1 Corinthians7:8
Verſe 8. I ſay therefore to the unmarried] Yet doth not the Apoſtle ſimply prefer virginity or viduity before marriage as better. The Saturnilian heretikes ſaid, that marriage was of the devil. And the blemiſh will never be wiped off ſome of the ancient Fathers, who to eſtabliſh their own I dol of I know not what virginity, which they themſelves had not, have written moſt wickedly and baſely of marriage. If the ſame God had not been the authour of virginity and marriage, he had never countenanced virginity by marriage, as he did in the bleſſed Virgin.
