S. Hierome saith, 1Si bonum est, mulierem non tangere, malum est ergo tangere. Nihil enim Bono contrarium est, nisi Malum: If it be good for a man not to touch his wife, then is it evil to touch his wife. For there is nothing contrary to Good, but Evil. Again he saith, Quàm diu impleo Mariti officium, non impleo Christiani: As long, as I do the duty of a Husband, I do not the duty of a Christian man. Againe, Non negamus Viduas, non negamus Maritatas Sanctas Mulieres inueniri. Sed quae Uxores esse desierint:2 quae in ipsa necessitate Coniugij Virginum imitentur castitatem: We deny not, but Widows, and married women may be Holy. But such as have left, and forsaken wives duties, and in the very necessity of Matrimony do counterfeit the Chastity, that is in Maidens.
