Marry so they say, ye fellows of the new learning Forsake holy church, and now fall fast to wyving.

Thou seemest one of them, that detesteth matrimony▪ Which is afore God, a slate both just and holy. Of such as thou art, saint Paul did prophecy By the holy Ghost, that a certain company In the latter days from the truth of God should fall Attending to spirits, of error diabolical Which in hypocrisy, will teach lies for advantage With marked conseyences, inhabiting marriages Thou apperest by thy fruits, to be infidelity I am none other, but even the very he And hither now come I, to commenthe matter with ye Avoid cursed fiend, and get the out at the gates.
