Obiectio.

☞ Thys is true, in them that maye lawful∣ly marry. But in them that haue vowed the cōtrarye, tales nuptie sunt peiores adulteriis. as S. Augustine saith, de bono viduitatis, ca▪ xi. And as Chrisostome sayth, epistola. vi. ad Theodorum monachū. Angelorum enim so∣cietate* 1.1 semel iunetum, illud relinquere, et vx∣oris laquis implicari, adulterii crimen ••••∣currre est, Quamuis frequēter hoc ipsū nup∣tias voces, ego tamen et adulterio tanto pe∣rus illud affirmo, quanto maior ac melior mortalis Angelus.
