AMONG the sublime customs of the anchorites which by God's help have
been set forth although in plain and unadorned style, the course of our
narration compels us to insert and find a place for something, which may
seem so to speak to cause a blemish on a fair body: although I have no
doubt that by it no small instruction on the image of Almighty God of which
we read in Genesis will be conferred on some of the simpler sort,
especially when the grounds are considered of a doctrine so important that
men cannot be ignorant of it without terrible blasphemy and serious harm to
the Catholic faith.
