V.Continence is required even in sub deacons. But if in this order, which is the fourth from the Head, this is worthy to be observed, how much more is it to be kept in the first, or second, or third, lest any one be reckoned fit for either the deacon's duties or the presbyter's honourable position, or the bishop's pre-eminence, who is discovered not yet to have bridled his uxorious desires. The election of a bishop must proceed by the wishes of the clergy and people. But to right selections it will be your duty to cause no delay or hindrance, lest the LORD'S flocks should remain too long with their shepherd's care. For whilst we desire proper elections to be hampered by no delays, we yet allow nothing to be done presumptuously without your knowledge.
Bishops are to hold provincial councils twice a year.
Translation from one see to another is to be prohibited. Therefore let each be content with his own bounds, and not seek to be raised above the limits of his present post. X. Bishops are not to entice or receive the clergy of another diocese. For a man is guilty of a serious injury who ventures either to entice or withhold from a brother's church that which is of great use or high value. When the Vicar shall require a meeting of bishops, two from each province will be sufficient.
