In like manner saith Pope Pelagius, Defectus nostri temporis, quibus corpora ipsa hominum defecerunt, 1districtionis illius non patitur manere censuram: The weakness of our time, by mean whereof the very bodies of men are decayed, doth not suffer the rigour of that Law to continue.

Otho Bonus in his Constitution Legantine saith, 1Removeant ipsas intra Mensem: vel ipsas, vel alias de coetero nullatenus detenturi: Let Priests put away their Concubines within a Months jespite: afterward to hold neither them, nor any others in any wise. Whereupon the Gloss, with great conscience, and full discreetly, saith thus, Detenturi, scilicet, per mensem. Alioqui diceremus, quòd propter quancunque momentaneam possessionis detentionem sequentem, hanc gravem poenam incurreret. Quod nimis esset rigorosum, attenta fragilitate nostri temporis: They may not afterward hold (neither the same Concubines, nor any other). Which words you must thus understand: That by the space of a whole Mooneth together he may ⟨p. 364⟩not hold them. 2Otherwise we should say, that a Priest should run into this grievous punishment for any short holding of his Concubine in possession following afterward. Which thing in deed were marvellous rigorous, specially considering the frailty of our time.
