[1092] In Luther's "Von Ehesachen," Werke (Erlang., XXIII, 98), is another interesting passage forcibly describing the danger of bigamy through the confusion wrought by clandestine marriages. The passage is also in Strampff, Luther: Ueber die Ehe, 313 ff.; and it is partly quoted by Sohm, op. cit., 188, 189.

Cap. 1 of the decree of the council for the reform of marriage contains the following: "Cum sancta synodus animadvertat prohibitiones illas propter hominum inoboedientiam jam non prodesse, et gravia peccata perpendat, quae ex eisdem clandestinis conjugiis ortum habent, praesertim vero eorum qui in statu damnationis permanent, dum priore uxore cum qua clam contraxerant, relicta cum alia palam contrahunt et cum ea in perpetuo adulterio vivunt, cui malo cum ab ecclesia, quae de occultis non judicat, succurri non possit, nisi efficacius aliquod remedeium adhibeatur;" also in Waterworth's Canons and Decrees, 196, 197. Compare the passage on the evil resulting from the canon law of marriage in the address with which Hieronymus Ragazzoni opens the last or xxv. solemn session of the council: Theiner, Acta gen., II, 502. See this and other excerpts in Salis, op. cit., 1, 9, passim.
