themselues the one to the other in that comelye estate of lyuynge Neyther do they tell them what marryage ys nor yet to what ende yt was instystute of god They declare not vnto them that yt ys an onlye remedye ageynst fornycacyon and ought to be vsed with moche honeste clennesse and sobernesse after the Godlye example of Tobias and Sara But turne them forth togyther with tyrlerye tregobett neyther barell better hearynge Hoppe whore and ronne thefe I am as good as thu and I besure we thy whoresons hart tyll they fall to the tryall of the matter for the best game to catche theÌ„ an heate And what ys thys els but dogge and bytche Is yt so haynouse a matter to tell you of thys The examples therof are to euydeÌ„t a brode Vvho so euer be rebuked for ther vycyouse lyuynge your anoynted mustre maye not be ones touched Your ser Nycolas nydypolles maye not ones be blowne vpon but straytwayes yt must be proclamed heresye O father of heauen whan wyll ye be ashamed of yowr lewdenesse Neyther speake ye here of the thynge selfe but of the maner of vsage of the Ceremonye therof callynge yt weddynge and marryage as though yt were ij dyuerse thynges I thought this blast was for some matter of yowrs I wolde haue marueled yf ye had sought so moche honour to marryage But I wondre sore how yt now becommeth but onlye a ceremonye and was sumtyme one of your sacramentes Surelye ye haue conceyued some dyspleasure ageynst yt now of late And I thynke yt ys for that ye haue knowne prestes gone so fast vnto yt within fewe years contrarye to your holye decrees and canons to the destruccyon of your Sodome and Gomor whych ye haue gloryouslye maynteyned euer sens the dayes of Anselme .iiij. hondreth years and more 3 But where as ye wryte that ye marrye vyrgyns yt ys not true specyallye in soche marryages as yow promote I haue harde of and knowne dyuerse of your generacyon that hath marred virgyns before they haue marryed them yea sumtyme in the selfe mornynge afore whyls the pyes were in bakynge so spuÌ„allye haue they vsed that godlye ordynaunce I thynke thvs be yet worse than dogge and bytche Neyther ys yt true in other marryages where as yow are no medlers yf ye make a dyfference betwyne wyues and vyrgyns For wyues they are before they come there els are they made nou by yow The lorde hath knytt them togyther afore in one mutuall knotte of loue Vvhych yow

Romyshe lawes and customes But that wyll not be in your dayes 4 For here ye holde your selfe also greued with these bokes ye saye for beynge ageynst mennys lawes and tradycyons If ye coude so well haue seyd ageynst gods lawes we had had yt of you ere thys But blessed be owr lorde ye can not so speake yt wout a great lye The lawes of menne â—â—e to be allowed so longe as they agâ—ello the lawes
