Cardinal Caictanus saithe, 1Nec ratione, nec authoritate probari potest, quòd, absolutè loquendo, Sacerdos peccet contrahendo Matrimonium. Nam nec Ordo, in quantum Ordo, nec Ordo, in quantum Sacer, est impeditivus Matrimonij. Siquidem Sacerdotium non dirimit Matrimonium contractum, sive antè, sive pòst: seclusis omnibus Legibus Ecclesiasticis: stando tantùm ijs, quae habemus à Christo, & Apostolis: It cannot be proved, neither by reason, nor by Authority, speaking absolutely, that a Priest sinneth in marrying a wife. For neither the Order of Priesthood, in that it is Order, nor the same Order, in that it is Holy, is any hinderance to Matrimony. For Priesthood breaketh not Marriage, whether it be contracted before Priesthood, or afterward: setting all Ecclesiastical Laws apart, and standing only unto those things, that we have of Christ, and his Apostles.
