The Frier Blastares in his Alphabetical Collection of Cannons, is of the same mind, * 1.2 as he explains himself in the 8th. Chap. of the Letter B. However our Disci∣pline that condemns such a marriage, nevertheless suffers it to be celebrated if the Magistrate appoints it.
The Council of Tribur, * 1.3 which was formerly one of the Kings Houses, not far off of Mayance, this Council assembled Anno Dom. 895, under the Emperor Arnulphus, made this Decree, which agrees very well with that I now Examin; We appoint and publish by one consent, ac∣cording to the difinitions of Cannons, that if any one has committed Adultery with another Woman during her Hus∣bands Life, and that this Husband comes to die, this un∣lawful access shall be forbidden him by Judgment of the Synod▪ to the end he should not marry her with whom he had before committed Adultery; for we will not, and 'tis not sutable to the Christian Religion, that any one should take to wife her whom he had before defiled with Adultery: and as for the Cau∣tion given by our Discipline in regard of the Magistrate, the Fathers of Tribur have not passed it in silence; for in the manner they speak to King Arnulphus in the preface, they give plainly to understand, that they were perswad∣ed that it was a civil case, wherein the Prince might Ex∣ercise his Power.
