being Pilot (r) A fructuosa nauigatione nauigio continentiae gubernatore Christo spiritus sācti afflatu Nissen l. de virgin c. vlt. to vse the wordes of S. Gregory Nissen brother vnto S. Basil Heluidius the heretike an enemy of Virginity did obiect the same that some Virgins kept tauernes which S. Hierome doth not deny neyther did he think it any disgrace Ego autem saith he plus dico c. Nay I say more that some Virgins liue in adultery some Priests keep Innes some Monkes are vnchast but who doth not see that neither Virgins ought to keep tauernes neither Priests Innes nor Monkes commit adultery What fault hath Virginity if counterfaite Virgins be faulty Thus S. Hierome shewing that the fault of some ought not to be imputed vnto all nor those sinnes disgrace a profession which none but such as swarue from it can commit The state of chastity is high to which none can mount that are not full of the fyre of diuine loue which when it dieth (s) Quis nō statim intelligat nec tabernariam virginem nec adulterū Monachum nec Clericum posse esse cauponem Numquid virginitas in culpa est si simulator virginitatis in crimine est Hier. adu Heluid those that were before Nazaraeans more white then snow become incontinently more black then a coale whose scandalous life the Diuels instruments vse as a coale to black stayne and denigrate the good name of the rest (t) Seruis Dei detrahunt quorum vitam peruertere non possunt famam decolorare nituntur August epist 136. as our Bachelour now doth which was their custome euen in S. Augustines tyme. If saith he a Bishop or a Priest or a Monke or a Nunne fall into some sinne they the enemyes of vowed chastity bestir themselues they labour euen till they sweat to make the world beleeue that all Bishops Priests Monkes and Nunnes are such though they cannot be proued to be such And yet marke their partiality when a maryed women is taken in adultery they neither put away their wiues nor accuse their mothers (u) Ad quid sudāt isti quid alij captāt nisi vt quisquis Episcopus c. omnes tales esse credāt sed non posse omnes manifestari Et tamen etiam ipsi cùm aliqua maritata reperitur adultera ne● proijciunt vxores suas nec accusāt matres suas epist 137. Thus S. Augustine 28. The Bachelours remedy against this frailty to permit them that haue vowed chastity to marry when they begin to burne is iniurious vnto God to whom they made their vow against the perpetuall practice of the Church against the doctrine of the ancient Phisitiās of mens soules who exhort those that haue vowed chastity in such cases to seeke remedy by prayer and by pennance by fasting wearing haireclothes lying on the hard ground and specially by meditation of hell fire of the ioyes of heauen the life of Christ and of other obiects that may awake in their harts the flame of diuine loue And if these remedies do not preuaile in vayne will they seeke by the company of one woman to quench that fire that neuer saith inough except a man by reason set a non plus vltra vnto it What miseries and disorders haue flowed into Germany togeather with Luther and his sensual doctrine in which ou● Bachelour agreeth with him that S. Paul cōmaundeth all that burne to marry Protestants themselues complaine to wit that this Ghospell hath bereaued men of honesty women of modesty children of simplicity Vt ex illa peruersa Paulinae legis interpretatione saith (x) Siluest Crecanou de corruptis moribus one multò grauiora nobis Christianis expectanda sint quàm Turcis ex sua Polygamina quibus tot licet quot libet vxores ducere That out of this peruerse and false interpretation of the place of S. Paul we Christians may expect more impure and beastly practises then are euen among Turkes who by their Poligamy may marry as many wiues as they list Hence it is saith he that in former ages so frequent and so manifold and abhominable venery hath bene practised as now is by both sexes and all ages VVe see yong boyes goe openly to Queanes from which if they be drawne they stubbornly demaūd wiues The same is also in yong mayds when they are lasciuious and wanton being checked they straight craue husbands both pretending Luthers law that none can liue chast (y) The same doth the Protestant Wigandus report de bonis malis Germā that venery is as necessary as meate and drinke Thus he What murders and massacres of their wiues this fire hath driuen Ministers vnto seeking to quench their owne wanton flames in their wiues bloud the same Protestant doth largely recount namely of a Minister * Crecanouius vbi supra At Newburge in Germany that poysoned his wife and being demaunded the cause that moued him to so bloudy a fact made freely this answere Coniugium in Lutheranis Sacerdotibus non extinguere vagas libidines That marriage in Lutheran Ministers is not sufficient to quench the fire of their wandring lust and affection to diuers women 29. VVherfore M. Crashaw if you seeke not to quench your fire by such water of pennance and deuotion as ancient Fathers prescribe it is much to be feared the same will not burne long within your owne dores nor your wife without danger keep in so furious a flame specially if you be of the fiery temper that Zuinglius other your first Ghospellers were of who say (z) Non aliam matrimonij causam apud Paulū quàm carnis ad libidinem aestum reperire licet quem feruere in nobis negare non possumus cùm huius ipsius opera nos coram Ecclesijs infames reddiderint c. Zuinglius tom 1. fol. 115. edit Tigur an 1581. that in S. Paul no other motiue of marriage is found but only the burning of carnall lust which cause they confesse was so manifest in them that our burning say they hath made vs infamous before the face of Churches and by burning lust we vnderstand carnall desires and longings wherwith a man euen set a fire doth thinke of no other thing then the pleasing of his libidinous appetites spending all his thoughts and meditations therein wholy imploying himselfe how to satisfy the raging of his flesh These are the very wordes of the first fire-brands of your Ghospell and this was the fire and feruour which moued them to preach against the Pope which whether it were from hell or heauen from God or the Diuell from the motion of the spirit or fury of the flesh let the Reader iudge and whether marriage may be thought able to quench such raging flames of Apostaticall Priests or how neighbours may be secure whō but a wall doth part from such fires or rather let vs leaue this matter and iudgment to him who shall iudge the world by fire the
