Mille. 1I hold it a blessed band, for Christ himself maintained it, and approved the same, and also made it free to all men: but ye think it not free to you: ye abhor it, and in the mean time take other mens wives and daughters, & will not keep the band that God hath made. Ye vow chastity, & break the same. S. Paul had rather marry then burn: the which I have done, for God forbade never marriage to any man, of what state or degree so ever he were.
