Of Chastity.
THose Women that are Covetous of Gain, or Ambitious of Titles of Honour, or Amorous of Nature, or have been bred by ill Examples, are easily perswaded to loose and unchast Actions; But those Women that consider the Worth and Ho∣nour that Chastity brings to themselves, and their Families, are never corrupted; for they account it more Honour to dye a Martyr to Chastity, than to be Empress of the whole World by Wantonness: But Nature gives a Chast Mind, and a Virtuous Education, an Honest Life; But Women that are Incontinent are the most foulest and falsest Creatures of all Natures Works; But those that are Continent, are like what we imagine the nature of Angels to be, that is, Incorruptible.
