De habitu virginum 12
-
Ornamentorum ac vestium insignia et lenocinia formarum non nisi prostitutis et inpudicis feminis congruunt et nullarum fere pretiosior cultus est quam quarum pudor vilis est. sic in scripturis sanctis, quibus nos instrui Dominus voluit et moneri, [*] [*] describitur civitas meretrix compta pulchrius et ornata et cum ornamentis suis ac propter ipsa potius ornamenta peritura. et venit, inquit, unus ex septem angelis habentibus phialas et adgressus est me dicens: veni, ostendam tibi damnationem meretricis magnae sedentis super aquas multas, cum qua fornicati sunt reges terrae. et duxit me in spiritu et vidi mulierem sedentem super bestiam: et mulier illa amicta erat pallium purpureum et coccineum et adornata erat auro et lapidibus pretiosis et margaritis, tenens poculum aureum in manu sua plenum exsecrationum et inmunditiae et fornicationis totius terrae. fugiant castae virgines et pudicae incestarum cultus, habitus inpudicarum, lupanarum insignia, ornamenta meretricum.
