Wood. So we tarried dinner with him,1 and had no further talk, neither how to prove where the true church of God is, nor of the Sacraments, nor of any other thing pertaining to meward, not for the space of two hours or more: but he entered in talk with me, how I understood many scriptures, & for bishops and priests marriages, & whether Paul had a wife or not. To whom I answered: It is a thing that I have little to do with, as concerning marriages: but I am very well content to talk with you in the matter, as far as my poor learning will serve.2 So when he had talked with me of divers Scriptures, he liked my talk well. He asked me how I said by S. Paul, whether he were married or not. To whom I answered: I prove by the scriptures, that he was never married.
