Answ. If upon the hazard of his Conscience in want of the remedy, any liberty of second marriage, be to be granted unto him by the Church or Civill Magistrate; (as indeed here in ⟨p. 221⟩England there is not;) divers restraints, in this Case, must be observed.
Answ. If vpon the hazard of his Conscience in want of the remedie, any libertie of second mariage, bee to bee granted vnto him by the Church or Ciuill Magistrate; (as indeed here in ⟨p. 221⟩England there is not;) diuers restraints, in this Case, must be obserued.
First, no such liberty is to be granted, so long as the matter remains uncertain, whether they may be reconciled, specially while the party innocent liveth in single life. Secondly, it must evidently appear, that the said offending party hath earnestly repented him of his sin, before he can either be received into the Church, or admitted to a second marriage. Thirdly, this liberty is not to be granted him either presently, or unadvisedly; but upon frequent and serious admonition, rather to give himself to mourning and lamentation, and still to remain alone, then to desire again to enjoy the benefit of that state, which he hath already so shamefully abused.
