SECT. XLV.
ABout Priests marriages he thinks that the Church did justly make a Law * 1.1 against it, yet alloweth them a power to change it, Discus. p. 129, 130. [Quod si constet, aut nullos aut paucos inveniri in sacerdotibus Castos—Coelibes, omnino Ec∣clesiae est luxare legem gravi de causa quam non levi de causa fixerat So that it was not a light cause that fixed the Law that for∣bids Priests marriage: but it should yet be altered, when it is manifest (when Priests will confess it, or be naught in the open streets) that either none or few un∣married Priests are found Chaste. There is hope then of repealing this Law; but the Roman Church must be made a Holy Socie∣ty of perjured whoremongers first.
