Moreover let us mark the effects of dancing. It is written in Matthew, 1that the daughter of Herodias danced at a banquet which the king made: & the king took pleasure in her, whom he could not openly without shame behold. For she was a manifest testimony of his unlawful matrimony & of his adultery. For Herod had married the mother of that maiden being his brothers wife. Of that dancing it came to pass, that Johns head was cut of. Many are angry with us, because we cry against dancings, as against things which are of their own nature evil & prohibited: we on the other side say, that things are not always to be weighed by their own nature, but by the disposition & abuse of our flesh: we can not deny but that wine of his own nature is good, which yet is not given unto one that is in an ague, not that the wine is evil, but because it agreeth not with a body that is in that manner affected. In Exodus, when the people had made themselves a calf to worship, they sat down, did eat, drank, and rose up to play. In which place it seemeth that to play was nothing else then to dance.
Moreouer let vs marke ye effects of daūsing. It is writtē in Mathew, 1yt the daughter of Herodias daunsed at a banquet which the king made: & the kyng tooke pleasure in her, whom he could not openly without shame behold. For she was a manifest testimony of his vnlawfull matrimony & of hys adultery. For Herode had maried the mother of that mayden being his brothers wife. Of that daunsing it came to passe, yt Iohns head was cut of. Many are angry with vs, bycause we crye agaynst daūsings, as agaynst things which are of their own nature euill & prohibited: we on the other side say, that things are not alwayes to be weighed by theyr owne nature, but by the disposition & abuse of our fleshe: we can not deny but that wyne of his owne nature is good, whiche yet is not geuen vnto one that is in an agew, not that the wine is euill, but bycause it agreeth not with a body that is in that maner affected. In Exodus, when the people had made themselues a calfe to worship, they sat down, did eate, dranke, and rose vp to play. In which place it seemeth that to playe was nothing els then to daunse.
