The determination of the facultie of diuinitie of the vniuersitie of Paris THe Deane and the facultie of the holye diuinitie of the vniuersitie of Paris to all them vnto whom this pÌ„sent wrytiÌ„g shal come wyssheth safetie in our sauiour Christe whiche is the verye trewe safetie where of late there is rysen a controuersie of great difficultie vpon the mariage betwene the mooste noble Henry the .viij. kynge of Englande defendour of the faythe and lorde of Irelande c. and the moste noble lady Catharine quene of Englande doughter of the Catholike king Ferdinande which mariage was nat onelye contracte betwene her and her former husbande but also consummate and finysshed by carnall intermedlynge this question also was proposed vs to discusse and examine accordynge to Iustice and treuth that is to say whether that to marie her that our brother deade without chyldren hadde lefte be so prohibite by the lawe of god and of Nature that hit can nat be made lefull by the popes dispensations that any christian man shulde marye the wyfe that his brother hath lefte we the foresayde deane and facultie callynge vnto our remembraunce howe vertuous and howe holy a thynge and howe agreable vnto our profession vnto our duetie of loue and charitie hit is for vs to shewe the waye of Iustyce and ryght of vertue and honestie to them whiche desyre to leade and passe ouer their lyfe in the lawe of our lorde with sicker and quiet conscience wolde nat but be redy to satisfie so iuste and honest requestes whervpon after our olde wonte we came to gether vpon our othe in the churche of saynt Maturin and there for the same thynge had a solempne masse with deuout prayer to the holy goste and also we toke an othe euery man to delyuer and to study vpon the foresayde question as shulde be to the pleasure of god and accorgynge to conscience And after diuerse and many sessions or syttynges whiche were had and continued in the churche of seynt Maturin and also in the college called Sorbone froÌ„ the viii day of Iune to the seconde day of Iuly when we hadde serched and examined throwe and throwe with as

Lesiarde bisshop Swessionense you know wel inough saith he that I neuer allowed the maryage betwene Peter the sonne of Geruase and of Galeranes doughter of Brutule and that I neuer gaue counsaile nor dyd neuer consente that it shulde be done Yea whan that Galeran the maides father couÌ„sayled me in this matter I gaue hym counsayle by Drogon clerke vtterly to the contrary that it shuld in no wise be done bycause that suche mariages might not stande if there were any that wolde breake it I added also the sayinge of the lawe that one maÌ„ can not be maried to .ij. sisters likewise as one woman can not laufully be maried to .ij. brothers For Sinegund the sister of this maiden whom this forsayd Peter hath nowe maried was the same selfe Peters wyfe not only made sure and handfaste vnto hym by promysse but also yoked and conioyned by the preestes beneson and prayer And if you lay against me that ther was no yoking or mariages where it is well knowen there folowed no carnall medlinge betwene the man and the woman I answere by the auctorite of the fathers that the yocke and maryage can neuer be vndone seinge there was ones a stedfast conuenant promisse of yoking or mariage betwene them wherfore as saint Augustine sayth the aungell sayde true to good Ioseph Feare not to take Marye thy wyfe to the. for he dyd truely calle her Iosephs wyfe whom he had not knowen by secresye of maryage nor neuer shulde knowe And whan he had brought many auctorities of the fathers to this pourpose the whiche were cited before of Hildebarte It is sayth he a canonicall lawe that no man can marie that woman whiche hath made promisse of mariage to an other man Nor contrarie if the man that hath made promysse wolde be maryed to an other woman For bothe the lawes of god and man forbydde these promysses to be broken Â¶ This same saynte Iuo also writeth to Odon the archidiacon Euen from the begynnynge of the worlde sayde he the sacrament of maryage remaynethe styll as of the lawe of Nature and in no poynt broken nor changed so that nother original sinne or Adams trespas toke that away nor the iudgement of drownyng the worlde wherby synnes and naughty thinges were wasshed away dyd take away or chaunge maryage Therfore that thynge that is ordyned by the coÌ„maundement of god that god wold haue to be vnchaungeable ought not be broken by no mannes commaundement except the mariage were made without consent of the parties or els dampnable of it selfe that is falsely forged and vntrue or els incestuouse and agaynste Nature and kynde That if any of those thinges do chance there must be no delay but suche mariages muste be healed out of hande by departing and diuorse Therfore though the kyng do promisse that he wyll forgyue many displesures done vnto hym and leaue many displeasures that he inteÌ„ded and that he woll do many good thinges and many plesures if he may kepe still for a tyme this woman whiche he vnlaufully hath and the seate apostolyke to be coÌ„tent withal and he to be styl in