An other reason their is of Pope 1Leo the. ix. that bringeth this text of S. Paul: Have not we power to lead about with us a wife, as the brother of our Lord, and Cephas? Out of this text disputeth the pope thus. S. Paul saith not, we have power amplectendi mulierē, to embrace a woman. But circunducendi, that is 2to lead her with us, that she may be sustained (as the Pope saith) of her ⟨p. 335⟩husband? But there may be no company of marriage between them. Every Christen man may see what a sklē der argument this is of the pope. S. Paul saith not, amplectendi sed cercū ducendi. Ergo, non licet sacerdotious habere uxores? This can no man deny, but S. Pauls meaning is there, how that priests may lawfully have wives as the example of Peter doth there prove. Wherefore I think no man so mad to judge, that the Apostles did merry wives, alonely to lead them about with them (as the Pope saith) and to put other men to costs and & charges? For this office they might have had of all other women, and needed not to marry, for leading about of women with them. Wherefore it must needs follow, seeing S. Pauls meaning is, that priests may lawfully have wives that they may also lawfully use the office of matrimony. For his own doctrine is, that the man hath no power over his own body, 3but his wife. Wherefore it must follow, that the pope maketh an evil supposition, when he supposeth, that the Apostles had wives, and did only but carry them about, to give them meat, and drink, and not to company with them.
