Likewise Vincentius, 1and Petrus de Natalibus, and others your Writers, and Recorders of Fables, could have told you, that Thecla sometime addressed her self in Mans apparel,2 and, had she not been forbidden by S. Paul, would have followed him in company, as a Man. Ravisius Textor writeth the like of one Marina, that dissembling, what she was, lived many years in an Abby as a Monk. The like he writeth of Lasthenia, Axiothea, and others, that being Women, came into the School in Mans apparel, to hear Plato. The like writeth your own Fabulare Simeon Metaphrastes of Eugenia. And, if ye lack other Authorities of trust, and credit, One of your own Companions of Louvain avoucheth the same of Melania, and Papula. And yet, I think,3 he was not bewitched, as you say, nor thoroughly bereft of his wits.