the company of christian men yet for all that I say and aunswere vnto you thus by the auctorite of god and diuine scripture that it is not possible for him to haue forgiuenes of his synne gyue he neuer so moche or do he neuer so many good dedes in recoÌ„ pence as longe as he hath wyll and minde to abyde in the same synne acordynge to the sayinge of the appostel There is none hoste sacrifyce nor amendes nor forgyuenesse for the synne of them that synne wylfully whiche in other wordes is as moche to say that no persone hauynge wyll and mynde to contynue in his synne can haue forgyuenes of his synne by any maner of almes or by any maner of good dedes or by any maner of offrynge or bestowyng of his goodes wherfore we rede that our lorde also did answere Cain whaÌ„ he offred vp his goodes and for all that did intende murder Yf thou sayde god doste offer a ryght and doste not diuide a ryght thou hast synned Ceasse leaue of as though he had sayd thou dost synne bi cause thou dost not departe diuide wel which dost bring me thy goodes thiÌ„king vpon murder dost take froÌ„ me thyne owne selfe which art better to me thaÌ„ thi goodê Â¶ Her fore also that good Pope Gelasius saythe It is not redde syns Christes relygion began nor there can none example begeuen in the churche of god that this thinge was euer done or euer coÌ„maunded to be done other of any bysshoppes or by the apostels them selfe or els by our lorde sauiour him selfe that any man shulde be assoiled froÌ„ his syn that intended to coÌ„tynue in the same dyd not fully purpose for euer to forsake vtterly to renounce bothe that al other synne or thinge that shuld displese god Â¶ More ouer the same saint Iuo did write vnto HeÌ„ry kyng of EnglaÌ„d that wolde haue maried his doughter to one Hugh a kinsmaÌ„ of his answeriÌ„g iÌ„ this wise Bicause it is not comeli that so noble bloud shuld be steined with so opeÌ„ iÌ„cest that the wyl minde of carnal ê‘sons shuld thorow this bestly exaÌ„ple be encoragid to coÌ„mit like incest mariage again nature kinde for the reuereÌ„ce that we haue vnto you true loue that we bere you we desire to admonisshe your maieste before that while you may do it with your honestie you suffre no such mariage to be made leste that suche mariage seinge it is presumed to be agaynste the lawe be worthily and of right broken and vndone agayn by the lawe And doubtles it becommeth not a kynges maieste to coÌ„mit any suche faulte in his owne persone the whiche ought to be punysshed in other with the rygor and extremite of the lawe For sothe we can in no case swarue from the course and ordre of the lawe If we se our parisshon or one of our diocese coÌ„mitte any abhomination specially in mariage bycause of the decree of the seate apostolike VVE reserue no maner of forgyuenes no maner of perdon or dispensation for incest mariages suche as be against nature and kynde vntil they haue healed their adultery by departynge and diuorce For seynge that we do reuerence and feare the power of temporal kinges moche more we are bounde to reuerence and dred the almighty power of the euer lastynge kynge And by this meanes we may gyue Cesar that is Cesars god that is goddis Â¶ And the same saynt Iuo answered one Geffrey the erle Vindocinense desyrynge to haue to wyfe Matylde vycountesse of Blois whiche was maryed before to one Robert kynsman to the sayde Geffrey I coÌ„maunde sayth he and by the lawe of Christe I forbid the to contract this bestly vnkinde or vnchast mariages which thou canst nother defende by the law nor yet be gette by them laufull heyres that by the lawe

And for orderynge of this power bycause the pope is nat suche one that can not synne nor is not confyrmed in grace Christe hath made his rule of the godspel after the whiche the pope shulde order all his doynges from the whiche rule of the gospel if the pope wolde vary and swarue and wolde grauÌ„te any thinge that shulde be contrary to the preceptes of the same godspell he doth not followe that power that god hath gyuen hym nor god doth not approue that that he doth Â¶ And as for that whiche Pope Innocent Pope Nicolas do saye That it is not lefull for any man to iudge of the iudgement of the seate of Rome nor lefull for any man to reuoke or reuerse the sentence or iudgement of that seate for bicause of the preemynence of the churche of Rome This sayinge of them ought not greatly to moue vs. For we thinke that tho wordes muste be vnderstonde thus That it is not lefull for any inferior power to reason vndiscretly on the iudgement and determination of that seate nor to affirme and holde openly any thinge coÌ„trary to that determination excepte that it be euident and playne that the iudgement of that seate be erroneous wronge As master Gerson writith And that it is not leful for ani inferior person to iudge as it were by auctorite vpoÌ„ the iudgemeÌ„t determinaitioÌ„ made bi the pope as though he had iurisdiction power ouer the pope for bi cause of the preeminence of the seate of Rome But if that any pope do decre any thing ageynst the lawe of nature and goddes lawe there if any maÌ„ do iudge reson of