This Decree for as much as Gracian doeth allege under the name and title of Pope Nicolas, not naming what Nicolas he was, therefore John Bale and Illyricus, one following the other, and they both following Uolaterane Lib. 22. doth vouch this constitution upon Nicolas the first. The words of Uolateran be these, writing of Nicolas the first: Multa hic utilia constituit, inter quae, nequis Concubinam habenti praesbitero aut sacrificanti interesset, ut testatur Gracianus. &c.

The wordes of Uolateran be these, writing of Nicolas the first: Multa hic vtilia constituit, inter quae, nequis Concubinam habenti praesbitero aut sacrificanti interesset, vt testatur Gracianus. &c.
In like effect follow also the words of Illyricus afore said: Decretum fecit, 1ne quis à Sacerdote Sacramentum su•cipiat, quem sciret habere Concubinam, seu uxorem, and allegeth, as Uolaterane doth, the said Distinction of Gratiam Distinct. 32. Nullus. In alleging whereof both they seem to be deceived, mistaking belike one Nicolas for an other, as may be proved, & made good by three or four reasons.
