Boniface, Archbishop of Mentz, a Martyr, an English man, wrote a Letter to King Ethelbert, and rebuked him for abstaining from Marriage, that he might live in luxuriousness with Nuns, and that, he heard the chief of hi• Kingdom, by his example, forsook their wives, and lived in adultery with Nuns; whereby appeareth the great disorder of life that always hath been in these Religious houses of Nuns, whose vow of coacted chastity hath never been good to Church or Common-wealth; and this Boniface, and others were most to blame, for that they g•u• occasion thereof, by maintaining such superstitious orders of lascivious Nuns, and other religious, restraining them from lawful Marriage. For we find of him in Stories, that, he being the Popes Legate, builded Monasteries, Canonized Saints▪ commanded Relics to be worshipped, permitted religious Fathers to carry about Nuns with them a preaching; and he founded the great Monastery of F•loa in Germany▪ of English Monks, in which, no woman might enter, but only Leba and Sec•a two English Nuns, and by him Childericus, king of France was deposed, and Pipinus▪ the betrayer of his master, made king. From this Boniface proceeded that detestable doctrine; that in case the Pope lived most filthily, and neglected himself, and all Christianity, and led innumerable Souls with him to Hell▪ yet ought no man to rebuke him, because he hath power to judge all men, and ought to be judged of no man.

Boniface, Archbishop of Mentz, a Martyre, an English man, wrot a Letter to King Ethelbert, and rebuked him for abstaining from Mariage, that he might liue in luxuriousnesse with Nunnes, and that, he heard the chiefe of hi• Kingdom, by his example, forsooke their wiues, and liued in adultery with Nunnes; whereby appeareth the great disorder of life that alwaies hath beene in these Religious houses of Nunnes, whose vowe of coacted chastitie hath neuer beene good to Church or Common-wealth; and this Boniface, and others were most to blame, for that they g•u occasion thereof, by maintaining such superstitious orders of lasciuious Nunnes, and other religious, restraining them from lawfull Mariage. For we finde of him in Stories, that, he being the Popes Legate, builded Monasteries, Canonized Saints commanded Reliques to be worshipped, permitted religious Fathers to carry about Nunnes with them a preaching; and he founded the great Monastery of Floa in Germany of English Monkes, in which, no woman might enter, but only Leba and Seca two English Nuns, and by him Childericus, king of France was deposed, and Pipinus the betrayer of his master, made king. From this Boniface proceeded that detestable doctrine; that in case the Pope liued most filthily, and neglected himselfe, and all Christianitie, and led inumerable Soules with him to Hell yet ought no man to rebuke him, because he hath power to iudge all men, and ought to be iudged of no man.
