 part of the meal, and to pray God there- 

 with [and to repeat] "lead us not into 

 temptation," and Detis in adiutorhim as 

 far as festina. 



§ 59. Persons whose desires are ex- 

 5 cited, it may be through hearing con- 

 fessions, or merely with meditating, or 

 through youth, need strict abstinence to 

 subdue them, because it is excess of 

 blood in their body that is the cause. 

 Afterwards, when the blood fails, then 

 lust and desire fail. 



10 § 60. Molaise of Daiminis had a sister 

 named Copar. IS'owdesire lay heavy upon 

 the girl, for it is a third part as strong 

 again in women as in men. Then he 

 regulates her portion and her pittance 



15 for a year : that is, a measured pittance. 

 On that day year she came to him, and 

 confessed that her desire still persisted, 

 liow he was busy sewing before her. 

 Then he thrust the needle thrice into 



20 her palm, and three streams of blood 

 flowed from her hand. Then said he, 

 "No wonder," said he, "if it is hard 

 for the body, wherein are these strong 

 currents, to contain itself." Then he 



25 diminished her meals a second time. 

 She was on that ration for a year, and 

 her desire still persisted. So after 

 that time he thrusts the needle into 

 her hand thrice, and three streams of 



30 blood flowed from it. So he reduced 

 her meals again for a year, and at the 

 end of that time he thrust the needle 

 [again into her hand]. This time, how- 

 ever, not a drop of blood came out of 

 her. Then he said to her : " In future," 

 said he, " keep on this pittance until 

 thy death."
