Pope Calixte the second made a decree, that the church may neither chose an other Bishop,1 nor put him away, nor yet be obedient to the ordinance of any other bishop, so long as her proper bishop is a live, seeing that the Apostle saith: The wife is bound to the law of her husband, so long as her husband liveth. But when he is once dead she is loosened from the law of her husband, so that she may marry with whom she will, so it be in the Lord, that is to say, sayeth he, the church may chose an other Bishop, so that it be done Regulariter, that is, after the order & appointment of our mother holy Church. In the year, &c. 1120. Quaest. 7.5. Sicut alterius.
