The same Paul doth still go on and saith: do ye not know, that your bodies are the temple of the holy Ghost? And assuredly he which destroyeth the temple of God, God will destroy him. As though he should have said: ye have not your bodies of your selves, but of god. God hath made them his temple, and the holy ghost dwelleth in them. Ye are not your own: Wherefore ye do not a little violate Justice in contaminating an other mans thing. Ye are bought with a great price, ⟨image 237⟩wherefore glorify God in your body. These arguments of Paul are both most pleasant, and also most strong, which if they satisfy not some, let him look upon our Samson. He was no idolater, no murderer, no these, and yet is he taken, bound, his eyes put out, and is compelled to grind in a prison, even as if he had ben a four footed beast.

These argumentes of Paul are both most pleasaunt, and also most strōg, which if they satisfy not some, let him loke vpon our Samson. He was no idolatrer, no murtherer, no these, and yet is he taken, bound, his eyes put out, and is compelled to grinde in a prison, euen as if he had ben a foure footed beast.
Paul laboureth by many arguments to prove whoredom is sin. And no marvel: because then he wrote uno the Corinthians which at that time abounded above other in fornications. Whereof came the Proverb, Non quivis Corinthū it is It is not for every man to go to Corinthus. And in universal all the Ethnics were in an ill opinion touching this vice.
