Beschrijving
Sleeping with God’s Daughters. For his penance, a man is required to abstain for four weeks from eating flesh and drinking liquor, not to sleep in a feather bed, and to abstain from sexual relations with women.
He goes to a convent where he is provided with meat and wine, and where he sleeps on a bed of down with the nuns. When he tells his confessor about this, the clergyman is angry at the man for sleeeping with the daughters of God. The penitent replies that now that he is the brother-in-law of Jesus, he does not need a confessor any more [J1161.5].
