Robert Holcote saith, 1Sacerdotes moderni sunt Daemones Incubi per luxuriam, & Sacerdotes Priapi, vel Beelphegor, & Angeli Abyssi: The Priests of our time by ⟨p. 189⟩their Lechery, are like the Sprites called Incubi, the Priests of Priap••, or Beelphegor, and the Angels of the pit of Hell.

Hulderichus in Old times the Bishop of Augusta in Germany, 1wrote sharply hereof against Pope Nicolas in this wise: Decreta tua super Clericorum continentia à discretion inueni aliena: Multos confilij tui assentatores hominibus, non Deo, sub falsa specie continentiae placer volentes, graviora vides committere: I have found, thy Decrees, touching the Single life of Priests, to be void of discretion. Thou seest, that many followers of thy counsel, willing under • feigned colour of Continent life, rather to please Man, then God, commit heinous acts. In the end be concludeth thus, Qua nosti discretionis disciplina, Pharisaicam ab Ovili Dei extirpa Doctrinam: By such discipline of discretion, as you know best, root this Pharisaical Doctrine out of God's Fold.
