Description

ch. 1 is on early Church fathers' views of virginity; he cites Sts. Gregory of Nyssa, Methodius, Jerome, Augustine, Ambrose, et al.ch. 3 (PDF pp. 131-75) are on [*All's Well that Ends Well* 's Parolles's and Helena's dialogue on virginity](https://opensourceshakespeare.org/views/plays/play_view.php?WorkID=allswell&Act=1&Scene=1&Scope=scene&LineHighlight=113#113), Shakespeare's most extensive treatment of the topic (no surprise that major Shakespeare critics think this is his worst play; they don't understand the value of virginity)
