Chapter 45OrdV.1.45
Disciplina:
Simple Devotion to the King of Kings
Disciplina declares her love for innocent conduct and her constant, devoted gaze toward the supreme King.
I'm a lover of simple conduct who knows nothing shameful; but I always look toward the King of kings and embrace him in the highest honor.✦
Read the original Latin
Ego sum amatrix simplicium morum qui turpia opera nesciunt; sed semper in regum regem aspicio et amplector eum in honore altissimo.
