OPETIDE

The ancient time of marriage, from Epiphany to Ash Wednesday. Opinio est duplex, scilicet, opinio -vulgaris, orta inter graves et discretos, et quae vultum veritatis habet; et opinio tantum orta inter leves et vnlgares homines, absque specie veritatis. 4 Coke, 107. Opinion is of two kinds, namely, common opinion, which springs up among grave and discreet men, and which has the appearance of truth, and opinion which springs up only among light and foolish men, without the semblance of truth. Opinio quae favet testamento est te nenda. The opinion which favors a will is to be followed. 1 W. Bl. 13, arg.
