Neither did all Heretics Condemn Marriage in one sort. For some of them condemned it Generally, and thoroughly, and altogether: Somme others of them Condemned it only in a few, even as M. Harding, and his Fellows do. For thus S. Augustine writeth of the Heretics named the Manichees, Auditores qui appellantur apud eos, 1& Carnibus vescuntur, & agros colunt, &, si voluerint, Uxores habent: Quorum nihil faciunt illi, qui vocantur Electi: They, that among them be called, Hearers, do both eat Pleashe, and till the ground, and Marry Wives too, if they list. But no such thing may they do, that be called Electi. The Auditors, or Hearers among the Manichees were as the lay people: The Electi, or Chosen, were as the Clergy. These Heretics the Manichees Condemned Marriage, not generally in all sorts, and degrees of men: but only, as M. Harding doth, in a few. Yet were they Heretics notwithstanding, and their Doctrine was the Doctrine of Devils.
