Abbas Panormitane, after long disputation had touching this matter, thus saith his Judgement in the end: Conclude ergo ex omnibus premissis, quòd Meretrix turpiter non recipit dona, vel promissionem: & quòd potest de illis ad libitum disponere: Of all these premisses conclude you thus, That a Harlot may receive rewards, or promises, without infamy, or shame (of the Law): and that of the same she may dispose at her pleasure. Therefore, M. Harding, this tale would have been better studied. For this punishment, that ye have here imagined, by the Judgement of the Learned, is no punishment.
