Hereof the Ancient Father Origen began to complain so long ago in his time: 1Non solùm, quae docent, non faciunt, sed etiam crudeliter, & sine misericordia iniungunt alijs maiora virtute ipsorum, non habentes rationem Virium uniuscuiusque: ut, qui prohibent nubere, & ab eo, quod expedit, ad immoderatam munditiem compellunt: Not only they do not, that they teach, but also cruelly, and without mercy they command others, to do, that they be not able, not considering, or weighing each mans strength. Such be they, that forbid men to marry: and from that thing, that is lawful, drive, and force men to an immoderate kind of Cleanness. ⟨p. 168⟩S. Hierome saithe, 2Si quis consideret Virginem suam,3 id est, Carnem suam,4 lascivire, & ebullire in libidinem, nec refraenare se potest, duplex illi incumbit necessitas, aut capiendae coniugis, aut ruendi: If any man consider that his own Virgin, that is to say, his own Flesh, groweth proud, and boileth unto lust, and cannot stay it, there is laid upon him a double necessity, either to take a wife, or to fall.

Sutche be they, that forbidde menne to marrie: and from that thinge, that is lavvful, driue, and force menne to an immoderate kinde of Cleanenesse. ⟨p. 168⟩S. Hierome saithe,
