Canon XCI.
One letter to the bishop subject to him, wherein he
prohibits to take money for orders, and to bring merchandize into the
church, which is entrusted with the Body, and Blood of Christ; they had
their pay after the ordination was performed; this he calls an
artifice, and declares, that he who is guilty of it shall depart from
the altar in his country, and go buy and sell the gift of God where he
can.
