CHAP. VIII.

LET the Ordinations of holy Orders, at the times appointed by Law, and in the Cathedral Church, the Canons of the Church being thereunto call∣ed and present, be publickly celebrated. But if it be in any other place of the Diocess to be performed, the Clergy thereof being present, let them, as far as may be judged, go to the more worthy Church. But let every one be ordain∣ed by their own proper Bishop. If any one notwithstanding shall desire to be promoted by another, let that in no wise be permitted him, upon pre∣tence of any general or particular Rescript or Privilege soever, even at the times appointed; unless his Probity and good Manners be recommended by the Testimony of his Ordinary. If it be otherwise done, let the ordainer be suspended from the conferring Orders, and the ordained from the Execution of his Orders so taken, during the pleasure of his own Ordinary.
