The Pope shoulde rather have sent into the West Indies store of godly pastors of his owne coste freely, then to have geven them and their gooddes wrongfully to be eaten upp and devoured of such insatiable and gredy wolves. He should have remembred the worde of our Saviour, whoe saieth: Beatius est dare quam accipere—it is a blessed thinge to give rather then to receave.
Si autem ex veneratione magna precipere non praesumitur, laudanda est. Augustine asks, Si post illusionem, quae per somnum solet accidere, vel corpus Domine quilibet accipere valeat; vel, si sacerdos sit, sacra mysteria celebrare.

"Potest et femina quaeque et mas, pro turpi corporis usu, pretium, accipere et petere." Hurtado issued a volume of "Disputations and Difficulties." At p. 476 is the following genuine Popish rule of life "Carnal intercourse before marriage is not unlawful." So teaches that Jesuit oracle.
Et tunc ille, qui viduam accipere vult, cum tribus testibus qui adprobare debent, tres solidos aeque pensantes, et denarium habere debet, etc. Leges Liutprandi, ii, 1. Lex Wisigothorum, iii, 1, 2 and 3, and iii, 6, 3. E.g., 62 solidi by the Salic law, Tit., 70. See also Lex Baiuvariorum, Tit., vii, 15 and 16 and 17. Lex Alemannorum, 52, i; 53; 54.
For this point then at which we hold us, we allege that which is marked in the third century out of Origen, namely, that it was held unlawful for Christians to observe the feasts and solemnities, either of the Jews or of the Gentiles.

Also in Gaius, ii, 227, and Paulus, iii, viii, 1-3, and iv, 3, 3, and 5 and 6. Paulus, iv, Tit. v, 1. Cases in which "Complaints of Undutiful Will" were the issue will be found, e.g., in Codex, iii, 28, 1 and 19 and 28; id., iii, 29, 1 and 7. Ulpian in Dig., 38, 16, 1: suos heredes accipere debemus filios filias sive naturales sive adoptivos.
Melius est dare quam accipere; his bliss is ever perfect and can receive no increase, either from within or from without. I come now to the principal objection M. Bayle, after M. Arnauld, brings up against me.
