They vvil not marry: and therefore they marry not, because they cannot without rebuke, Yet better were it for them to marry, then to burn, that is to say, then with the flame of their Concupiscence in their own Conscience to be wasted. They are sorry ⟨p. 169⟩of their Profession: And yet it grieveth them to Confess. &c.2
