[Pvdicicia]
PVDICICIA is hire suster, hali maiden of þanke, and clane of alle felðes. Ðat seið sanctus Augustinus: 'Gif maiden hafð þese hali mihte on hire þanke, þeih hie wurðe hire unðankes forleiȝen, hie is to-foren gode naþelas maiden'; and eft: 'H[i]e ðe is clane maiden on likame, and ðese mihte ne hafð on hire ȝeþanke, ac wolde þat hie ne mai, hie nis naht maiden to-foren gode.' Pudicicia is ðe hlutter maidenhad of þe þanke, alswa castitas is þe clannesse of ðe likame.
