v as_o concerning_o this_o point_n in_o spiritual_a book_n write_v of_o this_o subject_n in_o our_o own_o tongue_n i_o be_o the_o more_o bold_a herein_o because_o many_o great_a example_n not_o only_o of_o man_n out_o even_o of_o woman_n embrace_v this_o state_n of_o life_n may_v be_v here_o allege_v and_o there_o example_n of_o woman_n do_v more_o near_o concern_v v●_z woman_n and_o
