Also women ” shall bear babes with four feet: some shall bear spirits only, and some’ shall bear their progeny with unclean spirits. Others [there] shall [be who] practise divination in the womb, and shall speak with familiar spirits; and there shall be many other horrible signs.” z.

If” any woman whatsoever suffer violence from a man, let the deacon accurately investigate if she be faithful’ and have truly suffered violence; if he who treated her with violence was not her lover.

Let the deacon catechise those who repent and bring them to the presbyters or to the bishop that they may be catechised and taught knowledge.
