2 Colui che per la redenzione del gregge del Signore non ebbe orrore di immolarsi sull'ara della croce come prezzo, e che dopo la sua morte e la risurrezione dai morti, apparendo più volte ai testimoni prescelti, infine dovendo ascendere al Padre, non volendo lasciare orfani i suoi discepoli, li visitò con la consolazione dello Spirito Santo paraclito, volendo che fossero ospitali gli uni verso gli altri, e aveva ordinato di implorare i doni della carità, che supera tutte le altre virtù. Noi, sebbene immeritevoli, esercitando le veci in terra, benché per dovere dell'ufficio pastorale la nostra mente, per l'occasione delle cose che sopraggiungono di volta in volta, si volga a molteplici pensieri, siamo continuamente afflitti da assidui affanni, affinché i Giudei e gli infedeli dalla loro cecità ebraica si convertano alla conoscenza della vera luce, e convertiti siano istruiti nella fede cattolica, e affinché gli ospedali e i luoghi deputati a ciò pervengano a un salutare stato di osservanza dell'ospitalità, e affinché i voti dei fedeli concorrano a promuovere ciò; i fedeli stessi li seguiamo per mezzo della confraternita spirituale come membra aderenti al loro capo, con un vincolo di cose spirituali e con doni attraenti, affinché da ciò diventino più idonei alle grazie divine. § 1. Invero, da parte del diletto figlio Giovanni di Jorano, Rettore della Chiesa Parrocchiale di San Giovanni di Mercato della Regione Campitelli dell'Urbe, a Noi recentemente presentata una petizione conteneva che, poiché ad onore dell'Onnipotente Dio e di tutta la corte celeste, a lode e gloria e all'esaltazione e incremento della fede ortodossa, alcuni Ebrei o Giudei divinamente ispirati, rigettata la tenebrosa cecità da cui allora erano trattenuti, si sono convertiti alla conoscenza della vera luce, e sono stati battezzati nel lavacro del battesimo, e per i diversi doni e grazie concessi loro dalla benignità della Sede Apostolica, moltissimi altri Ebrei e Giudei accesi da simile desiderio desiderano rigettare la medesima cecità e riconoscere la vera luce stessa, e nella detta Urbe non esista alcun luogo in cui gli stessi Giudei e infedeli convertiti dalla cecità giudaica alla fede di Cristo possano essere ricevuti, da parte del detto Giovanni a Noi fu umilmente supplicato, affinché presso la detta Chiesa gli concedessimo licenza di far costruire un Monastero per fanciulle e un Ospedale per uomini Giudei convertiti, e altrimenti nelle premesse opportunamente provvedessimo della benignità Apostolica.

3 § 2. Noi dunque, reputando che nei nostri tempi tanta grazia dal divino Altissimo per miracolo a Noi, benché con meriti ineguali, sia stata concessa, e rendendo su ciò al medesimo Altissimo le grazie che possiamo, e confidando nel Signore molto nella fede e integrità, nonché nello zelo delle buone opere del predetto Giovanni, inclinati da queste supplicazioni, al predetto Giovanni concediamo la facoltà di erigere un Monastero e un Ospedale presso la detta Chiesa nel luogo a ciò designato, un Monastero per fanciulle e un Ospedale sotto l'invocazione di San Giuseppe, o di altra invocazione quale al medesimo Giovanni parrà, per uomini Giudei e infedeli di qualunque genere che vorranno spontaneamente e liberamente convertirsi alla medesima fede, nei quali possano essere ricevuti e trattati caritatevolmente, dai beni concessi al medesimo Giovanni da Dio, e dalle elemosine dei fedeli cristiani concesse e da concedersi a ciò, costruendo e facendo edificare, con autorità Apostolica per il tenore dei presenti, dalla nostra certa scienza e dalla pienezza della potestà apostolica, concediamo licenza e facoltà. E quelli, dopo che saranno costruiti, in Monastero e Ospedale dei medesimi Giudei convertiti, senza pregiudizio di alcuno, perpetuamente erigiamo e istituiamo, e ad essi per loro dote beni quali che siano da erogarsi e da lasciarsi perpetuamente applichiamo e appropriamo. § 3.

