Si quis vero suam coniugem non cupidine voluptatis raptus, sed solummodo creandorum liberorum gratia utitur, iste profecto sive de ingressu ecclesiae, seu de sumendo Dominici corporis sanguinisque mysterio, suo est iudicio relinquendus; quia a nobis prohiberi non debet accipere, qui in igne positus nescit ardere.
If however any man doth use his wife (not being carried away by desire of pleasure, but to the end of procreation only), this man truly is to be left unto his own discretion, whether for coming into the church, whether for the taking of the mystery of the Lords body and blood; for he is not to be kept from receiving by us, which being in the fire cannot be burned.
