contractu nuptiali dicendum est; etsi sacris asibus
destinatus intelligatur. Et ratio alia est discriminis
quia contractus nuptialis in foro interno tantum, et

usus ciuilis et visibilis integer atque illibatus
manet. cum ergo inter sit Reipublicae quam maxime
recte miri hanc societatem, quae omnium aliorum cifcilium
societatum prima, et ceterarum fons et origo est; non est
quod praesumamus Christum Magistratibus jus in rem
quandam in quotidiano usu versantem, aqua saepe salus
publica pendere potest) ob superuentum gratiae interpae
adimere voluisse; cum tamen non apparcat, quomodo
potestas secularis cum illa gratia it incompatibilis
Itaque rationem solidam habuit Poncius nullam, cur

licorum doctrina recederet; quam praxi quoque Eccle-
siae conformem infra osterilemus.

voluisse jus in contractum nuptialem cimilem compe

Constat in primitiua Ecclesia usque ad Francorum Re-
gumtempota Ecclesiasticos ne cognitionem quidem
de caussis matrimonialibus magis quam ullis aluis
