The cause and maner whereof Eusebius most playnly declareth to be on this wise It is said y t in Mysia a city of Phrygia there is a streate called by the name of Ardabau in the which one Montanus who but of late arriued at the christian fayth in the time of y e Procōsulship of Gratus in Asia surprized with the immoderate desire of gouernment gaue him selfe open to the Diuel and being distraught madde began to speake in traunce of minde as if it were vnder colour of Prophecying agaynst the auncient custome and tradition of succession vsed in the Church c. The which Sectaries of their first authour Montanus are called Montanistes or if thou haddest rather of the countrey soyle where this wéede first grew thou mayst call them Cataphrygians There were diuers aduauncers and setters forwarde of this Heresie as Theodo Alcibiades Themistona Alexander c. wyth diuers other Among diuers errors which they taught this is also mentioned of Eusebius Hic est qui coniugia dissoluere docuit that is This Montanus is he that hath taught that Matrimonie may be losed and broken of Which notwithstanding he did not w tout some colour of reason For in the same place he sayth Ostendimꝰ igitur primas istas prophetissas ab eo tempore quo spiritu impletae fuerunt maritos suos reliquisse We haue shewed heretofore that those firste Prophetesses from the first time that they were filled with the same Phanaticall spirite forsoke their husbandes to whome they were coupled The which wicked dede Montanus alowed teaching that for zeale of vowed religion it was lawfull so to doe The summe therefore is that it was lawfull for a woman bycause of zeale and vow of religion to forsake hir husbande This doctrine for diuers reasons is condemned Firste bycause it is directe contrary to the decrée of Christ Quod Deus coniunxit homo non separabit Secondly bycause that if it be so that Matrimonie cōtracted and wherof fayth is plighted per verba de praesenti by wordes sufficient of the presente time may be dissolued then they do wholly dishonour and prophane the christian religion wherevpon the firmitie of euery contracte in fayth plighted standeth Here then it resteth to declare howe the Popish Tatianistes agrée also with Montanus and teache his Gospell Pope Alex. the third as the Decretall Epistles recorde writeth thus to the Byshoppe of Exon. Cōmissum infra Significauit nobis fraternitas tua quod quidam cuidam mulieri de contrahendo matrimonio fidem dedit se cum ea infra biennium per verba de praesenti cōtracturum praestito iuramento firmauit Nunc nutem priuata lege ductus ad frugē melioris vitae suspirat infra Fraternitati t. tali rō quod tutius religioni iuramenti seruata prius contrahere postea si eligerit ad religionem migrare si tamē post dispensationem copula non dinoscitur interuenisse carnalis That is Your brotherhode hath assertayned vs that a certayne man promised a woman that he would contracte matrimonie with hir and that within two yeres next folowing he would by words of the present time perform the same with hir he assured hir by an holy oth But now rather regarding his priuate estate he doth pursue the cōmoditie of a better life c. Thus we doe aunswere to your brotherhode that the surest way is for auoyding of Periurie firste to contract matrimonie and afterwardes if he so choose to enter into religion if that there appeare after the same contract to haue bene no carnall copulation Letting further circumstances passe I pray thée reader marke two special instances in this case of contracte and the minde of the sayde man at both instances First is when he swore made a solemne othe to contract matrimonie with hir and make hir his wife for that is y e nature of verba de praesenti In which time his minde was simple to do as he spake which if it was not what néeded Pope Alexander to haue caused him for sauegarde of his othe after to contracte If before that he had forsworne himselfe as vndoubtedly if he meante not as he swore he had already done But that when he swore he swore with intent to marry both y e Letter of the Decretall the Doctors themselues therein and case are playne The seconde instance is when he according to his oth did contract matrimony At which time of contract if he wil seruare Iuramenti religione kepe his oth without Periurie his minde must be as it was at the time of his othe made namely that those words spoken de tempore praesenti might be so meant as spoken Which if it was not then so meant at the time of pronouncing as at the time of swearing then as before I sayde he is wylfully periured bycause he promised to contract matrimonie which is not performed vnlesse his hearte meane the pronouncing of hys mouth For Aquinas sayth Consensus exterioribus verbis expressus absque interiore consensu nullū matrimonium facit That is Consent giuen by outward words and not inwarde consent is no contract of matrimonie Yea and then the Pope counselling him to sweare with a mouth hipocritically consenting and an heart disagreing and meaning contrary to his words shoulde be authour of that mans renouncing of God and All hallovves if he then swore by any of their Reliques But that he perfourmed his othe contracted very matrimonie and made hir his wife both Pope Innocentius Cardinalis Alexandrinus in Lectura Ab Panor Dom.
