Council VII. of Toledo.

THIS Council was held in 646, under King * 1.1 Chisdavind, and composed of Twenty Five Bishops. * 1.2

The 1st Constitution is against Perfidious and Disloyal Clerks.

By the 2d, A Bishop, or a Presbyter, is permitted to finish the Celebration of a Mass be∣gun, if he that is Officiating falls ill, and is not able to hold out to the end; but it forbids Presbyters, upon pain of Excommunication, to leave the Holy Mysteries imperfect, or to Celebrate after having taken the least Food.

The 3d, Renews the Canon of the Council of Valentia, about the Bishops Funerals.

The 4th, Is against the greediness of some Bishops of Gallicia, oppressing the Parsons of their Diocess. They are forbidden by that Canon to take above two Pence per Annum of each Church in their Diocess; to bring along with them in their Visitations more than Five persons, and to stay above a Day in any Church.

The 5th Canon appoints, That Hermits, or Recluses, that are ignorant, or whose Life is not Vertuous enough, shall be shut up in Monasteries; that those only shall be let alone, who are commendable for their Holiness, and that for the future, none shall be admitted to that Profession, but such as have learned the Religious Life in Monasteries.

The last Canon imports, That the next Neighbouring Suffragans of the Arch-Bishop of Toledo shall come every Month into that Town, except in Vacation, and Vintage-times.
