A05202	The pedegrewe of heretiques Wherein is truely and plainely set out, the first roote of heretiques begon in the Church, since the time and passage of the Gospell, together with an example of the ofspring of the same. Perused and alowed according to the order appoynted in the Queenes Maiesties iniunctions.	Barthlet, John.	1566 (1566)	STC 1534; ESTC S101557	103,046	188

vse the same for polluting the Sacramentes and consecrated stuffe For he that sayth that a maried man may not touch a Chalice or such like consecrated stuffe as here Aquinas teacheth meaneth that it is not bicause he is a man but bycause he is coupled in mariage that defileth Is not then Aquinas a Tatian that sayth Matrimonie defileth the man coupled therein and the man the holy things And secondly doe not then the Thomists also y t which Irenaeus saith of Tatian Sensim reprehendentes eum c. They priuily therein reprehende him that appointed the generation of man and woman for he might haue deuised a more holye waye for generation And doe they not consequently condēning the same for naught or be it that they do but disalowe it appoynte it rather to the Diuell who is properly and onely the authour of al naughtinesse and vncleanelinesse than to God from whome no such order can procéede But here the Popistes wyll obiecte that the olde Tatians did condemne matrimonie in all men they do but dysalowe it in a certayne sorte To aunswere of the which shift for it is no reason I will procéede thus First prouing that it is an heresie not to leaue matrimonie indifferent Secondly that they dysalowe it in all men and count it vnholy First of all marke that the question is not whether the Popists are further ouer the shooes in this errour than are the Tatians but whether they are in it at all For although it be a more horrible errour to discommende or forbyd matrimonie in all men yet to doe the like to a fewe or special sort is also an heresie albeit it séemeth y e gentler For those seducers that Paule speaketh of who shall haue their consciences marked with an hote burning yron shal forbyd to marry are not sayd that they shal forbid this sorte or that sorte but simply forbid to marry so that as therein Tatian the elder is foretolde so likewise his babe yong Tatian and that Church for I dare say they found no such doctrine in Luthers bokes Let vs mark the words more déepely Paule in y e thirde chapter gaue Timothe instruction of good byshoppes and ministers duties and in this fourth he is bent especially in these wordes to paynt out what naughty and ill ministers and teachers shall doe as it were by Antithesis to giue it more life and willeth among other things that he shoulde assertaine the brethren what intollerable burthens the erronious spirites in the latter dayes shall bring in without care loue and regard of the congregation and weakenesse of the flocke and that in hipocrisie For as the nature alwayes of Heretiques stuffed with false harts and heresie is seming holy in outwarde appearaunce wolues in shéepes skinnes so they themselues will not set their handes to any suche burthen Vnto this sense doth Origen vpon the wordes of Christ fytly speake with the sayde texte of Paule Repraehendit huiusmodi praeceptores qui non solum quae docent non faciunt sed etiam crudeliter sine misericordia non secundum aestimationem virium vniuscuiusque audiētis sed maiora virtute ipsorum iniūgunt Vtpote qui prohibent nubere ab eo quod expedit ad immoderatam immunditiam compellunt that is Christ reprehendeth such teachers which do not onely not that whiche they teache but doe also cruellye and without compassion not according to due estimation of euery of their auditours strength enioigne greter things thā they are able to beare as they which forbyd to marry restrayning that which is expedient compell men to immoderate vncleanenesse Thus far Origen by whose wordes it may euidently appeare that it is a doctrine contrary to the truth of the Scripture an heauy burthen and doctrine of wicked spirites and tirannes to forbid mariage or restrayne it not only in all men but in any man that can not abstayne When as certayne in the generall councell at Nice which beganne Anno. 315. woulde haue mariage forbidden to the cleargie men alone as vncleane then Paphnutius as Sozo li. 1. cap. 23. sayth start vp saying Concubitium cum propria vxore castitatem esse that it is chastitie for a man to accompany with his owne wife wherevnto the whole counsell agréed Eaque in re nihil statuit sed eam in vniuscuiusque arbitrium nō necessitatem reiecit And determined nothing thereof but left it indifferent to euery mans owne wil. S. Paul also leaueth it frée and restrayneth no man there from onely he sayth to the woman quae nubat in Domino nubat she that marrieth let her marry in the Lorde Wherefore the true doctrine is to let matrimony remaine in al men indifferently that those that wil may marry euen of the cleargie And so it shoulde séeme it was practized As in .56 Distinct c. Osius There is .7 Popes rehearsed that were Deacons Priestes and Subdeacons sonnes c. Therefore the fyrst poynte is playne that matrimonie is to be lefte indifferent And that it is doctrine as beforesayd of erronious spirits to restrayne the same in any wise This notwithstanding all the Popes kingdome that is his cleargie for they are his proper and immediate subiects as the Monks Chanons Nunnes with all seculare Priestes and Regularies could not be to their orders and rules admitted vnlesse matrimonie contracted and now and then solemnized were broken and also forbydden and restrayned as in libr. 6. c. quod votum and in the Decretalls de conuers coniug per totum may appeare Of these the very Church and kingdome of the Pope immediatly consisted So y t all men whome he could peruert with his error were onelye admitted to his immediate iurisdiction And yet though this cursed Cowes hornes were so shorte that he coulde not sequester all men but onely those shauelings from matrimonie is he therefore of any better minde yea holier or sounder than Tatian was who admitted none to his speciall sorte but such as would not marrie Pardie his will was so For if a married man was chosen a byshop he must put away his wife sweare continencie his wife must become a Nunne though she were his first wife I woulde aske this question whether they counted them not the holier that vowed chastitie and abstayned matrimonie Aquinas sayth yea Then whether they wished not yea taught all men to pursue the same holy estate as beste which if they did then they condemned matrimonie But if it was not such a thing that they wished all men to embrace as an estate holier than matrimonie they then deceyued those that embraced the same aboue al other conditions and estates of calling and life for the best Of whome there is no small number as in the Chapter of Psallians hereafter shall appeare But it is most euident that they so did seing they prayed that al men might leade that single life as their Collect on the day of the Natiuitie of
