And yet though all the Clergy of christendom had granted it, all the Church had not made it, nor yet the tenth part of the Church. The lay people be as well of the Church as the Priests. Neither can all the Priests in the world of right make any law wherein their part lieth without their consent. Now it pertaineth unto the common people and most of all unto the 1weakest, that their Priests be endued with all virtue and honesty. And the chastity of his wife, daughter and servant pertaineth unto every particular man, which we see by experience defiled daily, by the unchaste chastity of the spirituality.
And yet though all the Clergie of christendome had graunted it, all the Church had not made it, nor yet the tenth part of the Church. The lay people be as well of the Churche as the Priestes. Neither can all the Priestes in the world of right make any law wherin their part lyeth without their consent. Now it perteineth vnto the cōmon people and most of all vnto the 1weakest, that their Priestes be endued with all vertue and honestie. And the chastitie of his wife, daughter and seruaunt perteineth vnto euery particular man, which we see by experience defiled dayly, by the vnchast chastitie of the spiritualitie.
