Farthermore, what argument is this of the popes? The priests of the old law, did abstain from their wives, 1the time of their ministration, Ergo, our priests must always abstain? How followeth this, always, out of the old priests, sometime? But me 2thinketh the pope should rather take an occasion of this place, to bind his priests to marriage, if they can not live sole. For the priests of the law, by Gods commandment had wives: Ergo, God would not reckon marriage unclean, and unpure. And if it were clean for them, it must much more be cleaner unto our priests. For all things be cleaner unto us, then to them. Wherefore me thinketh yt pope should rather dispute on this manner. The priests of yt old law had wives, and were not thereby defiled, Ergo, my priests must much rather have wives, for they shall be less defiled.
