But this Order, you say, was taken, for that, having the use of Wedlock we cannot Pray. And to that end ye allege the Authority of S. Paul: Where also ye might have alleged the names and sayings of sundry Fathers.1 Origen saith, The Holy Ghost in time of Copulation forsaketh a man, yea although he were the Prophet of God. An other saith, Virginitas Sola potest animas hominum praesentare Deo: Onely Virginitie is able to present the Soul of man unto God. S. Hierome saith. Quotiescunque uxori debitum reddo, orare non possum: As often as I do my duty to my wife, I cannot Pray. And to this purpose Pope Siricius undiscretely, & fondly abuseth the Holy Word of God.2 Thus he saithe, Qui in Carne sunt, Deo placere non possunt: They that be in the Pleashe, cannot please God.
