ignorant chaplains, it is ordered that marriages are not to be solemnized 

 except in church and after proclamation of banns during mass on three feast 

 days. Offenders — both priests and contracting ]parties — ii^so facto incur sen- 

 tence of greater excommunication. (5) Since divorces are sometimes obtained 

 for pretended causes and by means of false witnesses, those who wittingly 

 give or procure such false testimony, and judges who wittingly marry persons 

 who cannot lawfully be jouied together, or separate those who are lawfully 

 married, are excommunicated. (6) No. 17 (2) is confirmed, audit is ordained 

 that anyone laying violent hands upon one who has taken sanctuary (even 

 though both be laymen), or causing goods deposited in sanctuary to be removed, 

 is excommunicated. (7) On Good Friday (dies parasceues) rural and secular 

 work shall be abstained from, that the day may be duly observed with 

 fasting and prayer. (8) All persons, clerks and laics, are exhorted, whenever 

 the most Holy Name is pronounced in divine offices, to 'incline mind and head 

 and body very devoutly.' Those who do so shall have ten days' indulgence, 

 namely on all Sundays and double festivals. All ecclesiastical persons 

 present at divine offices are to bow humbly when they say ' Gloria Patri.' 

 (9) The sentences of excommunication contained in no. 17 and these con- 

 stitutions are to be published during Mass in the parish churches yearly 

 on the first Sunday in Advent, Septuagesima, and the Sunday before the 

 festival of St. Peter ad vincula (1 August) by the priests of the places, and 

 also in Cathedral and Collegiate churches on three solemn feast days by three 

 priests vested in albs, and to be explained in the vulgar tongue. (10) The 

 suffragan bishops are commanded to cause these constitutions to be solemnly 

 published and strictly observed in their dioceses, and to be publicly recited 

 in their episcopal synods every year.
