Item, Concil. General. 1. Can. 15, 16. Concil. Sardicens. Can. 8, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, & 20. Concil. General. 2. Can. 2, 3. Concil. General. 4. Can. 5. (the Canon Law having adopted that; and the 10 Canon of that Councel, against Plurality of Benefices.) Concil. Antioch. Can. 3. & 11. Concil Carthaginens. 3. Can. 37. Concil. Au∣relianens. 2. Can. 13. Concil. Carthaginens. 5. Can. 5. Cujus haec sunt formalia verba;
Placuit, ut nemini sit facultas, relictâ prin∣cipali Cathedrâ, ad aliquam Ecclesiam in Di••eces•• constitutam se conferre; vel in re¦propria, diutiùs quàm oportet, Constitutum, curam vel frequentationem propriae Cathe∣drae negligere. But what would these Fa∣thers have thought of those Bishops who reside not at all within their own Dio∣cesses, and see their Cathedral but once or twice a year at most? Their Punish∣ment we find in the 80 Canon of the sixth General Councel; Si quis Episcopus, vel eorum qui in Clero censentur, vel Laicus, nullam graviorem habeat necessitatem, vel negotium difficile, ut à sua Ecclesia absit frequentiùs, sed in Civitate agens, tribus diebus Dominicis unà non conveniat: si Clericus est, Deponatur; si Laicus, à Com∣munione separetur.
