Help Please? Prisoner of Love (Berners' translation)

[milktea]

Hello, this is my first post, so please (gently) let me know if I make any bbs faux pas and I'll make sure not to do it again.

I am currently reading a fascimile of Berners' 1549 translation of Diego de San Pedro's Prison of Love, and I'm stuck on one of the passages where Laureola replies to the author.

The sentence starts at the bottom of the first page.

"Therefore in your words..."

Here is a full shot of the second page (if context will help)
Page 2: http://www.m5b.org/images/cda_02.png

I can't read the key word on page two.

"for your demand is [cannot read]..."

Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is really bugging me!

Thanks a bunch and have a nice day.

Is it 'conferme the to reason', but then I cannot read the last word. Does it start with a 'b'? A 'v' it cannot be because of 'have' later in the text. I think it ends in 'inst'.

I'm sorry. For the rest I'm through.

Interesting, though. :)

OMG I LOVE YOU! Thank you soooooooo much! I didn't think to read it backwards from the last letters to the first. I was so stuck on the first letter that I guess I mentally blocked out the other letters.

It's like those 3D pictures or optical illusions which when you are finally able to see what you are supposed to see, you can only marvel at how you at first you couldn't see it for the life of you.

Thanks to your post, I see now that the word is "uniust"

"Therefore in your words, conform yourself to reason, for your demand is UNJUST."

Honestly, I registered here for the sole reason of getting this answered, but I will try to stick around as this is an interesting forum ^_^;;