29 Esige il dovere del nostro Ufficio pastorale, al quale per disposizione del Signore presidiamo, che sollecitamente attendiamo a quelle cose per le quali i Monasteri e altri luoghi Religiosi, per mezzo del nostro ministero, siano salutarmente diretti, e in essi si osservi la norma della disciplina regolare, e ogni istituzione di buona vita con il premio della vita eterna sia salutarmente compiuta.

30 §. 1. Essendo stata presentata a Noi poco fa per parte dei diletti figli Girolamo Pacifico di Sassoferrato Monaco e uno dei moderni Definitori dell'Ordine di S. Benedetto, della Congregazione Silvestrina, e dei Priori, Rettori dei Priorati e Benefici del medesimo Ordine e Congregazione, una petizione che conteneva quanto segue. Che altrimenti il Priorato dell'Eremo del Monte Santo Camerinense della Diocesi del medesimo Ordine e Congregazione essendo allora in certo modo vacante, allora i Definitori, Priori e Rettori dei Priorati e Benefici predetti, o la loro maggior parte, riuniti capitolarmente a Roma in ardente venerazione del nostro venerabile fratello Giovanni Domenici Vescovo di Ostia, Protettore della detta Congregazione, per nostro mandato, il predetto Girolamo, dell'Ordine loro espressamente professo, nel luogo e del detto Priorato Priore per la sua vita, secondo i privilegi e gli indulti Apostolici, a loro o al loro Ordine su ciò concessi, o altrimenti lo elessero e deputarono, e forse altrimenti e altre cose fecero, come nelle loro lettere patenti su ciò redatte si dice più pienamente contenuto, la Congregazione

E tuttavia coloro che consapevolmente eleggono, incorrano nella sentenza di scomunica, né nemmeno questo triennio possa essere prorogato.

50 222 Paolo Terzo An.IX. an. ch. tempore Prior esistente, finito il suo triennio del suo successore in Priore eletto, e due per il Capitolo predetti, nominati e deputati, riservata a sé annua pensione di venticinque scudi per i vestimenti e altre cose necessarie, dedotte le spese, assegnata a sé per i predetti Giovanni Cardinale e Protettore, e Capitolo, ragione dei rimanenti per lui durante questo triennio amministrati, dovranno rendere conto.

51 §.10. E affinché i Priori o Rettori dei Priorati e benefici dell'Ordine e Congregazione di questo tipo, non possano in alcun modo essere confermati nei loro Priorati e benefici oltre il triennio, stabiliamo e ordiniamo in perpetuo.

52 §.11. E inoltre da ora qualunque collazione e provisione, o commende, e qualunque altra disposizione, di qualunque persona, anche Cardinali della S.R.E., del detto Priorato, anche fatte per la Sede Apostolica di volta in volta, siano di nessuna forza o momento, e così per qualunque Giudici, anche Cardinali della medesima S.R.E., tolta a essi qualunque altra autorità e facoltà di giudicare e interpretare, debbano essere giudicate e definite, e inoltre qualunque cosa diversamente su questi da chiunque con qualunque autorità, consapevolmente o inconsapevolmente sia stata tentata, dichiariamo irritum e vano. §.12. Perciò ai diletti figli Abate del Monastero di Santo Biagio e di San Venanzio, e di San Nicola di Fabriano, della Diocesi Camerinese, delle Chiese farciarie e Collegiate esistenti Definitori e Priori e Rettori, dello stesso Ordine e Congregazione, o di alcuno di essi, se saranno stati richiesti, solennemente pubblicando, e assistendoli nel presente con il presidio di efficace difesa, facciano con la nostra autorità la revoca, riduzione, approvazione e confermazione, soppressione, statuto, ordinazione e decreto predetti fermamente osservare, e i singoli, che i presenti riguardano, permettano loro di goderne pacificamente, non permettendo che siano indebite molestati su questo da chiunque in qualunque modo, comprimendo i contradittori con la nostra autorità, postposta l'appellazione.

