Description

Discovered in [John Lane's ebook collection](http://www.strobertbellarmine.net/books/).This is a good companion to [Fr. Unger's book on the single life](https://isidore.co/calibre/browse/book/5886).The spelled is archaic, but, thankfully, there are no long S's, ſ (at least not in the OCRed, EPUB version).Arch-heretic Jovinian is spelled "Iouvinian". [St. Jerome](https://isidore.co/calibre/#panel=book_details&book_id=6991) is spelled "Hierom".The [Latin-esque abbreviations](https://isidore.co/calibre/#panel=book_details&book_id=6325) are neat, e.g., "cōmend" = commend, "cōcern" = concern, etc.It was translated for [Anne Vaux](http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-28159) (✝1637), a famous English recusant thought to have been associated with the [Gunpowder Plot](http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-92749) (cf. [Guy Fawkes](http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/9780198614128.001.0001/odnb-9780198614128-e-9230)).
