Martinus Poenitentiarius saith, 1Ecclesia multos huiusmodi Canones exufflavit: quia onerosi sunt: The Churche hath blown away many such Canons, for that they be too burdenous. Look better on your Books, M. Harding. Your own Law saith, Fornicationis causa nemo hodiè deponendus est: Quia corpora hodiè sunt fragiliora: 2Noman now a days ought to be deprived for Fornication: and that, because our bodies are frailer, then they were wont to be. And therefore, touching that cruel ten years Fast, appointed by Sylvester's Constitution, the Gloss there saithe thus, Potest jeiunare per alium: vel, potest dare numum pro Jeiunio: He may Paste by some other man: or else, He may give a good Penny, and so redeem his whole ten years Fast. But there is graciously added a special proviso In the behalf of him, that shall receive this Penny: Sed debet iste Donarius esse talis, quòd non evincatur ab illo, cui donatur. Alias non contingeret liberatio: But it must be such a Penny, that it be never evicted again by Law from him, that received it. Otherwise he should not be discharged of his penance.
