XXII.

The Panes of Widows which re-marry shall not be pub∣lished in the Church till Seven Months and half at least after the Decease of their Husband, to avoid the Scandals and inconveniencies may happen by it; unless it so happen that the Magistrates Order may interpose to the contrary.

CONFORMITY.

Herraid Bishop of Touers in his Capitulary of the Year 858, * 1.1 assigns but 30 Dayes, but Photius in the 2. chap. of the 13. Title of his Nomocanon, requires there should be a years mourning before a Woman should marry again, unless the Prince suffer her to marry in the first year of her Widowhood, or that she had not layn In till the end of the year. The Frier Blastares of whom I have so often spoke, proves this same practice by the Laws of Emperours, and also doth Photius, to which our Discipline well agrees.
