Vnto the second question.

IN my iudgement, it is not profita∣ble for the common weale, that bi∣cause of the wantonnesse or lasciui∣ousnesse of yoong maids, the lawe of marrieng hir, whome a man hath defiled, should be abrogated. For vnlesse that men should be restreined from fornications, through the feare of this punishment; they would be bold e∣uerie where to pollute those which are wanton and dishonest: wherevpon filthinesse and disho∣nestie would more & more abound in the citie. I would neuer therefore be an authour to the diminishing of the punishment of euill disposed persons, least a greater window be opened to sinne. Wherefore in my opinion, it should be the ministers part to warne magistrates faithful∣lie, that (as much as is possible) they should by the law rather bridle sin, than set it at libertie.
