& that not without great reason, which even the Ethnic princes saw also. In the digestes de Vacatione & excusatione munerum, in the law Praetor: Ulpianus saith: If a man have ⟨image 269⟩gotten a benefice, neither can hurt of conscience be absent from it, he is acquitted. And Constantine the Emperor, in the Code de Episcopis & Clericis in the law .1. and .2.1 exempteth them from personal and filthy burdens. Personal burdens are those which are accomplished by the industry of the mind and labour of the body. Filthy burdens are those, as to burn lime, to dig sand, to keep the conduit, to heat the bath, and such other of like sort. From these burdens they are worthily exempted, because the ministry by such filthy exercises should come in contempt. And they are made free from personal burdens, because when they should give their minds to holy things, they ought not to be withdrawn to other things. Wherefore princes have rightly granted these things unto Ecclesiastical men, that they should not be absent from the study of religion, and that they should not be contemned of the common people.
& that not without great reason, whiche euen the Ethnike princes sawe also. In the digestes de Vacatione & excusatione munerum, in the law Praetor: Vlpianus saith: If a man haue ⟨image 269⟩gotten a benefice, neither can hurt of conscience be absent from it, he is acquited. And Constantine the Emperor, in the Code de Episcopis & Clericis in the law .1. and .2.1 exempteth them from personall and filthy burthens. Personall burthens are those whiche are accomplished by the industry of the mynde and labour of the body. Filthy burthens are those, as to burne lyme, to digge sand, to kepe the cundite, to heate the bath, and such other of like sorte. From these burthens they are woorthily exempted, bycause the ministery by such filthy excercises should come in contempt. And they are made free from personal burthens, bycause whē they should geue theyr mindes to holy thyngs, they ought not to be withdrawē to other thynges. Wherfore princes haue ryghtly graunted these thynges vnto Ecclesiasticall men, that they should not be absent from the study of religion, and that they should not be contemned of the common people.
