IF it be M. Bucers judgement which is alleged here for the ring / I see that sometimes Homer sleepeth. For first of all I have showed / that it is not lawful to institute new signs and sacraments / and then it is dangerous to do it / especially in this which confirmeth the false and popish opinion of a sacrament / as is alleged by the admonition. And thirdly / to make such fond allegories of the laying down of the money / of the roundness of the ring / and of the mystery of the fourth finger / is (let me speak it with his good leave) very ridiculous and far unlike him self. And fourthly / that he will have the minister to preach upon these toys / surely it savoureth not of the learning and sharpness of the judgement of M. Bucer. And whereas M. doctor / upon that s. Peter willeth the husbands to give honour to their wives / would approve this manner of speech in matrimony (with my body I thee worship) he must understand that it is one thing with us to worship / and an other thing to honour. For we honour men which we do not worship / and besides that S. Peter speaketh of the honour of the mind / whereby the husband should be moved to bear with the infirmities of his wife / & therefore it is unfitly alleged / to prove that he may worship her with his body.
IF it be M. Bucers iudgement whych is alledged heere for the ring / I see that sometimes Homere sleapeth. For first of all I haue shewed / that it is not lawfull to institute new signes and sacraments / and then it is dangerous to doe it / especially in this whych confirmeth the false and popyshe opinion of a sacrament / as is alledged by the admonition. And thirdly / to make suche fonde allegories of the laying downe of the money / of the roundnes of the ring / and of the mystery of the fourth finger / is (let me speake it wyth hys good leaue) very ridiculous and farre vnlike hym selfe. And fourthly / that he wil haue the minister to preach vpon these toyes / surely it sauoreth not of the learning and sharpnes of the iudgement of M. Bucer. And wheras M. doctor / vpon that s. Peter willeth the husbands to geue honor to their wiues / wold approue this manner of speach in matrimony (wyth my body I thee worshyp) he must vnderstād that it is one thing wyth vs to worship / and an other thing to honor. For we honor men whych we do not worshyp / and besides that S. Peter speaketh of the honor of the mynde / wherby the husband shuld be moued to beare wyth the infirmities of his wife / & therfore it is vnfitly alleaged / to proue that he may worship her with his body.
