let them know that their Consciences are heavily burdened, and they shall have God and their Superiors their Revengers.
CHAP. III.
THE Bishops, even as the Apostolick Deligates, may devide the third part of the Fruits and Revenues whatsoever, of all Dignities, Persons and Of∣fices, appointed for distribution, at their Pleasure; Provided, that they, who obtain them, should not have fulfilled their Service on a certain day appointed, if the Service personally require them, according to the Form prescribed by the same Bishops; let them lose the distribution of that day, nor let them obtain the dominion by any means, but let it be imployed for the building the Church, as far as it shall be needful, or to some other pious place, at the pleasure of the Ordinary. A contumacy arising thereupon, let them proceed against them, according to the Institution of the holy Canons. But if the Jurisdiction, Ad∣ministration or Office, do not belong to any one of the foresaid Dignities in the Cathedral or Collegiate Churches, but remain without the City, in the cure of Souls of the Diocess, on whom he would have it incumbent, who obtaineth the Dignity; then for the time, in which he should have resided in the provided Church, and Ministred, let him be accounted as present, and present at di∣vine things in Cathedral and Collegiate Churches. Let these things be under∣stood, only to be appointed in those Churches in which there is no Custom or Statute, whereby he might come to the said third part of the Fruits and Reve∣nues, that the said Dignities not imployed may lose any thing; the Customs, even immemorable, Exemptions and Constitutions, even confirmed by Oath or any Authority, notwithstanding.
CHAP. IV.
WHosoever in a Cathedral, a Collegiate, Secular or Regular Church, im∣ployed in divine Offices, is not ordained a Sub-deacon at least, let him not have a Vote in the Convention of such Churches, although his allowance might be granted freely by others to him: But for those who obtain Dignities, Personages, Offices, Tithes, Portions, or any other Offices in the said Chur∣ches, or shall obtain for the future, on which divers burdens are annexed; namely, as that some say Mass, others the Gospel, others the Epistles, or Sing, with what Previledges, Exemptions, Prerogative, or Nobleness of Extraction so∣ever marked, Let them be obliged, lawful impediment ceasing, to take upon them the necessary Orders within a Year, otherwise to incur the Penalties, according to the constitution of the Council of Vienna, which begins, Ʋt is qui; which is renewed by this present Decree. And let the Bishops appoint them the said Orders by themselves, on days appointed, and all the other Offices, which they ought to ••••rform in divine Worship, upon the same Penalties, and others worse to be in••••••••ed at their Pleasure. Nor let there be any Provision for the time to come,
