If the Bisshop wil not, or doe forslovve to heare and to decide the controuersies of his Cleargy: the Bisshop being slowe or tarying ouer longe, nothing dooth hinder or stay (saith the Canon) to aske Episcopale Iudicium, the bisshoply iudgement of the Emperour. If it happen that the Priests be not diligent a∣bout the Aultar offices: if concerning the temple, neglecting the Sacrifices, they hasten into kings palayces▪ runne to wrast∣linge places, doe prophane them selues in brothelles houses, and yf they conuert that which the faithful haue offred, to the pleasures of them selues, and of theirs: wherefore shal not the Princes, whome the Catholique Faith hath be∣gotten, and taught in the bosome of the Church, cal againe, and take vpon thē selues the care of this mat∣ter? and so proueth at large by many examples out of the Histo∣ries, and the Lavves, that this care and charge in Ecclesiasticall (.487.)* 1.1 matters and causes belongeth to the Princes, vnto the vvhich examples, he addeth this: In our Fathers tyme (saith he) Kinge Lewes .11. made a constitution, that Arche∣bisshoppes, Bisshops, Abbottes, and who so euer hadde dignities in the Church, or had the cure of other bene∣fices, should within fiue monethes, resorte to their Churches, and should not remoue any more frō thēse, diligently there labouring in diuine matters, and sa∣crifices for the faulfty of the king and his kingdome, and that vnder a great paine of losing all their goods and lands. Here Quintinus doth greuously complain of the dissolute and moste * 1.2 corrupt maners of the Cleargy, vvhereto he addeth, saying: VVherefore than should not Princes cō∣pell this Iewde idle kinde of men to do their dueties?
