Whereby it doth evidently appear, that priests in those days were married and had their lawful wives.1 The like before that in king Ina's time is plain, that Bishops then had wives and children, as appeareth by the words of the law then set forth, extant in the history of the said Jornalensis, which be these: Si quis filiolum alterius occidat vel patrinum, sit simile cognationi, & crescat emendatio secundum Weram eius Regi, 2sicut cognationi. Si de parentela sit qui occidit eum, tunc excedat emendatio patrini, sicut manbota Domini. Si Episcopi filiolus sit, sit dimidium hoc, &c.
