Some women were seen from a distance, of whom it was said that in the world they had lived as virgins and had shunned matrimony for the sake of chastity, saying that marriages were unchaste in themselves, and comparing them with lawful fornication. It was said that even the majority of them were from nunneries, professing chastity for the sake of heaven or eternal salvation. They appeared from a distance as naked, because chastity and innocence are represented in the spiritual world by nakedness, which is also a mark of a blameless life and one free from fornication. But it was noticed that after death they spent their time in hiding far off with adulterous men, taking great care not to be seen. But when they were plainly caught, then with a mocking laugh they tear themselves away and run. There was then felt the ardour of the men who desired them as wives, because they thought them more chaste and harmless than the rest. It was said that they were unusually obscene and took delight in unspeakable lasciviousness. They were women who privately had had the most wanton thoughts.
