Marriage and the church (Corp. Jur. Canon. Decret. Gratian. Decr. Prim. Pars; Jewel; Parker Society, ed., The works of John Jewel, 1848, 3rd portion)

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:

   But what pleasure can it be to stand so long in so unsavoury a place? They themselves say thus: [...] "Simple fornication (in a priest) is no just cause of deprivation." The cause thereof in another gloss is alleged thus: Quia pauci sine illo vitio inveniuntur18: "Because there be few priests found without that fault."

   [18 [Corp. Jur. Canon. Lugd. 1624. Decret. Gratian.] Decr. Prim. Pars, Dist. lxxxi. Gloss. in can. 6. col. 386; where cum pauci, and inveniantur.]