53 §.13. Non ostante quanto sopra detto, e nonostante le Costituzioni e Ordinazioni Apostoliche, e del Priorato e dell'Ordine predetti, anche confermate con giuramento, con conferma Apostolica, o con qualsiasi altra fermezza, gli statuti e le consuetudini, nonché qualunque privilegio, indulto e lettera Apostolica concessi al medesimo Ordine, e ai suoi luoghi e persone, in genere e in specie, sotto qualunque tenore e forma, e con qualunque clausola, anche derogatoria di derogatori, e altre più efficaci e insolite, nonché irritanti e altri decreti, anche a titolo di statuto perpetuo, anche Motu proprio e da certa scienza e dalla pienezza della potestà Apostolica, anche concessi, approvati e innovati più volte, sebbene per qualunque lettera Apostolica, anche contenente clausole derogatorie di derogatori e insolite, non potesse in alcun modo essere derogato, né considerato derogato, se non nei modi e nelle forme in esse contenute, disponendo la deroga in tal modo. A sufficiente deroga di tutti questi, e di essi e dei loro interi tenori, dovrebbe farsi menzione speciale, specifica, individua, non espressa, e da parola a parola, non però mediante clausole generali che importino lo stesso, o dovrebbe osservarsi qualche altra forma ricercata a questo fine. Avendo i tenori di questo tipo per sufficientemente espressi mediante i presenti: altrimenti rimarrebbero nella loro forza; questa volta soltanto specialmente e espressamente li deroghi, e a tutti gli altri contrari qualunque. O se a taluni, comunemente o divisamente dalla medesima Sede fosse stato concesso che non potessero essere interdetti, sospesi o scomunicati per lettere Apostoliche non facenti piena, espressa e da parola a parola menzione di tale indulto.

PAUL BISHOP

Servant of the Servants of God

1 For perpetual memory of the matter.

2 He who for the redemption of the Lord's flock did not shrink from being offered as a price upon the altar of the cross, and who after His death and resurrection, appearing repeatedly to His appointed witnesses, was finally about to ascend to the Father, not wishing to leave His disciples as orphans, visited them with the consolation of the Holy Spirit the Paraclete, and had commanded that they should be hospitable to one another, and had exhorted them to seek the gifts of charity, which surpass all other virtues. We, although unworthy, bearing His place on earth, and although our mind, by the duty incumbent upon pastoral office, is diverted by the occasion of matters pressing in due time to manifold thoughts, are constantly afflicted with assiduous cares, that Jews and infidels from their Hebrew blindness might be converted to the knowledge of true light, and being converted might be instructed in the Catholic Faith, and that hospitals and places appointed to that end might serve for a wholesome state and the observance of hospitality, and that the vows of the most faithful of Christ's followers might concur thereto, do we pursue the faithful themselves through the bond of spiritual confraternity as members adhering to their head, by certain spiritual bonds and allurements of gifts, so that from this they might become more apt for divine grace. § 1. Indeed, on behalf of our beloved son John of Jorano, Rector of the Parish Church of St. John of the Market in the Region of Campitelli of the City, a petition was recently presented to Us, containing that, since to the praise and glory of almighty God and of the whole heavenly court, and to the exaltation and increase of orthodox faith, certain Hebrews or Jews divinely inspired have cast off the darkness of blindness by which they were then held, and have converted themselves to the knowledge of true light, and have been baptized in the washing of baptism, and through various gifts and thanks granted to them from the benignity of the Apostolic See, very many other Hebrews and Jews, kindled by similar desire, wish to cast off that same blindness and to acknowledge that true light, and since in this City there exists no place in which Jews and infidels converted from Jewish blindness to the faith of Christ can be received, on behalf of the said John We were humbly besought that We should deign to grant him permission to have one Monastery constructed near the said Church for girls, and one Hospital for converted Jewish men, and otherwise to provide opportunely in the premises from Apostolic benignity.

