Eodem anno ad festum Michaelis tenuit Anselmus Archiepiscopus Concilium apud Londonias: In quo prohibuit sacerdotibus Anglorum, uxores antea non prohibitas. Quod quibusdam mundissimum visum est, quibusdam periculosum: ne dumb mundicias viribus mayors appeterent, in immundicias horribiles ad Christiani nominis summum dedecus inciderent, &c. That is, The same year at the feast of S. Michael. Anselm the Archbishop of Canterbury held a Synod at London: 1In the which Synod he forfended Priests here in England to have wives, which they were not inhibited before to have. Which constitution seemed to some persons very pure and chaste. To othersome again it seemed very dangerous, 2least while that men should take upon them such chastity more then they should be able to bear, by that occasion they might happily fall into horrible filthiness, which should redound to the exceeding slander of christian profession, &c.
