So then if while her husband liveth
True indeed it is, that whilst her husband is alive, if
she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress;
she will be noted and accounted of as such everybody, except in the above mentioned cases:
but if her husband be dead;
then there can be no exception to her marriage:
she is free from the law;
of marriage, by which she was before bound:
so that she is no adulteress;
nor will any reckon her such; she is clear from any such imputation:
though she be married to another man;
hence it appears that second marriages are lawful.
