to haue any more meetings or assemblies together to consult conferre or treate together or performe either spirituall or temporall exercises Willing and charging them presently and speedily to abandon and dismisse the manner of habit supposedly and fally taken vpon them and never to put on the same any more neither to admit any other Women or Maidens to receiue and put on the same As also that they with their consent shall not suffer nor counsell helpe or favour others to doe it directly or indirectly or in any manner whatsoever neither shall they professe themselues or make known themselues to be religious persons followers of that pretended sect and Congregation For the better suppressing of which Assembly Wee doe freely and willingly absolue all those Women and Maidens who haue really and punctually made their Vowes as Wee said before with that intention being in such an estate condemned and reprobated by the Apostolicall Chaire although they haue not performed the promised conditions of their secret Vowes nor could not performe the Obligation of their Vowes fully But all those who in any case haue made Vowes being they are simple Vowes to liue honestly and religiously being seperated from the other and this reprobate State and the pretended sect and Assembly shunning and avoyding whatsoever hath by this Edict beene prohibited these Wee permit to submit themselues to the obedience of the Ordinarie with the vse but nor the full command of their Goods but with such power which Wee mercifully graunt them both in their liues and before their decease to dispose of them to holy and pious vses Neuerthelesse this prouided that the same Goods shall without any will or Testament befall and be deriued vnto those which by right and equity were to succeede in them and to inherite the same if so bee that these women or maidens had not made such a vow of voluntary poverty And in case any of these afore-sayd women or maidens would betake themselues to the estate of Matrimony we graunt them free permission to marrie but with this proviso that they shall keepe that which therein is to bee obserued and we doe afford them our Apostollicall Benediction and as farre as necessity requires the relaxation and quittance of all their vowes as aforesaid made by them But because the Apostle teacheth that hee that marries doth well but hee that remaines vnmarried doth better wee doe therefore as earnestly and with as much power as wee can admonish and exhort those afore-sayd women and maidens by the mercies of God in our fatherly loue and care that they would but recall and truely consider the zeale and affection which they haue had to embrace a holy Religious and Spirituall life and to take vpon them the Lords yoke and that they renounding themselues and all worldly luses cares and concupiscences would betake themselues into some holy and religious order instituted and approued of by this Holy Apostollicall Chaire And there with a faithfull holy and godly desire and intentions make their vowes vnto the God of Iacob and with innocencie of hands and puritie and sinceritie of heart practizing and performing holy spirituall exercises of Religious workes would manifest themselues to bee the purest and pretioust part of Christs Sheepe and Flocke And there kindle their lampes with the flames of Loue and so prepare themselues to meere the sweete heauenly Bridegroome of their soules Thus then wee doe ordaine that these present Letters and all the Contents of the same yea notwithstanding that the women or maidens of such a Sect and Assembly or any other hauing some suspition or seruple of the Premises or pretending to haue should not haue consented vnto the same or haue not beene summoned and heard in the matter And that the reasons of this same

validitie of the Premises ought to haue beene produced or performed Yea although that of our aforesayd will and pleasure could no wayes nor no where appeare nor bee made good or manifested otherwife
