The third Council of Lyons.

THe Archbishop of Lyons, and seven other Prelates of France, were present at this Council, to∣gether with some Deputies, in the Year 583, in the Month of May: They made six Ca∣nons.

By the first, Clergy-men are forbidden to keep in their Houses strange Women, and those who are oblig'd to Celibacy are forbidden to have any familiarity with their Wives.

The second ordains, That care shall be taken to signifie in the Letters which are granted to recom∣mend Captives, the day of their date, the Price which is agreed upon, the Necessity of the Captives, and that care shall be taken to authorize them by Subscriptions which cannot be suspected.

The third decrees Excommunication against the Nuns who go out of their Monastery.

The fourth renews the Canons against forbidden Marriages.

The fifth forbids Bishops to celebrate the Feasts of Easter and Christmas any where but in their own Church.

The sixth ordains Bishops to take care of the Lepers of their Diocese, and to give them something to clothe and maintain them, that they may not run from City to City.
