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, 1qua sordium colluvie, qua peste non sunt corrupti, non foedati in Ecclesia Sancta Dei, & Populus, & Sacerdos? A Sanctuario Dei incipite, patres, si ullus jam pudor, si ulla pudicitia, &c. Dicunt in Cord impio, & ore impuro, Nō est Deus: With what Monsters of filthiness, with what villainy, ⟨p. 368⟩with what Pestilence are they not corrupted, and defiled in the Church of God, both the People, and the Priest? My Lords, begin even with the Sanctuary of God: if there be any shame, if there be any honest Life. They say with wicked haste, and filthy mouth, There is no God.
