But after that Pope Hildebrand by Cruelty, and Tyranny had fully established the matter, and brought it to perfection, Aventinus saith, Many godly learned men utterly forsook the Ministerie, 1Et Falsi Prophetae, Falsi Apostoli, Falsi Sacerdotes emerserunt, qui simulata Religione populum deceperunt. Maxima pars sub honesto nomine Castimoniae Stupra, Incestus, Adulteria, passim, & impunè committunt: False Prophets, False Apostles, and False Priests sprang up: which under a counterfeit Religion deceived the people. The most part of them, under the honest name of Chastity, commit whoredom, Adultery, Incest, commonly, and without punishment.

S. Bernard saith, 1Episcopi, & Sacerdotes huius temporis Castitatis Sanctimoniam, sine qua nemo videbit Deum, tam in Corde, quàm in Corpore, quomodo' student obseruare? Traditi in reprobum sensum, faciunt, quae non conueniunt. Quae enim in occulto fiunt ab Episcopis, turpe est dicere: The Bishops, and Priests of this time, how do they endeavour to keep either in heart, or in body the Holiness of Chastity, without which no man shall see God? They are given over into a reprobate mind, and do those things, that are not convenient. For it were shame to utter, what these Bishops do in Secrete.
