What will men say to blessed S. 1Paul, where he saith, Have we not power to lead about a sister to wife, as well as the brethren of the Lord, and as Cephas? I will not dispute, whether that Paul had a wife or not But this I am sure, that this text doth clearly prove, and that after yt mind of great doctors how that Peter, & other Apostles had wives. Wherefore then should it be unlawful for our priests to marry? Be our priests holier than S. Peter & other Apostles? Or is marriage now more unlawful, then it was then? But peradventure 2here will be said, that the Apostles had wives before that Christ did choose them, but afterward they forsook their wives, and followed Christ.
