DEiectio de dignitate, vel vt vulgo loquuntur depriuatio, quoniam singularem quandam inter poenas ecclesiasticis legibus constitutas acerbitatem habet, maximis & teterrimis vitijs est reseruanda. Quapropter ista securis in homicidis, adulteris, & huiusmodi consceleratis personis
defigatur, cum manifestis iudicis depraehensa fuerit illo∣rum immanitas.
CVm episcopus in amittendi status sui periculum venit, archiepiscopum & duos episcopos alios arbitratu nostro sumi volumus, moribus & doctrina praestantes viros, qui iudicium hoc exercebunt: & hij totam rem diligenter in∣spectam & consideratam prudentia & pietate sua definiāt.
QVando cuiquam vel diripi dignitas, vel eripi beneficiū ecclesiasticum formula depriuationis debet, principio proprius illum episcopus ad se rite euocet: deinde ad reli∣quum omne negotium pertractandum episcopus adsit, & duos ad se doctos & integros praesbyteros asciscat, quorum authoritate & decreto stari placet.
SEntentia depriuationis, quoniam cruenta est, & totum hominem conficit, tam horribile telum nec in veneran∣dum episcopi statum intorqueatur, nec in sanctum ordinem quarumcun{que} personarum ecclesiasticarum mittatur, nisi reus vel trium vocibus idoneorum & locuple∣tum testium conuincatur, vel se ipse iudicet, vel re tam euidenti & perspicua coarguatur, vt nul∣lam omnino dubitationem habere possit.
