CONFORMITY.
The Church has observed this Order from the First Ages; for the Council of Antioch in the Year 341 for∣bids in the Seventh Cannon, to admit of any Stranger without having Pacifick Letters. The Seventh Cannon of the First Council of Carthage Assembled under Gratus about the Year 348, speaks also more clearly, forbid∣ding plainly both Clergy and Layity to communicate in any other Church without their Bishops Letter; * 1.1 The Author of Apostolical Constitutions prescribes almost the same thing. * 1.2 In the Third Volumne of the French Councils, there is a Synod of Nants, the time it held is somewhat uncertain, the Two First Cannons where∣of are imployed to confirm this same practice.
