page 419 note b ylespilles, as it is in C, is probably the true reading, from igil, A.-S. a hedge-hog, and pile, i.e. poil, Fr. hair, fur. We learn from the following passage that the skin of the hedge-hog was used as an instrument of discipline:—

page 421 note a Strapples, the legs of the drawers?
page 421 note b Anchoresses err in their head-dress no less than ladies. They say that it belongs naturally to a woman to wear a wimple. Nay: the Holy Scriptures neither had, nor do they speak of wimple; but of coverings for the head. The apostle saith to the Corinthians, “A woman shall cover her head.” Cover, he saith, not wimple. She shall cover her shame as a sinful daughter of Eve, in memory of the sin that first hurt us all; and not convert the covering into finery and pride. Again St. Paul desires further that a woman cover her face in church, lest evil thoughts should arise merely from seeing her, and this is, “because of the angels.” Why, then, dost thou, an anchoress, although thou art wimpled, shew thy face in sight of men? Take heed. Thou seest men, St. Paul saith. But if any thing conceal thy face from men's sight—be it a wall, be it the parlour window-cloth,—a recluse may well dispense with other wimpling.
page 422 note c Observe that none of all these things is commanded or forbidden; for they are all of the external rule, which is of little consequence. For when the inward is well kept, as I sai d at first, and that may be altered wherever need or any reason require it, so as that i t may, as a domestic, best serve the lady rule.
