Upon the Legantine Constitutions of Otho Bonus, ye may find these words noted in the Gloss,1 Nunquid compelli potest Clericus concubinam abiurare? Videtur, quòd non. Resolutio, Si Clericus duxit Uxorem de facto, eo casu juramentum exigitur: Whether may a Priest be forced to fore swear his Concubine? It seemeth, he may not.

Now, for as much, as ye say, ye are no Angels, and your infirmities ought to be considered, it shall not be amiss, shortly to see, what your own friends have thought of these infirmities. And here, to pass over other Authorities, your own Doctor the Bishop of Bitonto, being present at your Late Chapter at Trident, of your whole Single Life, which ye call Chastity, pronounceth thus: Quibus turpitudinum monstris,
