In lately reading that very curious book, Whiston's _Autobiography_, I
met with some remarks on this subject, which I made a note of, and which
are at the service of A. B. C. Whiston quotes the well-known Dr. Wall as
follows:--
"The Greek Church still observe the rule of allowing their clergy
to marry but once, and before the Council of Nice made a further
rule that none after his orders should marry; and I believe it is
hard to find in church history an instance of any one who married
after he was in priest's orders for a thousand (in reality for
above a thousand four hundred) years before Martin Luther."
