The Third Council of Tours, in the same year.

THe Prelates of the Province of Tours took no less care than the other Bishops to Reform * 1.1 the Lives of the Clergy, and the Discipline of the Church. In a Council that was con∣ven'd in that Town, in the same year 813, they made Fifty one Canons upon the same Sub∣jects. The Bishops are charg'd by them, to Instruct themselves and others; to lead a Sober, Modest Life; to abstain from Games, Shows, and Hunting; to take care of the Poor, &c. The same is enjoyn'd the Priests, and other Clergy-men. 'Tis forbidden to bestow the Order of Knighthood on any Man, before he be Thirty years of Age. In short, most of the Ca∣nons mention'd in the foregoing Councils are treated of in this.
