of_o this_o maiden_n shall_v not_o be_v put_v in_o oblivion_n these_o thing_n we_o have_v out_o of_o augustine_n by_o which_o word_n appear_v that_o he_o think_v that_o this_o virgin_n be_v in_o

have_v not_o pass_v two_o or_o three_o author_n but_o i_o have_v many_o which_o be_v on_o my_o side_n and_o especial_o the_o ancient_a rabbin_n which_o live_v at_o that_o time_n wherein_o the_o

old_a time_n that_o maiden_n shall_v vow_v chastity_n yea_o rather_o it_o be_v a_o curse_n if_o a_o woman_n have_v die_v without_o child_n and_o baren_a yea_o and_o god_n promise_v unto_o the_o hebrew_n if_o you_o observe_v my_o law_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o barren_a woman_n among_o you_o neither_o be_v it_o very_o lykelye_o that_o holy_a man_n will_v by_o their_o vow_n hinder_v this_o

to_o confirm_v monastical_a vow_n which_o be_v plain_o against_o the_o holy_a scripture_n for_o paul_n admonish_v that_o he_o which_o can_v contain_v shall_v marry_v a_o wife_n i_o will_v not_o speak_v how_o jiphtah_n tarry_v not_o for_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o maiden_n before_o he_o vow_v without_o which_o as_o i_o have_v before_o show_v the_o vow_n of_o virginity_n can_v not_o be_v ratify_v i_o have_v open_v my_o mouth_n say_v he_o unto_o the_o lord_n and_o i_o can_v go_v back_o wherefore_o he_o vow_v not_o the_o virginitye_n of_o the_o maiden_n when_o as_o he_o ask_v not_o counsel_n of_o she_o to_o this_o also_o serve_v the_o weep_a of_o the_o virgin_n and_o therewithal_o the_o weep_v of_o the_o maiden_n herself_o for_o she_o desire_v that_o she_o may_v with_o her_o fellow_n bewail_v her_o virginitye_n but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o vow_n why_o shall_v she_o have_v lament_v it_o we_o use_v to_o bewail_v our_o sin_n &_o not_o our_o vow_n but_o the_o cause_n that_o move_v the_o rabbin_n kimhi_n &_o ben_n gerson_n be_v this_o because_o they_o will_v either_o allow_v or_o excuse_v the_o act_n of_o jiphtah_n but_o we_o must_v not_o labour_v for_o that_o not_o that_o we_o will_v willing_o uncover_v the_o defaulte_n of_o the_o father_n but_o because_o we_o see_v that_o thing_n which_o be_v not_o well_o do_v be_v not_o to_o be_v excuse_v moreover_o also_o this_o do_v not_o a_o little_a move_v i_o because_o the_o jew_n at_o this_o day_n have_v not_o this_o vow_n of_o virginity_n among_o they_o wherefore_o all_o these_o reason_n lead_v i_o to_o think_v that_o the_o daughter_n of_o jiphtah_n be_v in_o very_a deed_n immolate_a but_o if_o it_o be_v demand_v whither_o he_o sin_v or_o no_o in_o do_v this_o way_n the_o question_n answer_v two_o way_n it_o may_v be_v answer_v two_o manner_n of_o way_n first_o because_o as_o he_o be_v a_o man_n so_o moughte_v he_o seem_v as_o very_o many_o of_o the_o elder_n fel._n second_o it_o may_v
say_v that_o he_o do_v this_o by_o the_o impulsion_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n not_o as_o though_o god_n will_v have_v other_o man_n to_o imitate_v this_o act_n but_o that_o man_n may_v by_o it_o understand_v that_o christ_n shall_v dye_v for_o their_o salvation_n it_o be_v indifferent_a for_o every_o man_n to_o choose_v either_o of_o these_o answer_n but_o i_o think_v rather_o he_o fall_v now_o rest_v to_o confute_v the_o argument_n of_o the_o rabbin_n in_o that_o they_o say_v the_o maiden_n be_v not_o kill_v of_o her_o father_n but_o only_o punish_v with_o civil_a death_n namely_o that_o she_o shall_v live_v a_o part_n from_o the_o followship_n of_o man_n with_o out_o a_o husband_n and_o child_n it_o be_v not_o well_o say_v because_o it_o can_v not_o be_v prove_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o there_o be_v any_o such_o kind_n of_o vow_n in_o the_o old_a time_n i_o know_v that_o there_o be_v nazarite_n which_o abstain_v from_o wine_n and_o strong_a drink_n and_o

themselves_o both_o to_o prayer_n and_o godly_a meditation_n whereby_o they_o may_v return_v the_o better_o instruct_v to_o preach_v but_o i_o can_v in_o no_o case_n allow_v the_o perpetuitye_n of_o

so_o prone_a to_o choose_v unto_o themselves_o certain_a kind_n of_o life_n whereby_o they_o may_v easy_o fall_v into_o superstition_n therefore_o god_n will_v after_o this_o manner_n bridle_v they_o
