SECT. VII. How long the performance of promise is to bee excepted.

NOw it may bee demanded what time must be tarried and expected by the Law Ciuill and Common, for per∣implishing of promises made of future Wedlocke: It is answered, that if the limits of time prefixed when the spon∣sion was first made, be once passed and expired: if the vow were made without limitation of time, then (where there appeareth not any weighty cause of stay) if both the par∣ties be residing in one Prouince, the woman quae non vult •ua vo•a diutius delud•, may after two yeares marry to whom she listeth, But if her Spouse be commorant in ano∣ther Prouince, then she must tarry thrée yeares, Though indéede these times of expectance, may be prolonged and lengthened, by a Iudge, as he shall finde cause iust and reasonable.
