The civil laws are utterly against the reconciliation of the husband and the wife, after the one hath committed adultery.1 For in the Code ad. l. Juliam de adulteriis in the law Castitati nostrorum temporum it is ordained, that if a man married again a wife condemned of adultery, he incurreth the crime of being a bawd. And in the same title in the law Crimen, it is had, that he which retaineth still in matrimony a wife that hath played the adulteress, can not accuse her of adultery. Although afterward by a new law it was otherwise provided for. Neither was it a light thing to be condemned is a bawd: but it was even as grievous ⟨image 255⟩as if a man had ben condemned of adultery. Yea and if a man retain her that is condemned of adultery, he may him self without an accuser be condemned of adultery. And if a man marry again her whom that he hath once repudiated, he cannot accuse her of the adultery before committed. But if she again commit adultery, he may. Because in marrying her again he seemeth to have allowed her act. And if any woman be condemned of adultery, no man can take her to wife. Wherefore the civil laws do abhor from reconciliation after adultery, so that it be convict and condemned. For if it be only his suspicion, it is lawful for the husband to retain and accuse her whom he suspecteth: Who if he afterward see that he was led by a vain suspicion to accuse her, he may cease from that which he hath begun, so that he first obtain a release of the Judge.
THe ciuil lawes are vtterly against the reconciliation of the husband and the wife, after the one hath committed adultery.1 For in the Code ad. l. Iuliam de adulteriis in the law Castitati nostrorum temporum it is ordeined, that if a man maried againe a wife condemned of adultery, he incurreth the crime of being a bawd. And in the same title in the law Crimē, it is had, that he which retaineth still in matrimonye a wife that hath played the adulteresse, can not accuse her of adultry. Although afterward by a new law it was otherwise prouided for. Neither was it a light thinge to be condemned is a bawde: but it was euen as greiuous ⟨image 255⟩as if a man had ben condēned of adultry. Yea and if a man retayn her that is condēned of adultry, he may him self without an accuser be condēned of adultry. And if a man marie agayn her whom yt he hath once repudiated, he cannot accuse her of the adultry before committed. But if she again commit adultry, he may. Bycause in marieng her againe he seemeth to haue allowed her acte. And if any woman be condemned of adultry, no man can take her to wife. Wherefore ye ciuil lawes do abhor from reconciliacion after adultry, so that it be conuict and condemned. For if it be onely his suspicion, it is lawful for the husband to retayne and accuse her whome hee suspecteth: Who if hee afterwarde see that he was ledde by a vayne supicion to accuse her, hee maye cease from that which he hath begonne, so that he first obteine a release of the Iudge.
