Although in this constitution of Pope Nicolas, this word Concubine may be understanded for no wi•e, but so as Gratian understandeth it in the 16. Canon of the Apostles in these words: Concubina verò intelligenda est praeter uxorem: That is, for one besides a mans wife.1 Then after this Pope Nicholas, coming pope Alexander, and specially Pope Hildebrand,2 do expound this Concubine forbidden, for a wife, and such priests as be married, they expound them for Nicolaitans: for so we read in the Synod of Milan, under Pope Alexander the second:3 Nicholaitae autem dicuntur Clerici, qui contra castitatis Ecclesiasticae regulam foeminis admiscentur. &c.
