1But to make the thing more plain, we will thus divide children: namely that there are some which are lawful, and not natural, as they that are adopted. Other some there are which were natural, and not lawful, as they which are born of Concubines. (But here I speak of Concubines after the manner of the Romans: For as touching the Hebrews, they which were born of them, were legitimate).2 And there are other which are both legitimate and natural, as they which are borne in just matrimony. Lastly, there are some which are neither legitimate nor natural, as are bastards. A bastard is he, which can not tell who is his father, or if he can tell, it is one, whom it is not lawful for him to have to his father, as it is written in the Digestes de statu personarum, in the law Vulgo concepti. There is a great difference between the conditions of children: but we, as touching this matter that we have in hand, will neither entreat of children adopted, nor of children legitimate natural, but only of natural children, and bastards, which seem to be more obscure then the other.

Lastly, ther are some which ar neyther legitimate nor naturall, as are bastardes. A bastard is he, whiche can not tell who is his father, or if he can tell, it is one, whom it is not lawefull for him to haue to his father, as it is written in the Digestes de statu personarum, in the lawe Vulgo concepti.
