in Sosomene made three hundred Prayers to God a 1.2, but not any [ A] to the blessed Virgin; and his vsing of stones when he said his Prayers, is an onely example, not paralelled in Antiquitie. But singular examples are no rule, neither doe they alwayes prooue the thing done, to be lawfull: for Batheus b 1.3 a Monke, in the same Historie, vsed such abstinence, that wormes bred in his teeth. Pior c 1.4 another Monke refused, after fiftie yeres absence, to looke vpon his naturall sister. Ammonius d 1.5 being sollicited to bee a Bishop, cut off his owne eare, to make himselfe vncapable. These and the like examples, are not censured by the Historian [ B] reporting them, and yet it is more than probable, that it is not safe for others to imitate them. In like sort, Paulus his beades are a matter of singularitie, rehearsed by Sozomene, rather for noueltie than for imitation.
Romists also, haue yet a farther slight in their Checkstone trickes of beades, forsooth, to blesse and sanctifie them, by the [ C] touch of Relickes, or by the Popes benediction, that such trash may be sold the dearer by their pettie Chapmen.