3 § 2. We therefore, reckoning that in our times such great grace has been bestowed upon Us by the Almighty through divine miracle, albeit We are unworthy of it, and rendering such thanks as We are able to the same Almighty therefor, and having great confidence in the Lord concerning the faith and integrity, as well as the zeal for good works of the aforesaid John, inclined by these supplications, do grant to the aforesaid John the faculty of erecting a Monastery and Hospital near the said Church in a place designated for that purpose, one Monastery for girls and one Hospital under St. Joseph, or under such other invocation as shall seem good to the same John, for Jewish men and any infidels whatsoever who wish to convert themselves freely and willingly to the same faith, in which they may be received and charitably treated, from the goods bestowed upon the same John by God, and from the alms of Christ's faithful granted and to be granted for that purpose, by Apostolic authority in the tenor of these presents, from our certain knowledge and from the fullness of Apostolic power, We grant license and faculty. And those, after they shall have been constructed, We perpetually erect and institute as a Monastery and Hospital of the same converted Jews, without prejudice to anyone, and to them for their endowment We perpetually apply and appropriate whatever goods are to be expended and left to them. § 3. And

7 1543 Institution of the Arch-confraternity.

8 of the Hospital. And in the Monastery and Hospital aforesaid, we establish one Archconfraternity, which is the head of all other Confraternities and Hospitals, Monasteries, and other places whatsoever of the same Jews and Hebrews and Infidels converted, instituted and to be instituted Confraternities, hermitages, and Monasteries to be erected, Hospitals, and places of Jews and Hebrews of this kind, we immediately subject and make members depending upon it. So that Confraternities, Monasteries, Hospitals, and places subject to it and depending upon it in this manner are bound to acknowledge that same Confraternity as their head in some reverence at least each year. The aforesaid John, as long as he shall live, and after his death, one of the Confratres who are Clerics, to be chosen by them alone from triennium to triennium, we establish and institute as head or Rector, to be called Prepositus, and twelve Clerics or secular Presbyters of exemplary life and zealous for Religion, whom the aforesaid John and the Prepositus of the Confraternity for the time being shall deem fit to choose, and that from the number of the same Clerics or Presbyter Confratres none can be a Prelate or a professed member of any Order. And the same Clerics or Presbyters shall render complete and full obedience and reverence to John and to the Prepositus aforesaid existing for the time being as to their superior, and shall assist him in the care and administration of the aforesaid Monastery and Hospital, and the same twelve Presbyters or Clerics, so that they may be able to attend more freely to the aforesaid matters, cannot be aggregated to or admitted to any other Confraternity or society. And after the aforesaid John's death, the Prepositus of this Archconfraternity shall be chosen by the aforesaid Confratres who are Clerics alone from triennium to triennium from their midst, and their office shall last for a triennium and not beyond. § 4. And the Confratres themselves shall receive any Jews or Hebrews and Infidels whatsoever wishing to convert themselves to the Catholic faith, and shall assign to them food and clothing from the goods of the Hospital itself; and the Jews or Hebrews and Infidels whatsoever, before their conversion, for one or another period of time, as shall seem good to the Prepositus, shall remain in the said Monastery and Hospital as Catechumens, and in the said Church as their Parish shall hear Masses and other divine offices, and on Sundays and other solemn festival days shall be bound to come to the said Church for the purpose of hearing the divine word, and no secular person or person of whatsoever dignity, rank, Order, or condition existing and exercising any authority can or is able to intermeddle in the aforesaid Monastery and Hospital, their goods and things, and administration without the express consent of the aforesaid Confratres, or to exercise in them any authority or jurisdiction. To the end that, And if it should happen at any time that in the said Monastery and Hospital the works of charity are not exercised, their fruits shall be applied to the Archihospital of the Incurables of St. James in Augusta by that very fact and shall be deemed to be so, and the same Archihospital and its Rectors or Guardians of the aforesaid goods shall be able to receive the fruits, revenues, and proceeds as their own and of the said Archihospital of St. James, and to dispose of them freely and lawfully in the uses of its poor and no others, nor can they be molested, disturbed, or disquieted in this by anyone whatsoever, we likewise establish and ordain by the same authority and tenor also perpetually. We also grant to the same John license and faculty similarly to bless napkins, towels, and other altar furnishings and priestly vestments and garments whatsoever necessary. § 5. Likewise to the Confratres of the Monastery, Hospital to be constructed, and the aforesaid Church, and their administrators, governors, rectors, stewards, servants, familiars, ministers, and converts, and other persons existing in them for the time being, or having some care of them and of the fabric of the aforesaid Hospital and Monastery, as well as persons dying therein for the time being or leaving something of their goods for these works, that all and singular privileges, exemptions, liberties, immunities, Indulgences, even plenary ones, and remissions of sins and other spiritual graces granted to the Image of St. Savior of the Holy of Holies and Charity, and to the same Archihospital of St. James in Augusta and of the Holy Spirit Hospital, and of the Body of Christ and the Sacrament, and of the Holy Field, and to other Confratres of Confraternities of the City, as well as to the same Image and Hospital of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Field as well as to the Fabric of the Basilica of the Prince of the Apostles of the City, and its deputies, and likewise to St. Mary of the People and of Consolation, and of St. John the Baptist of the Florentines, and to other Churches of the same City, and those visiting and benefiting them, and their administrators and guardians, Rectors, general stewards, other persons taking similar care in them, and to Jews and converts, and to whatsoever of theirs even granted by Us and by whatsoever Roman Pontiffs Our Predecessors and Successors and the same See, and to be granted, (which all things and letters issued concerning them we wish to be held as expressly stated,) and which they and they use, enjoy, and possess, and shall be able to use, enjoy, and possess in any manner in the future, the Archconfraternity and its Confratres, the Monastery to be constructed, Hospital, Church, their administrators, rectors, familiars, ministers, stewards, and other persons taking similar care therein, and visiting and benefiting them, from now and in perpetuity use, enjoy, and possess, and are able to use, enjoy, and possess freely and lawfully in all things and through all things, just as

