 70 For lo what saith Seneca in this mater He saith thus .  
 Though I wyste that neyther god ne man shold neuer  
 knowe it / yet wold I haue desdaygn for to do synne / .  
 71 And the same Seneca saith I am born to gretter thinges  
 than to be thralle to my body / 72 More thralle may no man  
 ne woman make of his body than yeue his body to synne.  
 73 And were it the fowlest chorle or the fowwst woman that  
 liueth and lest of valew / yet he is charged and most foul  
 & most in seruitude 74 euer fro the hyer degre that a man falleth

 goodnes hath sette in high astate or yeue hym strength of  
 body / beaute / prosperyte / 80 and bought hym fro the deth with  
 his herte blood / that they so vnkyndely agaynst his gen-  
 tylnes quyten hym so vilonsly to slaughter of her owen  
 sowlis . 81 O good god ye women that been of grete beaute  
 remembre you on the Prouerbe of Salamon / he saith He  
 82 lykneth a fair woman that is a fool of her body to a rynge  
 of gold that is worn in the groyn of a Sowe . 83 For right  
 as a sowe wroteth in euery ordure / so wroteth she her beaute  
 in stynkyng ordure of synne / . 84 The thirde cause That
