In like sort saith S. Hierome, 1Quidam de hoc loco ita sentiunt: Judaicae, inquiunt, Consuetudinis fuit, vel binas uxores habere, vel plures. Et hoc nunc volunt esse Praeceptum, ne is, qui Episcopus eligendus est, uno tempore Duas Pariter Uxores habeat: Touching this place some men think thus: By the Custom of the Jews it was lawful for a man, to have Two wives, or moe at once. And this they take to be the Apostles Commandment, that he, that is to be chosen a Bishop, have not Two wives,2 or moe together at one time. Again he saith, Diaconi sint Unius uxoris viri: Non, ut si non habuerint, ducant: Sed ne Duas habeant: Let the Deacons be the Husbands of One wife: not that they should needs marry a wife, if they have none: but that they should not have Two wives together.3 Likewise saith Cardinal Caietane, Apostolus Episcopis permittit Unam Uxorem, Coeteris plures: The Apostle suffereth a Bishop to have One Wife: Others he suffereth to have Moe.