his determinatioÌ„ iugemeÌ„t wisely discretly clarkely not as it ware by auctorite doth labor with all his might that his sentence determination maye be reuoked and called agayne This thynge is as we thynke so far of from sacrilege pride and presumption or any other vice that we beleue there can be nothinge more godlye or more nere vnto the religyon of Christe For doth not the Churche often times by recht and good lawe reuoke correct and reproue the dedes and determinations of the Popes whiche haue not bene very wel and conuenyently done of them or dothe it let to chaunge them and make them better yea furthermore hath not al so meane bisshopes resisted withstoÌ„de the wronge vnreasonable sentencis coÌ„mandemeÌ„tes of the popes not regardinge their cursynges excoÌ„municaotins al punisshemeÌ„tes that the churche doth vse And bycause we will not seke far in histories for an exemple in this matter we shall shewe you a thinge or .ij. that was done here in Englande and in Fraunce here by Â¶ Laurentius successor to Austine in the archebysshopprike of Canturburye after that he had cursed Edbalde the kynge for marienge of his stepmother coulde not be moued by no prayenge nor requeste of the Pope nor by drede of cursynge to absoile the saide kynge tyll he had renounced and forsaken that fylthy and incest mariage Â¶ And Dunstan archebesshop of the said seate folowinge the forsayde Laurence after that he had excommunicat and cursed the erle Edwyn bicause he had maried his brothers wyfe coulde not be moued by no meanes to obei the pope that desired him charged and coÌ„manded hym most sharply and streitely to assoyle the sayde Edwyn vntyl he hadde forsaken his vnlefull wyfe And more ouer it is written that he was euer woÌ„t to haue this saieng in his mouth GOD forbid that I shulde for any mortall man not regarde the lawe of my god Â¶ And thus also Sampson some tyme archebisshoppe of Rein had leauer haue suffered the most extreme punisshementes that coulde be and al ieopardies of excommunicacion and cursynge then he wolde anoynte Alam douchter to the erle Theobald for quene whom at that time Lewes the frenche kynge had maryed bycause he hadde diuorsed before Alams syster from Philip brother to the sayd kynge Lewes by reason of consanguinite Â¶ And no lesse worthy to be remeÌ„bred is that whiche Grosseheed somtime bisshop of Lincolne dydde For when Pope Innocent wolde haue constreyned hym to make the Popes neueu a canon whiche was an vngracious felowe and vtterly vnworthye and vnmete he wrote ageyn these wordes There can no man sayth he beinge subiect and feythfull to the seate of Rome with cleane and pure obedience and not cut of by diuision from the body of Christe and from the same holy seate obey suche commaundementes or any other maner enterprises from whense so euer they came yea and though it were from the highest order of aungels but he muste and is bounde of necessitie both to speake agaynst them and to fyght and rebell ageynst them to the vttermoste of his power Therfore reuerende syr for the duetie of obedience and fidelite that I owe to both my parentes and to the holy seate of Rome and agayne bycause we bothe be ioined to gether as membres in one body of Christe I lyke a catholyke man and as one of the body of Christe and lyke a good childe do not obey but gaynsay and rebell agaynste those thinges that be conteined in your letter bycause they swarue as playnly as can be in to that forsayde synne whiche is to our lorde Iesus Christe mooste abominable and of it selfe moste myscheuous and pestilent and vtterly contrary to the holines of the seate apostolye Nor your wisedome and discretion can not decree any sharpe punisshment agaynste me for this cause if you will do nothynge but that whiche is rycht and resonable Bothe by cause all my sayeng and doing in this behalfe is nother geinsaieng nor geynstriuinge or rebellion but honour reuerence suche as a good childe oweth to his father and his mother and agayne bycause the holines of the seate apostolye can do nothynge but that whiche shulde be to edyfienge and not to destruction Â¶ O the great coÌ„stancy the saieng moste comely for a christian bysshop For howe peruerse a thing what a coÌ„fusion shulde it be as saint Barnarde saith bi obeyeng to euyll nauchtie coÌ„mandemeÌ„tes wherin thou semest to be obedieÌ„t to maÌ„ to shewe thy selfe inobedieÌ„t to god which hath forbiddeÌ„ al that is ill done For if god forbiddeth that whiche man coÌ„mandeth shal I here man and be deafe and not here god Â¶ Therfore that we mai come to our mattÌ„ agein wher as we lefte Truely if the pope do suffre bi his auctorite and power incest mariages to be made or wyll not breake them when they be made which as Gregory saith be abhominable to god to all good men it shall be the dutie of a louing a deuout bisshop not only to withstande the pope openly to his face as Paule dyd resist Peter bicause the pope verili is to be reprehended rebuked but also with all faire meanes gentylnesse and lernynge in tyme and out of tyme oucht to crye vpon hym to rebuke reproue beseche exhorte hym that the
