The Pope sayeth all monks / fryers / and nuns shall vow and swear chastity be it given them or not / my priests also shall not be wedded / but as for to keep whores and ravish other mens / daughters and wives / shall be dispensed with all. I will see no such things / for my Bishops have yearly great money by it like as bawds be wont to have.
