Filthiness of marriage, according to the church (Pighius; Vincent, The morning-exercise against popery, 1675)

Text: "Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women..." Daniel 11:37 "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry..." 1 Timothy 4:1-3

Quote:

[...] Hosius, who doth defend the saying of Pighius as not only true, but pious, that a Priest through the infirmity of the flesh falling into the sin of Fornication, doth sin less than if he should marry; and telleth us, that although this Assertion seem foul, yet the Catholicks account it most honest. Reprehenditur Pighius qui non vere magis, quam pie, scriptum reliquit, minus peccare Sacerdotem, qui ex infirmitate carnis in Fornicationem sit prolapsus; quam qui nuptias contraxit, Turpis videtur hæc oratio, contra, Catholicis honestissimum. Hosius Confessionis capite 56. [...]
