	Vives wrote this for Catherine of Aragon (first wife of Henry VIII of England) as a guide for the education of noble Christian women.
	Turn her which way she will, she shall find all things sorrowful and heavy, wailing and mourning, and angry and displeasureful. What sorrow will her kinfolks make, when every one shall think themselves dishonored by the shame of that maid? What mourning, what tears, ..that weeping of the father and mother and bringers up. Dost thou quite them with this pleasure for so much care and labor? Is this the reward of thy bringing up? !that cursing will there be of her acquaintance. What mocking and babbling of those maids, that envied her before. What a loathing and abhorring of those that loved her. What flying of her company when every mother will !seer not only their daughters but also their sons from the infection of such an unthrifty maid. And wooers also, if she had any, all flee away from her. . . . I rehearse the hate and anger of folks for I know that many fathers have cut the throats of their daughters, brethren oil their sisters, and kinsmen of their kinswomen.
