Gregorius Papa septimus Hildebrandus, celebrata Synodo, Symoniacos 1anathematizavit, uxoratos sacerdotes à Divino removit officio, & Laicis Missam eorum audire interdixit, novo exexemplo, & (ut multis visum est) inconsiderato praeiudicio, contra sanctorum patrum sententiam, &c. The English is this: Pope Gregory the seventh called Hildebrand holding a Synod, accursed, such as committed Simony, and removed married Priests from saying service, forbidding also the lay men to hear their Mass, after a new and strange example, & as many thought, after an unconsiderate prejudice, against the sentence of holy fathers.
