Touching that Pope Pius was commonly wont to say, As Marriage was taken away from Priests upon great Considerations, even so now upon other greater considerations it were to be restored to them again, M. Harding, ⟨p. 187⟩after much other needless talk, 1saith thus: Why did not he, or you in his stead show us, what, and how Substantial considerations they be?

Good Christian Reader, loth I am to disclose, and publish any thing, that may sound to the shame of any one man: much less, to the open shame of so great a number. But M. Harding over heavily presseth us with his importunity, and requireth us upon our credit to show these causes. Therefore if the report hereof shall seem unpleasant, the fault is M. Hardinges: It is not mine. I will only show forth simply, & truly, that I find written in sundry, both of the Ancient learned Fathers, and also in others of his own side: Which nevertheless, had not M. Harding been, might much better have been concealed.
