IN the Election of any Superiors, temporal Abbots and other Officials, Gene∣rals and Abbesses, and other Governesses, that all things may be justly, and without any fraud performed: The Holy Synod doth especially and strictly com∣mand, That all the aforesaid Officers be, and ought to be, Elected by secret Scru∣tiny and Votes: Nor shall Provincials, Abbots, Priors, or any other Titulars whatsoever, be constituted for the making such Election, or to supply and fill up the Voices and suffrages of those that are absent. But if any one shall be Elected contrary to the constitution of this Decree, such Election shall be void; and that person, who shall suffer himself to be created a Provincial, Abbot or Prior for this effect, shall thenceforth be uncapable of any Religious Office; and the Powers granted to them in this behalf, shall (eo ipso) be reckoned as abroga∣ted; and if any other Faculties shall for the future be granted, they shall be esteemed and lookt upon as Surreptitious.
