I say first that S. Paul doth here shew the necessity of mar∣riage, in that he disswadeth not from abstinence saue onely for praier sake. I say secondly, that priests must not euer be occu∣pied in prayer no more then lay men: their nature and condi∣on, requireth conuenient recreation.

I say thirdly, that ye apostle speaketh not here of euery kind [ 3] of praier, but of extraordinary praier, appointed for vrgent ex∣traordinary causes: which kinde of praiers, must alwaies haue fasting ioyned with them, as the apostle doth expressely say: and so if the papistes will needes haue the apostle to speake of vsuall and daily praier, then must their priestes vsually and dai∣ly fast;* 1.2 which I weene their fatted headed moonkes will neuer agree vnto, or at least neuer put in practise. Yea they must con∣tinually absteine from wine, for so the law required.
