Quaestio illustris.
Anmatrimonia Principum Germaniae Protestanti-
um, in gradibus, solo Canonico jure prohibitis con-
tracta, sint ob defectum Pontificiae dispensationis irrita,
quoad effectum Luris Canonici, nec habeant vineulum

Respondetur, etiam ex ipsis luris Canonici prin-
cipiis, et Ecclesiae praxi, pro validis habenda esse;
ac proinde ab altero contrahentium, ad Ecclesiae gre-
mium renerso, matrimonium aliud, vivente conjuge
priore, valide contrahi non pose.
Auaestio quam aggredior, ad pacem publicam et tran-
quillitatem Germaniae pertinet, quae cum Ecclesiae jure
et conscientiae regulis concilianda est. Duanquam

admittenda esse, saepe tamen mutatur natura rei sub-
jectae, et cessat peccati ratio per publicae necessitatis ex-
cusationem. Hoc loco vero ostendemus, nec Ecclesiae
canorres ullo modo aduersari, et, si facerent, communi
necessitati jus Ecclesia positivum cedere.
Ante omnia autem pro certo habenda est haec
positio: Matrimonia hareticorum cum Catholicis, aut
intes se regulariter esse jure Canonico valida, etiam
