Beza by his most filthy manners was a disgrace to honest discipline, who in sacrilegious verse published to the world his detestable loues, his vnlawful carnal actes, his whoredomes, & foule adulteries, not content that himself only should like a hog wallow in the durt of wicked lusts, but he must also pollute the eares of studious youth with his filth.
