He sayeth I am no more a priest of God

While I’m thy husband.

Marg. Not priest of God while thou art husband? Nay!

But he is mad indeed, for thou art both,

A good kind pastor, as these people know,

And as I know, a good and loving husband.

Gerb. He saith ’tis some new law within the church.

He saith in sooth, sweet Margaret, I must either

Put thee away or leave the priesthood.
