Quod obediencia prefertur castitati et introducit ad gloriam.
The Supremacy of Obedience
The text reassures the reader that obedience is the highest virtue, surpassing even the ascetic merits of virginity and widowhood.
What are you afraid of? Even if you were to eat ten times a day out of obedience, it won't be counted against you as a sin. For while virginity earns a crown and widowhood draws one closer to God, obedience is what leads everyone to glory.
Read the original Latin
"Quid times? Eciam si decies comederes in die propter obedienciam, non tibi imputabitur in peccatum. Nam virginitas meretur coronam, viduitas appropinquat Deo sed obediencia omnes introducit ad gloriam."
