Hereunto assenteth S. Paul, when that by many reasons he had persuaded the Corinthians to single life. Finally, he concludeth thus: This (quoth he) say I unto you willing ye which should be for your profit: but not to bring you in bondage. And a little afore: I would (quoth he) that all men were even as my self am. But every one hath a several gift of God one one wise, an other otherwise, showing thereby, that unto some it is given of God to live continent, and to other for to engender & procreate children, and therefore his will cannot come to effect. Which thing you may easily perceive in this: that after he had showed forth his good wish and desire, saying: Velim omnes homines. 1&c. I would that all men were even as I am: he putteth a conjunction adversative, that declareth an obstacle or stop saying· Sed unusquisque proprium donum habet. &c. But every man hath his proper gift of God.
