Verily, the same S. Augustine, being afterward fully instructed, and Christened, saith thus, 1Istam in usu scortatorum terrena Civitas licitam fecit turpitudinem: The worldly City (not y• Church of God) hath made this filthiness of harlots to be lawful. And Ludovicus Vives, writing upon y• same, saith, Satis apertè Augustinus •estatur, 2lure Civili veteri Romano multa esse permissa, quae sint contra•ia Legibus Divinis. Hoc isti volunt, qui, dum Gentilitatem coniungere, & coaptare Christianismo laborant, corrupto utroque, & alterius impatiente, nec Gentilitatem, nec Christianismum retinent: S. Augustine plainly witnesseth, that by the old Civil Romaine (and Heathen) Law, many things were suffered, which were contrary to the Laws of God. This thing will not these men allow, who while they study (as you, M. Harding, do) to join Heathennesse, and Christianity both together, both being corrupted, and the one not standing with the other, keep now neither Heathennesse, nor Christianity.
