verum mihi istas quaestiones priuatim defmire neque
necessarium videtur, neque tutum. Praestat, supremam
curam Ecdlesiae atque animarum DEo relinquere, cuius
misericordia nullis limitibus circumscripta semper
aget, quod in summa fieri praestat. Interca tutissimum
est, a linea ordinationis non discedere quae per
Apostolorum successores continua propagatione grati-
am ministerii ad nor usque deduxit.
Postremum superest Matrimonii sacramentum
quod ex primaua institutione atque destinatione DEI
pariter et contrahentium esse viius viri atque oni-
us foeminae coniunctionem inseparabilem, Christus
optimus divinae legis interpres doruit. Nihilo-
minus dispensatione diuina in veteri Testamento
concessa est polygynia, sive ut uni viro multas
simul vxores habere permitteretur; itemque pote-
stas divortii, ut discedere a se invicem coniuges, et
aliud coniugium inire possent. Christus autem mo-
nuit, hoc non nisi ob duritiam cordis hominum fuisse
concessum, adeoque ex diuina lege rectius intermitti.
Merito igitur in Ecclesia sublata est polygamia, quam
nulla hodie intersnos necessitatis ratio excusare
potest
