Leo IV. made some Additions to these Canons, which were nothing else but Explications of them, or some Clauses to confirm them. But he added four new Canons. The First imports, that no greater number of Priests or Clergy-men be ordained in every Church, t••an is just necessa∣ry. The Second, that Priests should present themselves at the Council of their Bishops. The Third orders, that Lay-men who retain Priests that are Strangers, and employ them against the consent of their Bishop, shall be themselves excommunicated, and the Priests deposed; if upon Admonition, they will not return to their Diocess. The Fourth says, that no Man shall settle Priests in the Churches, but he that hath right to ordain in those Churches, and punish those that are in it, i. e. none but the Bishop of the Diocess.
