TO this former tenent of theirs, may be added their not tolle∣rating of their Priests to marry, injoyning them single life; as more agreeable to their Orders, which they think is defiled and* 1.1 polluted by marriage; which opinion is quite contrary to the Apostles doctrine, who calleth it the doctrine of Devills to forbid marriage, 1 Tim. 4. 1. 3. and also giveth liberty to every man to avoyd fornication, to have his wife, 1. Cor. 7. 2. As also that Marriage is honourable amongst all men, Heb. 13. 4. so that this practise of theirs doth not only contradict the Apostles doctrine, but giveth occasion to Adultery, Fornication, and other uncleane lusts, by their restraining the remedy against these inormities, which is, lawfull and honest Marriage, and so they are apparent transgressors of the Commandement, giving themselves over to all filthinesse; which hypocrisie, and dissemulation of theirs, was notably discovered in the suppression of their uncleane Cages and Cells, here in England there being many hundred sculls of In∣fants, found in feying of the Moats which did compasse their re∣ligious buildings, which without doubt was begotten by meanes of their restraint afore mentioned.