§ 7.

12 And so that the Confratres themselves, the Rectors, administrators, stewards, and other persons may be relieved from unwarranted troubles, We constitute and depute one of the Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, whom they shall deem fit to admit or elect, as their Protector and Judge, to whom, and to no other, they shall be subject, and before whom or before one deputed by him, all civil as well as criminal cases, by and against the Archconfraternity, their administrators, rectors, governors, ministers, servants, stewards, and other persons placed over goods and things of whatever quality existing, belonging to the said Archconfraternity, Monastery, and Hospital, now and for the time being to be moved, and according to the ordinary jurisdiction or faculty attributed to the General Auditor of the Apostolic Camera of the Curia, with all and singular their incidents, dependencies, annexes, and connections, may and ought to know and terminate with due process; and the Protector for the time being, himself or another, or others as many as it shall concern, or may concern, both in the Roman Curia and outside it, even by public edict, being summoned summarily and extrajudicially concerning unsafe access, from any judges and persons whatsoever in the said Curia, and as often as necessary, under ecclesiastical sentences, censures, and penalties, and also pecuniary ones, as shall seem good to the same Protector, We inhibit, and in the event of non-compliance to the declaration of the incurring of such censures and penalties, their aggravation, and otherwise according to the style and custom of the Curia of the said Auditor in similar matters to be observed, proceeding and causing sentences to be executed or to be executed. Contradictors of any kind and rebels through sentences, censures, and ecclesiastical penalties, appeal being set aside, compel, invoking also to this, if need be, the aid of the secular arm, and all and singular other things in the premises and concerning them in any way necessary and opportune to do and execute, We grant full, free license and faculty.

16 Deputation of the executor of this Constitution.

17 and to be wholly excepted and held, and as often as those shall emanate, so often to be restored to their pristine state and reintegrated, and by these present letters through whatsoever letters and whatsoever clauses, general or special, even derogatory, more efficacious, and unusual, and also irritant decrees under whatsoever expression of words contained in themselves, shall in no way be able to be derogated from, unless the tenor of those from word to word, nothing whatsoever omitted, be inserted, and such derogations be legitimately intimated and insinuated to the Prefect, Confratres, and Administrators aforesaid through three distinct letters in consistory containing the same tenor, three times similarly distinct, and their express consent to this be obtained otherwise, and otherwise made derogations shall avail no one.

