1This Clement wrote after Christ two hundred years, and yet if we come downward to lower times, we shall find both by the Council of Gangren CCC. years, and also by the Council of Nice CCCC. years after Christ, the same liberty of priests marriage established and enacted as a thing both good and godly. The words of Gangren Council be these: Si quis discernit Praesbyterum coniugatum, tanquam occasione nuptiarum, quod offerre non debeat, 2& ab eius oblatione ideo abstinet, anathema sit, &c. That is: If any do judge that a Priest for his marriage sake, ought not to minister, and therefore doth abstain from the same, let him be accursed.
