Ad CAP. XXXIX

23 PRolem ante matrimonium.] This point of Ciuill law, is text in C. tit. de Naturalibus lib. l 10. cum quis. Quomodo (saies Iustinian) non est iniquissimum ipsam stirpem secundae posteritatis priorem quasi in∣iustam excludere, cum gratias agere fratrib{us} suis posteriores debeant, quorum beneficio ipsi sunt iusti filij, & nomen & ordinem consecuti. For the birth of the first is often cause of the mariage following. But it is limited by some Doctors, that the woman be before in concubinatu, in familia retenta, that there be indubitatus affectus sicut in vxore &c. as you may see in Bartol. ad finem π. de Concu∣binis. Mynsinger. ad Instit. de Nuptijs §. Ali∣quando. Gothofred. ad Nouell. 89. cap. 15. The Canon law agrees with the Ciuill in this matter, as is shown in an Epistle of Pope Alexander 3. to the Bishop of Exce∣ster in Ext. tit. Qui filij sint legit. c. 6. Tanta est vis.