18 § 9. And thus by whatsoever Judges and persons, all faculty and authority of judging and interpreting otherwise being taken from them and from each of them, it ought to be judged and defined, and also null and void whatever otherwise concerning these things by anyone whatsoever by any authority, knowingly or unknowingly, shall have been attempted.

19 § 10. And nevertheless trusting in the mercy of almighty God and the authority of the blessed Apostles Peter and Paul, to all and singular members of the same Archconfraternity existing for the time being, truly penitent and confessed, or having the purpose of confessing, who on the feast of the same St. Joseph and the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, or on other feasts to be named for this purpose by the same Prefect, rectors, administrators, and governors, shall devoutly visit the Monastery and Hospital and Church of this kind from the first vespers until the setting of the sun of the following day, and shall extend helping hands for the aforesaid works according to their judgment, We grant in the Lord full indulgence of all their sins and the Jubilee and remission.

20 § 11. Nevertheless commanding our beloved sons, the officials of the Curia of the Apostolic Camera, the general Auditor, and others in ecclesiastical dignity placed in office, as well as the Canons of Metropolitan and other Cathedral Churches, and the Vicars in spiritual matters general and officials placed anywhere of our venerable brothers the Archbishops and Bishops, that they themselves, or any two, or one of them, by themselves or through another or others, presenting these letters and whatever is contained in them, where and when it shall be necessary, and as often as on behalf of John and for the time being existing Praepositus and administrator, rector or governor of the aforesaid, or of any of them, they shall have been requested thereupon, solemnly publishing and assisting them in the aforesaid with the protection of our effective defence, shall cause by our authority them and each of them, and others whom the present letters concern, to be peacefully and to enjoy &c.

XLV.

25 Concerning the election of the General Prior and other Priors of the Congregation of Monks of the Silvestrine Order of St. Benedict, for a term of three years only, and his authority concerning the governance of the said Congregation.

26 This Congregation was approved by Innocent IV, as in his Constitution XII, Religiosa, Tom. III, Part I, fol. 108. And to it he communicated the privileges of all the Mendicants, by Paul V, on 23 November 1606, Constitution which begins Sanctorum.

27 Paul, Bishop, Servant of the Servants of God

28 For perpetual remembrance of the matter.

29 The duty of pastoral office, which by the disposition of the Lord we preside over, demands that we attend carefully to those things by which Monasteries and other religious places may be wholesomely directed through the ministry of our operation, and in them the norm of regular discipline may be observed, and every institution of right living may be wholesomely fulfilled with the reward of eternal life.

30 § 1. A petition was indeed recently presented to us on behalf of our beloved sons Jerome Pacificus of Saxoferrato, Monk and one of the modern Definitors of the Order of St. Benedict, Congregation of the Silvestrines, and Priors, Rectors of Priories and Benefices of the same Order and Congregation, containing that whereas the Priory of the Hermitage of Mount St. Camerino in the Diocese of the same Order and Congregation was then in a certain manner vacant, then the Definitors, Priors and Rectors of Priories and Benefices aforesaid, or the greater part of them, gathered at Rome in the presence of our venerable brother John Dominici, Bishop of Ostia, Protector of the said Congregation, by our mandate, capitularly assembled on this matter, the aforesaid Jerome, having expressly professed the Order of the same, in place and as Prior of the said Priory for his lifetime, according to the privileges and indults Apostolic to them or their Order granted thereupon, or otherwise elected and appointed, and perhaps otherwise and other things did, as is said to be more fully contained in their patent letters made thereupon, the Congregation

31 in the Priory Jerome Pacificus

32 to his Dignity seemed more useful

33 was the election for a term of three years of Prior, with prohibition of re-election during the other two months. Paul III, Year IX.

