Pope Nicolas the first appointed that this should be the penance of him that hath slain his mother.1 First by the space of an whole year he shall not be suffered to come into the Church, but he shall stand before the church door praying & beseeching god continually to forgive him so heinous & ⟨image 253⟩horrible a sin. Secondly, when the one year is ended, he shall have licence to come into the Church, and to stand among the hearers, but he by no means shall be suffered to come unto the communion or Sacrament of the body and blood of Christ. Thirdly, when the third year is once past, he shall be admitted unto the holy communion. &c. All this time he may eat no flesh, nor presume to drink wine, except it be on solemn feasts and sundays, and from Easter unto Whitsuntide, And whensoever he will take any journey, he may not ride, but go on foot. He may not go unto the wars, except it be to fight against the pagans.
