Nevertheless, the Wise, and Godly have evermore found fault with the Ecclesiastical Bravery of your Romaine Clergy. 1S. Bernard saithe, Inde est, quem quotidiè ides, Meretriceus Nitor: Histrionicus habitus: Regius Apparatus. Inde Aurum in Frenis, in Sellis, in Calcaribus: Therehence cometh their Whoorelike Fineness: their Players Weed: their Princely Apparel. Therehence cometh their Gould in their Bridles, in their Saddles, and in their Spurs. Again he saith, Incedunt nitidi, & ornati, circumamicti varietatibus, tanquam Sponsa procedens de thalamo suo. Nonnè si quempiam talium eminùs procedentem aspexeris, Sponsam potids putabis, quàm Sponsae Custodem? They go trimly, and finely in their colours, as if a Spouse should come from her Chamber. If thou shouldest suddenly see one of them letting a far of, wouldest thou not rather think, it were a Spouse, then the keeper of the Spouse?

Therehence commeth their Goulde in theire Bridles, in their Saddels, and in theire Spurres. Againe he saithe, Incedunt nitidi, & ornati, circumamicti varietatibus, tanquam Sponsa procedens de thalamo suo. Nonnè si quempiam talium eminùs procedentem aspexeris, Spōsam potids putabis, quàm Sponsae Custodem? They goe trimmely, and finely in their coloures, as if a Spouse shoulde comme from her Chamber. If thou shouldest suddainely see one of them lettinge a farre of, wouldest thou not rather thinke, it were a Spouse, then the keeper of the Spouse?
