Again the same Otho saith, 1Ordinamus, ut, si contra hoc praesumpserint venire, ab officio, & beneficio sint suspensi: We ordain, that, if any Priest do contrary hereunto (living incontinently, contrary to this Constitution) that then he be suspended, as well from his Benefice, as from his Office. Hereunto your Gloss addethe, Rigorosa quoque esset haec poena, nisi esset pro Adulterio, vel incestu: Etiamsi Episcopus esset huiusmodi labens: And this punishment also were over rigorous, onlesse it were for Adultery, or Incest: (For he may not so be punished for Fornication) Yea although the party so falling were a Bishop. And again in the same Glose, Propter solam Simplicem Fornicationem, de benignitate Canonica, non debet Clericus deponi, vel privari: Licet secùs fortè de Canonis rigore: By the Courtesy of the Canons, only for Simple Fornication, a Priest may not be deposed from his Office, or deprived from his Benefice: Al be it, perhaps by the rigour, or extremity of the Canons, it would be otherwise. 2The very true cause hereof is more plainly expressed in your own Gloss upon the Decretalles: Quia pauci sine vitio carnis inueniuntur: For without the vice of the flesh there are but few (Priests) to be found.
Againe the same Otho saithe, 1Ordinamus, vt, si contra hoc praesumpserint venire, ab officio, & beneficio sint suspensi: VVee ordaine, that, if any Prieste doo contrarie hereunto (liuinge incontinently, contrarie to this Constitution) that then he be suspended, as wel from his Benefice, as from his Office. Hereunto your Glose addethe, Rigorosa quoque esset haec poena, nisi esset pro Adulterio, vel incestu: Etiamsi Episcopus esset huiusmodi labens: And this pounishemente also were ouer rigorous, onlesse it were for Aduoutrie, or Inceste: (For he maie not so be pounished for Fornication) Yea although the partie so fallinge were a Bishop. And againe in the same Glose, Propter solam Simplicem Fornicationem, de benignitate Canonica, non debet Clericus deponi, vel priuari: Licet secùs fortè de Canonis rigore: By the Courtesie of the Canons, onely for Simple Fornication, a Priest maie not be deposed from his Office, or depruied from his Benefice: Al be it, perhaps by the rigoure, or extremitie of the Canons, it woulde be otherwise.
