BEtweene (a) shame and reason] for shame saith that the very violation of the body is to bee called euill; but Reason denyes it. (b) Nor care we] This we will speake as a comforting vnto our Christian women that endured these violences. (c) In the minde] The Platonists place the soule and hir powers in the head, as in a Tower, sitting there, as the commander of our actions, and the ouer-seer of our labours, as Claudian saith. (d) Without sinne,] for if wee can auoyde it without sinne, we ought to endeuour this auoydance with all our powers.