34 § 1. Wherefore this Pontiff for the benefit and advantage of the aforesaid, and so that Jerome might be reduced to the aforesaid triennial term, and Jerome himself afterwards by virtue of such election and deputation of this kind obtained the possession of the Priory itself. § 2. Since, however, as the same petition subjoined, by some the force of such election was disputed and contested, and the Priory itself might otherwise than as aforesaid have become vacant, and might become vacant, and if the aforesaid election and deputation were revoked and reduced to a triennial term, and those were approved and confirmed only as to the triennial period, and in the said Priory, which is conventual, and whose Prior existing for the time being has been accustomed to be perpetual and general of the Order and of the aforesaid Congregation, the title of perpetual Prior should be suppressed and extinguished, and it should be governed and ruled by a triennial Prior, and that the aforesaid Definitors, Priors, and Rectors in the said their general Chapter to be celebrated for this purpose might elect one religious of the same Order, expressly professed in the Order itself, whom they should think more useful for the prosperous success of the Order itself, as general Prior of the said Priory from triennium to triennium. So that the one thus elected could not be re-elected in such a triennium until two other triennia had elapsed. And that Priors and Rectors of Priories and other benefices of the Order and of such Congregation could not be confirmed in the same Priories and benefices beyond a triennium by the same Chapter, it should be decreed and ordained, and this assuredly for the happier state of the Order and of the Priories and their Benefices, as well as of those persons, in spiritual and temporal matters would be salutarily consulted, and the aforesaid Order would receive increase with the salvation of souls.

35 § 3. Wherefore on behalf of the said modern Definitors, Priors, and Rectors it was humbly supplicated to Us, that We should deign to provide opportunely on these matters for the salutary direction of the Order itself by Apostolic benignity.

36 § 4. We therefore, who sincerely desire the salutary state of all Monasteries and of the persons serving the Lord in them, and the increase of regular observance, absolving the same modern Definitors, Priors, Rectors, and each of them from any excommunication, suspension, and interdict, and other ecclesiastical sentences, censures, and penalties imposed by law or by man, for any occasion or cause whatsoever, by which they are bound in any way, for the purpose of obtaining the effect of these presents only, by the tenor of these letters, and holding the true and final mode of the aforesaid Priory's vacancy, even if from that any general reservation closed in the body of law should result, for expressed, inclined to such supplications, We revoke and reduce by Apostolic authority and tenor of these presents the election and deputation into general Prior of the aforesaid Priory of the said Jerome made to life as aforesaid to a triennium, so that when the triennium is finished, the same Jerome can be freely removed from such Priory and Generalate office, and those thus revoked and reduced, and all and singular other things contained in the said letters and resulting therefrom, whatever they may be, provided they are lawful and honest, as to such triennium only, We approve and confirm from certain knowledge, and add to them the full strength of firmness.

37 § 5. And nevertheless We constitute and depute the same Jerome as Prior of the said Priory for a triennium only, and in the said Priory, whose fruits, revenues, and proceeds are found to be taxed at sixty-three florins of gold in the books of the Apostolic Camera, the name and title of perpetual Prior, so that never shall the vacancy of it occur except for the purpose of triennial election, even from now perpetually and entirely, by the authority and tenor aforesaid, We suppress and extinguish, and it is suppressed and extinguished and is to be held as such.

38 § 6. And therefore the annates of the said Priory occurring upon its vacancy for the time being, owed to the Apostolic Camera or to any others whatsoever, unless from fifteen years to fifteen years shall in no way be paid, and the Priors existing for the time being of the said Priory shall not be bound to its payment, otherwise than as is aforesaid, nor can be compelled to it, or on account of it be bound by any censures, and We decree that they ought not to be.

39 §.7. And also that henceforth for perpetual future times the Priory itself shall be ruled and governed by a Prior for a three-year term only, to be appointed from time to time by the election of this Chapter alone, and shall be able to be ruled and governed. §.8. And that such election, after it shall have been made by the aforesaid Chapter, shall be approved by Apostolic authority and thus confirmed, and shall be held to be so; and no one therein may be elected or appointed Prior beyond a three-year term, but he who shall have presided as Prior of this Priory for one three-year term; on the last day of this three-year term the Prior shall cease to be Prior, and in the same Priory the Prior may not immediately be reappointed anew by the Chapter itself, unless two three-year terms have elapsed, and if he be elected before their lapse, such election shall be null. And nevertheless those knowingly electing shall incur the sentence of excommunication, nor may even this three-year term be extended.

