" ...is cautioned by the mandate of the ordinary suitably concerning the making of restitution. Furthermore, if the quantity of usury received is manifest, we wish that always to be expressed in the aforesaid caution. Otherwise, let the one receiving such caution moderate it by his own judgment; he himself, however, shall knowingly not moderate it for less than what is believed likely. And if he shall do otherwise, let him be bound to the satisfaction of the remainder. All religious and others who have dared to admit manifest usurers to ecclesiastical burial against the form of the present sanction, we statute to be subject to the penalties of the Lateran Council promulgated against usurers. No one shall be present at the testaments of manifest usurers, nor admit them to confession, nor absolve them, unless they have made satisfaction for the usury or have provided, as is promised, suitable caution according to the strength of their means that they will provide satisfaction. Testaments of such manifest usurers made otherwise shall not be valid, but shall be null ipso iure by the law itself."
Inheriting the footsteps of the sacred provincial council of old, as well as those of Rudolph, Henry, and Martinard, our predecessors, bishops, we sanctify by this constitution, to be valid in perpetuity, that if hereafter any ecclesiastical or secular person, of whatever dignity, status, or condition they exist, at the instigation of the devil, within our city and diocese, shall kill a clerk or one carrying himself as a clerk, or shall mutilate him, or shall capture or detain him without the license of the clerk's superior, ipso facto in the lands, churches, and parishes of the whole deanery in which such a crime has been committed or such a clerk has been captured—and not only in that deanery but also in whatever other deaneries in which any of such people shall have held the clerk—and in all places in which the killer, mutilator, captor, or his accomplices, who have provided them counsel, help, or favor, shall hold a domicile or lordship, or shall exercise or have exercised jurisdiction either in fact or in law, or shall have spent time, and to which the crime may have come, and as long as they shall have been in them, and for three continuous days after the departure of each of them from there, all shall ipso facto cease from divine services, and a most strict ecclesiastical interdict shall be observed as long as satisfaction has not been made to the injured party, to us, and to the church for such a great crime, or until such interdict has been otherwise legitimately relaxed. Such injured parties shall treat them as excommunicated, and they shall ipso facto be avoided by all more closely until they have merited to obtain the benefit of absolution legitimately. But lest those who are bound to observe the interdict according to the aforesaid be able to excuse themselves by any ignorance, we command that rectors or parish priests of the churches in whose parishes the aforesaid crimes have been committed report the matter done, immediately and within the space of one day, to the dean if he is present in the deanery. Otherwise, to the chamberlain; if the chamberlain is also absent, to the neighboring priest curate of that deanery who is present. That dean, chamberlain, or neighboring priest curate shall manifest this same crime to all other priests of such a deanery, and also to the religious residing in it, within the first two days, and notify that an interdict is to be observed by them and in the whole deanery; to whom, in these matters, we wish full faith to be given as to our letters. If, however, any of the rectors or parish priests of parochial churches, or deans or chamberlains, shall contemn to fulfill this our precept, let him incur the sentence of excommunication ipso facto, from which he cannot be liberated unless prior suitable satisfaction has been made. By the aforesaid, we do not intend to derogate from the legal and provincial constitutions edited against the aforesaid sacrilegious persons, and others which treat of their penalties, but rather we wish them to remain in their strength.
