Marriage and the church (Onus Ecclesiae; Gibson, A preservative against Popery, 1738, vol. 1)

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:


[...] The Author of Onus Ecclesiæ, who was John Suffragan Bishop of Saltzburg, and writ just before the Reformation, saith, [...] (b) The Nunneries in his Time were as publickly prostituted as the common Stews. [...]

[...] (b) Sunt propatula, ut ipsa loca Veneris. cap. 22. [...]
