1Now must we declare what punishments are ordained for rapters. In the Code de raptu virginum et viduarum in the law Vinca, Justinianus entreateth at large of that matter, & maketh the rapt of the persons, which I have before rehearsed, death, so that also the companions, and they which have holpen the rapter, are comprehended in the same punishment. Neither was that thought to be sufficient, but there were invented other punishments more grievous then death. For it is decreed that not only the Judges & Magistrates shall put him to death, but also if the rapter be taken in the wicked act doing by the parents, brethren, kinsfolks, tutor, governor, lord, patron, or finally by him in whose power she is that is rapt, they may kill him, & that without any punishment. It is also ordained, that they which are present with the rapter, & defend him in his filthy act, may also be slain without any punishment to him or them that killeth them.
