Somewhat it must needs be, 1that in your Late Council of Basil, enforced the Bishops there to Decree, that Fornication should be Sin. Erasmus, a man of Singular Learning, and Judgement saith, *Bona pars eorum, quos vulgus integros, & incorruptos appellat, Simplicem Fornicationem, & moderatū voluptatis usum, ut leve commissum, neutiquam refugiunt: * A great many of them, whom the common sort taketh for good, and godly Men, not a white abhor Simple Fornication, and a sober use of pleasure, reckoning it to be but a little petite fault. So saithe Jacobus De Valentia, Tam Judaei, quàm Saraceni, & mali Christiani, ut detestabilem vitam suam excusent, & defendant, asserunt, Fornicationem Simplicem esse licitam: As well Jews, and Saracens, as also il Christian Men, to the intent to excuse, and defend their wicked life, say, that Simple Fornication may be Lawfully used.
