The xiij. Chapter.
IN the xiij. he rageth and fareth exceeding foul with him self. There he biteth, sucketh, gnaweth, towseth, and mouseth Tyndall. There he weneth that he hath won his spurs & that it is not possible to answer him. And yet there, because he there most standeth in his own conceit, I doubt not unto them that be learned in Christ to prove him most ignorant of all, and clean without understanding of godly things.

There he weneth that he hath wonne his spurres & that it is not possible to aunswere him. And yet there, because he there most stādeth in his owne conceite, I doubt not vnto them that be learned in Christe to proue hym most ignoraunt of all, and cleane without vnderstanding of godly thynges.
And I say yet, that as no woman ought to rule a mans office•, where a 1man is present, by the order of nature, and as a young man ought not to be chosen, to minister in the Church, where an old mete for the room may be had by the order of nature, even so it was Pauls meaning to prefer the married before the unmarried, for the inconveniences that might chance by the reason of unchastity, which inconveniences M. More might see with sorrow 2of hart (if he had as great love to Christ as to other things) to happen daily unto the shame of Christs doctrine, among Priests, Fryers and Monks, partly with open whores, partly with their sodomy, whereof they cast each other in the teeth daily in every Abbey, for the least displeasure that one doth to an other. M. More might see what occasions of unchastity be given unto the Curates every where by the reason of their office and daily conversation with the married.
