HOOPER. Yes, my lord, and will not be unmarried, till death unmarry me.
DURHAM. That is matter enough to deprive you.
HOOPER. It is not, my lord, except you do against the law.
THE matter concerning marriage was no more talked of then for some time: but as well the commissioners, as such as stood by, began to make such outcries, and laughed, and used such gestures as were unseemly for the place, and for such a matter. Dr. Day, bishop of Chichester, called bishop Hooper hypocrite, with vehement words, and scornful countenance. Bishop Tonstall called him beast; so did Smith, one of the clerks of the council, and several others that stood by. At length the bishop of Winchester said, that all m•n might live chaste who would, and brought in this text, "There are those that have become […] for the kingdom of heaven," Matt. xix.12.
