should be Dissolved for insufficiency of the Husband, * 1.1 being complained of by the Wife and duely proved, to whom the Synod permitts to do what she will, that is to say, * 1.2 to re-marry: Pope Stephen the second however two years after, prohibits separation for cause of insuffici∣ency, nevertheless he orders dissolution if one of the par∣ties be tormented with the Devil, or infected with Le∣prosie, wherein he followed not the sentiment of Gregory the second his Predecessor, * 1.3 who about 30 years before suffered a man to separate from a woman who was insuffi∣cient, and to re-marry with another.

Book of Capitularies of Charlemain, gives the same liberty to the woman, if the man be insufficient, which Isaac Bishop of Langres repeats in the 13th. chap. of the second Treatise of his Cannons. * 1.4 Photius a Writer of the 9th. Cenury and Patriarch of Constantinople, speakes no otherwse in the 13th. Title, chap. 4th. of his Nomo∣canon; Its true he requires this separation be made after having suffer'd three years her Husbands insufficiency, and in the first of his Letters taken out of an Ancient Eastern Manuscript, he sets down insufficiency as a lawful cause of separation, with free liberty to the other party, whither the Man, or Woman, to re-marry.
