Marriage and the church (Polydore Vergil; 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:

   To be short, Polydorus Vergilius saith: Nullius delicti crimen majus ordini dedecus, plus mali religioni, plus doloris . . . bonis . . . attulit18: "No kind of crime ever brought either more shame to the order of priesthood, or more hindrance to religion, or more grief to the godly, than the life of single priests."

   [19 Polyd. Verg. de Invent. Rer. Amst. 1671. Lib. v. cap. iv. p. 314; where attulerit.]
