The forty-sixth of these canons is—

Si quis obligatus tributo servili, vel aliqua conditione, vel patrocinio

cujuslibet domûs, non est ordinandus clericus, nisi probandæ vitæ fuerit

et patroni concessus accesserit.

_If any one is bound to servile tribute, or by any condition, or by the

patronage of any house, he is not to be ordained a clergyman, unless he

be of approved life, and the consent of the patron be also given._

This canon is taken into the body of the canon law. _Dist._ 53.

Canon xlvii. Si quis servum alienum causâ religionis doceat contemnere

dominum suum et recedere à servitio ejus, durissimè ab omnibus arguatur.

_If any person will teach the servant of another, under pretext of

religion, to despise his master and to withdraw from his service, let

him be most sharply rebuked by all._
