And in deed if you lay hereunto the life, manners, and conversation of those legates lateral, and of their families, you shall find in manner nothing else, but extreme uncleanness, filthiness and ⟨p. 495⟩beastliness, monstrous lust, whoredom and adultery, and detestable fornications, wonderful surfeiting, bloody crafts and counsels. Therefore the thing it self speaketh: and the things that the legates do every where, are a commentary of this place. And where there be three unclean spirits reckoned, some do expound it of divines, lawyers and religious as monks and friars, of the which three sorts for the most part are chosen the Popes ambassadors. I understand simply by the third number, that those legates shall be most furnished with all hostile authority, & that they shall all agree well amongst themselves, and all help one an other: that what so ever one seemeth to lack, an other may supply. Solomon in Ecclesiastica, a threefold rope or line, sayeth he, will not lightly break.
