The Council of Ravenna in the Year 1286.
BOniface Arch-Bishop of Ravenna on the Eighth of July 1286, Held a Provincial Council in his Me∣tropolis, * 1.1 wherein he made Nine Canons.
By the First he prohibits the Clerks from entertaining or nourishing the Players or Dancers, which are sent to them when their Relations are Advanc'd to Offices, or are Marry'd.
By the Second he exhorts the Ecclesiasticks to give Alms to the Poor, and grants Indulgencies to those who maintain them.
The Third condemns to a Pecuniary Mulct the Clergy who bear Arms without the leave of their Bishop, and without a just and necessary Cause; and those who do not wear a Clerical Habit, Ton∣sure and Crown.
The Fourth orders the Execution of the Thirteenth Canon of the Second General Council of Lions, which obliges those who are Advanc'd to Benefices with the Cure of Souls to take Priests Orders.

The Fifth obliges the Canons to be more constant at Divine Service; orders that there shall be Distributions made, which shall be given only to those who are there present.
The Sixth forbids the Notaries from receiving the Last Wills and Testaments of Usurers, unless in the Presence of a Priest.
The Seventh orders the Prelates to Excommunicate those who refuse to pay Tithes, and that in case the Persons Excommunicated neglect to take off the Excommunication, recourse shall be had to the Secular Power.
The Eighth declares what Cases are reserv'd to Bishops, which are the Absolution of a Major Excommunication, the Absolution of Incendiries, Blasphemers, Murderers of their Children; the Dispensing of Vows; the Absolution of Homicides, Forgers of Deeds, of those who make any At∣tempt on the Immunities and Ecclesiastical Liberties; of Sorcerers; of those who are guilty of Beastiality; of the Incestuous, and those who Debauch'd Nuns; the Cases of Larceny, when one cannot tell to whom Restitution ought be made; Perjurers, and Clandestine Marriages.
The Ninth declares those Persons to be Excommunicated with the Major Excommunication, who under the Pretence of Custom and Privilege, offer any Violence to the Immunities and Liberties of Churches.
