You put me now in remembrance of divers ⟨image 40⟩that are offended at the marriage of Priests, but none are offended, that for the most part they are all given over unto filthy whoredom, and common adultery without all shame leaving divers detestable examples thereof, by the which all degrees of people are greatly corrupted, and causeth the common tittle of our Christianity to be infamed and ill repo• red of, even amongest the infidels.
