Pope John the .xxii. made a decree, that whosoever did affirm, that Christ and his Apostles had no possessions neither in proper nor in commune,1 the same should be taken for an heretic. Again, that whosoever did hold this opinion, that it was not lawful for Christ and his Apostles to enjoy those things, which the Scripture testifieth that they had, ⟨image 244⟩nor to give them, nor by the occupying of them to get & win more for the maintenance of their living: he likewise should be adjudged an heretic. Of this it followed,2 that many Friars and Nuns of Fraunces order were burnt as heretics in divers places of the world in resisting this decree of the Pope for the maintenance of their monastical and wilful poverty. In the year of our Lord. 958. Math. Palmer, Joan. Laziard.
