And if thou wilt demand, whether the Roman law allowed Concubines ⟨image 161⟩or no.1 I will answer, that they did absolutely allow them, because they condemned, not having of Concubines as a thing unlawful, so that it were used as before is said. Yet it shadowingly reproveth that conjunction, when as it suffereth not the children borne of Concubines to be lawful & just heirs, unless at the length of a Concubine she should become a wife, or unless it be by the authority of the prince. Howbeit we must know that the children of a Concubine, were admitted unto a certain little portion of inheritance, but yet not to a like and equal portion with the legitimate. Yea and the children borne of a concubine, are not in the power of the father. But when of a Concubine she is made a wife, then it was necessary that there should be tables of Matrimony.
