And therefore he addeth his judgement of him: Privandum honore decernimus: We think him meet to be deprived of his promotion.

Of this kind of Second Marriage Chrysostom speaketh, I mean of having two Wives alive together: And not of marrying the Second wife after the death of the Former. 1And therefore he saith, Secundam quidem accipere, secundum Praeceptum Apostoli licitum est: Secundum autem Veritatis rationem Verè Fornicatio est. Sed cùm▪ permittente Deo, Publicè, & licenter permittitur, fit Honesta Fornicatio: To take the Second wife (while the first is alive) according to the Apostles commandment, it is lawful: But by the Judgement of the Truth in deed it is Fornication. But while as by God's permission it is openly, and lawfully suffered, the Fornication is made Honest. This last Clause the Gloss there expoundeth thus: Fornicatio cum ea, quam permisit Moses post repudiatam assumi: Fornication, I mean, with her, whom Moses suffered to be taken to wife after the Divorce of the First.
