1And to prove that sentence. Gracian (in the .36. q. 2. chap. Tria) citeth Jerome, who seemeth to acknowledge three lawful kinds of matrimony. One, when a maiden is given in matrimony to a husband by her Parents or Tutors. An other, if a maiden be oppressed of a man, & her father afterward consent to give her him in matrimony. The third is, if the father consent not to such marriages, but give her unto an other man. These three matrimonies he saith are lawful in the holy scriptures. But in the .27. q. 2. chap. Additur, is by the testimony of Jerome an other kind of lawful matrimony added, namely when a widow, which is not under the power of the Parents, marrieth in the Lord. Hereby Gracian gathereth that Jerome acknowledgeth matrimony between the Rapter & her that is rapt. But I perceive that in the .22. chap. of Exodus, is nothing entreated of rapt, only mention is made of fornication, and not of rapt. For it is said: If he shall by flatteries allure her to lye with him, then hath he liberty given him, that he may take her to his wife, having the consent of the Parents. But if a man had rapt a maiden or man child, then he was judged by the law called Lex Plagii, which is written in Deuteronomy, & testifieth that he should be punished with death, whosoever stealeth a woman or man in Israel. Wherefore there is nothing written in the holy scripture (as far as I see) as touching the establishing & ratifying of such a matrimony
1And to proue that sentence. Gracian (in the .36. q. 2. chap. Tria) citeth Ierome, who semeth to acknowledge three lawful kindes of matrimony. One, when a mayden is geuen in matrimony to a husband by her Parentes or Tutors. An other, if a mayden bee oppressed of a man, & her father afterward consent to geue her him in matrimony. The third is, if the father cōsent not to such mariages, but geue her vnto an other mā. These three matrimonies he saith are lawful in the holy scriptures. But in the .27. q. 2. chap. Additur, is by the testimonye of Ierome an other kynde of lawfull matrimonye added, namely when a widow, which is not vnder the power of the Parentes, marieth in the Lord. Hereby Gracian gathereth that Ierome acknowledgeth matrimonye betwene the Rapter & her that is rapted. But I perceaue that in the .22. chap. of Exodus, is nothing intreated of rapte, onelye mencion is made of fornication, and not of rapte. For it is said: If he shal by flatteries allure her to lye with him, then hath he libertye geuen him, that he may take her to his wife, hauing the consent of the Parentes. But if a man had rapted a mayden or man chylde, then he was iudged by the lawe called Lex Plagii, which is written in Deutronomy, & testifieth that he shoulde be punished with death, whosoeuer stealeth a womā or mā in Israel. Wherfore ther is nothing writtē in the holy scripture (as far as I se) as touching ye establishing & racefieng of such a matrimony
