Namque prudentiam tuam facillime diiudicare reor, quod aptius multo sit, eius quem corde toto abhominaris, cuiusque horrendam faciem videre refugis, habitum vultus a tuo vultu Deo iam dicato separare; et e contra, eius quem apud Deum habere patronum quaeris, sicut facta vel monita cupis sequi, sic etiam morem habitus te imitari condeceat.
For I think your wisdom do very easily judge it much more convenient to make division between your countenance (now dedicated to God) and the fashion of his countenance, whom you abhor with all your heart and whose abominable face you shun the sight of; and contrariwise that, as you desire to follow his steps and counsel, whom you look to have as advocate with God, so also it seemeth you to copy the outward fashion that he used.
