CONFORMITY.

It appears by the 14th Canon of the Synod of Epaum, Assembled in the Year 517, That it was practis'd at that time just as our Discipline prescribes; for it ap∣points to him of the Clergy that shall have received any Gratification and Present from the liberality of the Church wherein he liv'd, that he should return it back again, if he be advanced to be Bishop of ano∣ther Church; it appears to me, this cannot be under∣stood, but of the assistance was given him during the time of his studies, seeing that from the very moment any one entred into the Service of a Church, he was to have his support and maintenance from it. It was in this regard Theodolphus, Bishop of Orleans, permitted the Priests of his Diocess, in the Year 797. to send their Nephews, or some of their Relations, unto the School he names, which they shall like best, there to be Taught and Educated. There's something like this in the Seminaries, which the 2d Council of Toledo, as 'twere, founded in the Year 530. and the 4th of the same place, An. 633. Can. 23, or 24. Tom. 4. Conc. Page 588. Not so much as the Council of Trent, but made a Decree in the 29th Session, Anno 1563. for the Establishing these Seminaries, Tom. 9. Conc. Page 409. cap. 18.
