Again in your Decrees it is written thus, 1Quaecunque Clericis taliter coniunctae sunt, auferantur ab Episcopo, & Venundentur: What so ever women have such Company with Priests, let them be removed by the Bishop, and sold, and made slaves. Unto ⟨p. 365⟩this Law being in it self over rigorous, 2the Gloss addeth this favourable Construction: Venundentur: verum est, si contrahunt cum illis, tanquam cum uxoribus. Aliàs non concedo, posse vendi propter simplicem Fornicationem: Let them be sold, and made slaves. This is true, if the Priests marry with them, as with their wives. Otherwise I grant not, that for Simple Fornication they may be sold.
