The third Pointe.
THirdly, * 1.1 wee are to consider sixe actes compre∣hended in the perfect mortification of luxurie, & in the soueraigne vertue of chastitie, when it hath at∣tained to its due perfection: and other sixe fauours, and rewardes that God graunteth for them. By rea∣son of which, chastitie in scripture is compared to the lilly, which hath sixe very white, and soft lea∣ues, within the which are sixe litle sprigs, with their litle buttons guilded, and kindled like fier, signifiyng by the leaues these sixe actes, or degrees of puritie; and by the sprigs, the sixe fauours, all founded vpon the golde, and fier of charitie, with the which this vertue is made most amiable, and the mortification most sweete: and to this ende wee are to ponder them.
