LIV.

Vagabonds, that is to say, those which have no vocation, and that intrude into the Ministry, shall be suppressed; and whatsoever the Provincial Synods do, as to prohibiting the Ministry, it shall have the same virtue and effect, as if the National Synod had enjoin'd it.

CONFORMITY.

The 6th Canon of the first Oecumenical Council of Constantinople, may well be applied to this Article, see∣ing it was made against those which endeavour to con∣found and overthrow the Ecclesiastical Order; In the year 752. was held a Council at Verberie in Valois, * 1.1 (it was a Royal House in the Diocess of Soissons near Champaigne). The 14th Canon of which, is against wandring and straying Bishops. The 22d of that of Mayence in the year 813, in the same Volume, pag. 281. is also against wanderers; as also the 101st. of the Synod of Aix la Chappelle, in the year 816. the same, page 376. And to conclude, the 5th of the 2d Council of Toul, Assembled at Tousi, in the same Diocess, Anno Dom. 860. by Order of Charles the Bald, and of Lothaire; to all these Canons may be added, the 13th of the Sy∣nod of Vernon, under Pepin, in the Year 755.