40 §.9. And that the aforesaid Hieronymus, and other Priors of the said Priory thus elected and confirmed, during the three-year term, and the Priory and its Chapter thus, in all and singular, power, authority, and faculty, even of conferring benefices and offices, and immunities, exemptions, liberties, honors, privileges, indulgences, prerogatives, graces, favors, and indults, in spiritual and temporal matters, by which other perpetual Priors of the same Priory, who were from time to time, were able to use, possess, and enjoy, or even ought to have, and may and ought to in any way in the future, use, possess, and enjoy, and he himself for the time being shall use them as appointed.

50 222 Paul III Year 9. A.D. at the time existing as Prior, his three-year term being finished, his successor elected as Prior, and two nominated and appointed by the Chapter aforesaid, with an annual pension of twenty-five scudi reserved to himself for vestments and other necessaries, deductions made, assigned to him by the aforesaid John Cardinal and Protector and Chapter, on account of the remainder administered by him during this three-year term they are bound to render account.

51 §.10. And that Priors or Rectors of Priories and benefices of this Order and Congregation may in no way be confirmed in their Priories and benefices beyond a three-year term, we perpetually establish and ordain.

52 §.11. And moreover from now on whatever collations and provisions, or commendams, and any other dispositions whatsoever, of whatever persons, even Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, of the said Priory, even made by the Apostolic See from time to time, shall be of no force or moment, and thus by whatever Judges, even the same Cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, with all other authority and faculty of judging and interpreting taken away from them, shall be judged and determined, and moreover whatever otherwise shall happen to be attempted upon these things by anyone by whatever authority, knowingly or unknowingly, we decree to be null and void. §.12. Wherefore to our beloved sons the Abbot of the Monastery of St. Blaise and St. Venantius, and St. Nicholas of Fabriano, of the Diocese of Camerino, of the collegiate and collegiate Churches existing Definitors and Priors and Rectors of the same Order and Congregation, or of any of them, if they shall have been required thereupon, solemnly publishing and assisting them with the protection of effective defense in the premises, cause the aforesaid revocation, reduction, approval, confirmation, suppression, statute, ordinance, and decree to be firmly observed, and permit all those whom these presents concern to enjoy them peacefully, not allowing them to be molested thereupon in any way whatsoever unduly, compelling contradictors by our authority with appeal set aside.

53 § 13. Notwithstanding the foregoing, and the Constitutions and Apostolic Ordinances, and those of the aforesaid Priory and Order, even those confirmed by Apostolic oath or any other firmness of statutes, and customs, as well as any privileges, indults, and Apostolic letters granted to the same Order, and to its places and persons, in general and in particular, under whatsoever tenors and forms, and with whatsoever clauses, even derogatory clauses of derogatory clauses, and other more efficacious and unusual clauses, as well as irritant and other decrees, even by way of perpetual statute, even by Motu proprio, and from certain knowledge, and from the fullness of Apostolic power, even granted, approved, and renewed on repeated occasions; even though by any Apostolic letters whatsoever, even containing derogatory clauses of derogatory clauses and unusual clauses, such derogation could in no way be derogated from or deemed derogated, unless in the modes and forms contained in the same, such derogation should have been made in accordance with their provisions. For the sufficient derogation of all these, special, specific, individual, express mention of them and their entire tenors, word for word, and not by general clauses importing the same, or any other exquisite form to be observed for this purpose, would be required; the tenors of these being held by the present as sufficiently expressed: otherwise they would remain in their force, this time only specially and expressly we derogate from them, and from all other things to the contrary. Or if to any, commonly or individually, it has been granted by the same See that they cannot be interdicted, suspended, or excommunicated by Apostolic letters not making full and express and word-for-word mention of such indult.

54 Let no one whatsoever &c.

55 If anyone moreover &c.
