At the Council of Nice there was 318 Bishops, and by the subtlety of a Philosopher, disputing against the Marriage of Ministers, they generally voted against it, that those that were single, should not marry: At length up stars Paphnutius, a plain Christian, and in the name of Christ, with the naked word of God, he pleaded against them all in that case, and God so wrought by his Arguments, that he convinced the 318 Bishops, and carried the cause against them; yea, and so 1convinced the Philosopher of his error, that before all he freely confessed it. As long (saith he) as mens words were only pressed, I could repel words, with words; but what is weak man, 2to withstand the word of God? I yield I am conquered.
