Good song Barry. There are many stories of lusty friars in The Decameron, The Heptameron, The Cent Nouvelles Nouvells and other novella collections of the renaissance, and I am suspect that we would have many similar ballads from England had not Henry VIII eliminated the monasteries and nunneries. This left no English settings for such songs. At least they could blame other countries for the lusty friars. The English bawdy ones then are often about Quakers and Puritans, and later, Presbyterians. There are a few earlier English songs on lusty friars in R. H. Robbins' 'Secular Lyrics of the 14th and 15th Centuries', and see "The Friar and the Nun", c 1500, on my website. "The Lusty Friar of Dublin" (ZN2554 in my broadside ballad index) prefered a married woman, but "The Lusty Fryer of Flanders" (ZN1898) got 30 nuns of Gaunt pregnant in a space of 3 weeks in a broadside ballad of 1688. [This is in de Sola Pinto and Rodway's 'The Common Muse' in the 'Clerical' section (Clerical = bawdy).]
