So S. Ambrose, when he had said, If she have a mind to marry, she committeth Adultery, she is made the Handmaid of Death, He addeth further, as of a greater evil, 1Si hoc ita est, quid de illa dicendum est, quae occulta, & fortiva turpitudine constupratur, & fingit, se esse, quod non est? Bis Adultera est: This beinge so, what then shall we say of her, that is defiled with secrete, and privy filthiness: and feigneth her self to be, that in deed she is not? She is twice an Aduoutresse. Here S. Ambrose calleth your painted Virginity Double Adultery. So S. Chrysostom, Virginitas ista cum Viris plùs ab omnibus arguitur,2 quàm stuprum ipsum: This Virginitie of Women amongst men, is more reproved of all men, then Fornication it self.
