Nam et domunculae quae ad orandum vel legendum factae erant, nunc in commessationum, potationum, fabulationum, et ceterarum sunt inlecebrarum cubilia conversae; virgines quoque Deo dictae, contempta reverentia suae professionis, quotiescumque vacant, texendis subtilioribus indumentis operam dant quibus aut seipsas ad vicem sponsarum in periculum sui status adornent, aut externorum sibi virorum amicitiam comparent.
For the little houses too that were made to pray or read in are now turned into chambers of eating, drinking, talking and all other enticements; the virgins also vowed unto God, despising the regard due to their profession, as often as they have leisure, do busy themselves in weaving fine garments wherewith they may set themselves forth like brides to the danger of their estate, or else to get themselves the love of strange men abroad.
