Mater Dei confortat sponsam ad visitandum sanctuaria Rome dicens, quod maiores sunt ibi indulgencie, quam homines credunt. Quas sancti impetrauerunt suis precibus et proprio sanguine.
The Call to Rome
The Mother of God comforts the bride, assuring her of the immense spiritual value and indulgences found in the holy sites of Rome.
The Mother says to the bride, "Why are you so troubled, daughter?" She replied, "Because, my Lady, I am not visiting the holy places in Rome." The Mother said, "You are permitted to visit these places with humility and devout reverence, because in this Rome there are greater indulgences than people can imagine." The saints of God earned these through their own glorious blood and their prayers to my Son.
Faithfulness in Duty
The Mother instructs the bride to balance her spiritual aspirations with her existing obligations of study and obedience.
However, daughter, don't let this cause you to abandon your grammar studies, nor the holy obedience you owe your spiritual father.

Mater loquitur sponse: "Cur sic turbaris, filia?" Respondit illa: "Quia, domina, non visito loca ista sancta, que sunt in Roma."
Et mater: "Permittitur", inquit, "tibi visitare loca ista cum humilitate et deuota reuerencia, quia in hac Roma maiores sunt indulgencie, quam homines credere possunt. Quas sancti Dei glorioso sanguine suo et precibus a filio meo impetrare promeruerunt.
Verumptamen, filia, non dimittas propter hoc scolas tuas in gramatica nec patris spiritualis tui tam sanctam obedienciam."
