The words of Tyndale be these. He must have a wife for two causes: One, that it may thereby be known who is meet for the room, he is unapt for so chargeable an office:1 which had never household to rule. An other cause is, that chastity is an exceeding seldom gift, and unchastity exceeding perilous for that degree, in as much as the people look as well unto the living, as unto the preaching, and are hurt at once if the living disagree, and fall from the faith, and believe not the word, &c.
