Letter 75: FrIEDBERG, Decr. Gratiani, XXV, 2, 16, c.

Pelagius to John, Count of the Patrimony. [In an anagnosticum (an official memorandum or decree).] To the one who says that he holds sacred orders [imperial rescripts] in hand, we have replied that he ought to know that the most merciful prince himself has established by general laws that those sacred grants conceded to the desire of any petitioner prevail and are carried into effect which are in agreement with the rule of right and of the laws. But those things which are perhaps obtained by stealth [subreption] or by false petitions bring no remedy to the petitioners.
