Athenagoras saith, 1Secundae Nuptiae decorum quoddam sunt Adulterium: The Second Marriage (of Widowers, or Widows ) is a fair kind of Adultery. And S. Hierome calleth Widows so married, Harlots, and Naughty Women, Malas, & Prostitutas: And saithe, Digamia non nascitur in terra bona: Second Marriage groweth not in good soil. Again he saithe, Tolerabilius est, uni prostitutam esse, quàm multis: More tolerable it is, to be Concubine unto one, then unto many. Again, Ubi numerus maritorum est, ibi vir, qui propriè unus est, esse desijt: Where as there is a number of Husbands, there the husband, that in proper speech is but one, is no Husband. Likewise againe, Non damno Digamos. Etiam Scortatorem recipio Poenitentem. Quicquid aequaliter licet, aequa lance pensandum est: I condemne not Widowers, or Widows, that have married again. ⟨p. 166⟩No, 2I refuse not the Fornicator upon his repentance. 3What so ever is equally lawful, must be weighed in One balance.
