To the charge of living unmarried on the part of "The ministers & godly men about me."
p.1

with them than I ought to have been, heaven forgive
me: But for committing fornication or Adultery with
any single or married woman, I protest before Heaven

had carnal knowledge of any woman, save of my
own wife, nor of her, but as was fitting for procreation,
seldom or never after I knew her to be
