Namque et me moresque meos quanto prior ipso me melius nosses, in me prodendo probasti, quem maiora meis audentem viribus ante prospiciens melius per te mihi consuluisti conatus inhibendo meos nimis alta petentes, auderem ut monachi perfecto vivere ritu, cum mihi plena domus caris affectibus esset, qui sibi servari consuetam indicere curam posse viderentur, filii, mater socrus, uxor cum grege non minimo famularum quippe suarum, quem totum pariter peregrinae exponere terrae nec ratio aut pietas mens aut religiosa sinebat.
For how much better than I myself thou didst know me and my character thou didst prove in preventing me when, foreseeing that I was venturing on a task beyond my strength, thou of thyself didst take better measure for me by thwarting my designs which aimed too high in venturing to live after the perfect pattern of a monk, though my home was full of dear relatives who seemed to have the right to claim for themselves continuance of my wonted care'sons, mother, wifes mother, wife, with the considerable company of their attendants: for to expose all these together to the strangeness of a foreign land neither reason, nor affection, nor religious feeling would allow.
