i_o think_v that_o even_o i_o myself_o have_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o all_o these_o place_n the_o apostle_n commend_n the_o love_n of_o chastity_n and_o virginity_n even_o in_o the_o world_n

that_o virtue_n be_v more_o noble_a and_o profitable_a and_o also_o because_o there_o may_v be_v many_o poor_a folk_n which_o have_v not_o good_n and_o possession_n to_o sell_v or_o if_o they_o have_v yet_o perhaps_o can_v not_o sell_v they_o all_o which_o notwithstanding_o may_v profess_v chastity_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o many_o oblige_v themselves_o by_o vow_n
