Every Bishop must swear to be obedient to Saint Peter, the Apostolic Church of Rome, and to the Pope, to do nothing whereby either of them, or any member of them may be impaired, nor help, counsel, or consent unto any so doing, not to utter their counsel any way sent to them, to any body to their hurt, to retain and maintain the Papacy and the Regalities of S. Peter against all men, honourably to entreat the Popes Legates going and coming, and help them in all necessities, to be ready to come to a Synod being called, without any lawful let, to visit the Palace of the Apostles every third year, by himself, or a Messenger, except otherwise licensed by the Pope, not to sell, give, or lease out any the possessions of his Church without the Popes license, So God help him and the Holy Ghost. By this Oath, the Bishop could do nothing but what the Pope would in general councils, which was the corruption of them.
