The Council of Verneuil.

IN the same year 844, a Council was held at Verneuil, in which, Ebron, Bishop of Poictiers was * 1.1 President, with Wenilo, Arch-bishop of Sens, Hincmarus, Arch-bishop of Rheims, and the Abbot of S. Dennys, who assisted at it, bore the Character of the King's Commissioners. The Council addresses their Constitutions to King Charles. First of all they exhort him to mix Severity with Mercy, and Govern his people with Justice. They pray him to send his Commissioners to appre∣hend, and punish those disorderly Clergy-men, who contemn Apostolick Discipline, and break the Holy Canons, to hinder several Monks, that they abandon not their Profession, to compel certain wandring Monks, and Clergy-men to return to their Monasteries and Churches, to Nominate a Bi∣shop for the Church of Rheims, and confirm the Ordination of Agius to the Church of Autun; to Adjourn the Debate about the preference granted to Dreux the Bishop of Metz, to a more Nu∣merous Council out of France and Germany; and lastly, to cause those Revenues of the Church to be Restored, which Lay-men have unjustly possessed themselves of.
