[ a] i. other vertues, whiche as waityng maides folow virginitie, whiche in deede doe beautifie virginitie, and without the which virginitie her self either is as deade, either is scarce cleanlie. For herein is virginitie certainly described, that it bee holie bothe in bodie and spirite, that it cleane vnto God without any separati∣on. Suche as these bee, qui ita humiliter de se sentiant, vt supra caeteros se non extollant, that thinke so lowlie of theim selues, that thei extolle not them selues aboue others: for that thei bee, docti diuinitùs vt diligant inuicem, taught of God to loue one an other: Et quia charitas dei diffusa est in cordibus eorum per [ b] spiritum sanctum, qui datus est illis, and because the loue of God is powred into their hartes through the holy Ghoste, whiche is geuen to theim, thei néede no other impulsor to moue theim, no other sollicitour to insist vpon theim, to doe good in the tourne of their tyme.

Paule propheceth, should come in the latter daies, of whose conditions I shall reporte you a parte. Homines amantes sui, auari, fastuosi, superbi, maledici, ingrati, carentes affectu, calum∣niatores, intemperantes, immites, proditores, praecipites, inflati, habentes formam pietatis, sed qui vim eius abnegarint. &c. Men that shall stande highly in their owne conceipt, couetous, greate bosters, proude in them selues, with the hurte and contempte of [ d] other, cursed speakers and reporters, vnkinde and vnthankfull to them that haue doen them good, without affection of humani∣tie, quarellers and promoters, ri••tous in all intemperauncie, vnpitifull, more like furious beastes then men, betraiers of their frendes, rashe, doyng all thynges on head, blowen vp with per∣swasion of vanitie, pretendyng holinesse and good liuyng, but
