POpe Innocent III. having Wrote to Peter of Corbeil Arch-Bishop of Sens and his Suffragans, against King Philip Augustus, whom he suspected of supporting his Son Lewis, whom he had Excommu∣nicated, * 1.1 because he carry'd on a War against John King of England, tho' he was Cross'd for the Holy Land; they met at Melun, in the Year 1216. to return an Answer to the Pope, and at the same time made several Orders relating to Church-Discipline. They order, That those who shall continue in a State of Excommunication above a Year and a Day without being Absolv'd, shall be constrain'd thereto by the Secular Power, which shall Seize upon their Persons and Effects. They prohibit a Prior, if he be not a Coventual, from Borrowing more then Forty Sols without the leave of his Abbot. They enjoin the Abbots and Priors to give an Account every Year in the Chapter, of the Income and the Expences of the Monastery. They prohibit them from Borrowing any Summ without the Consent of the Chapter and the Advice of the Bishop, in case the Abbot be absent. And Lastly, they order, the Abbots and Monks to be Habited according to their Quality.
