Moreover that no man should from thenceforth pay his tithes, where he listed, as the use was tofore, but that all tithes be paid to the mother church of every diocese. Again: that it should not be lawful for any priest to have moe than one benefice with cure. Item, it was decreed in that council, that all persons and Vicars should be called for ever after, Priests, and no more Prelates. In the year of our Lord. 1271. Ranulphus Cestrensis. Chronica. Angl.
