They bring examples of the Prophets, of Zechariah, of John Baptiste, and of Mary the Virgin,1 and of Joseph, who in those corrupt & defiled times went unto the common services, and to the temple of the Jews. And therefore they think they may also be permitted to do in like sort. But they ought to consider with themselves, that at that time there were many pernicious doctrines and evil opinions among the Scribes and Pharisees. But yet the manner of sacrificing was not changed, for the same beasts and oblations were still offered which the law had commanded: the same days and ceremonies were observed. Wherefore holy men might use them, for as much as they had the word of god joined with them. But as for the corrupt doctrines, opinions and manners of certain priests, bishops and Scribes, were no let unto holy men, especially seeing they were pure and far from them, and in all things: both judged and also lived according to the word of god. And the corruptions of doctrine, and vices when opportunity served, they reprehended and sharply reproved. This doth Augustine testify as it is written in the .xxiii.2 Question the fourth Chap. Recedite, and in certain other Chapters, also which are there written.

If they them selves think evil, and if they live filthily, we will be sorry for them, we will admonish, rebuke, and accuse them, and put them if we may from the holy administration, when as they are paste amendment, although we abstain not from the Sacraments.
They bring examples of the Prophets, of Zachary, of Iohn Baptiste, and of Mary the Virgin,1 and of Ioseph, who in those corrupt & defiled times went vnto the cōmon seruices, and to the temple of ye Iewes. And therfore they thinke thei may also be permitted to do in like sort. But they ought to consider with themselues, that at that time there were many pernitious doctrines and euill opinions among the Scribes and Phariseyes. But yet the manner of sacrificyng was not chaunged, for the same beastes and oblations were stil offred which the law had cōmaunded: the same daies and ceremonies were obserued. Wherfore holy mē might vse thē, for as much as they had the word of god ioyned with thē. But as for the corrupt doctrines, opinions and manners of certaine priests, bishops and Scribes, were no let vnto holy men, especially seing they were pure and farre from them, and in all thinges: both iudged and also liued according to the word of god. And the corruptions of doctrine, and vices when opportunitye serued, they reprehended and sharpely reproued. This doth Augustine testifye as it is writtē in the .xxiii.
