And that his sworn Prelates in every land, might the more conveniently wait in Kings Courts, to minister the common wealth unto the popes pleasure and profit. For had the Clergy kept their wives, they could never have come unto this where they now be, and to these pluralities, unions and totquottes. For there is no lay man though he were never so evil disposed, that could for his wife & children have leisure to country such mischief, and to run from country to country, to learn falsehood and subtlety, as our spirituality do, which without fear of 1God and shame of man, keep whores wheresoever they come. And thus ye see, that the clergies chastity, pertaineth as much unto the temporality as unto the spirituality.
