Canon XXXVII. It Is Not Lawful to Receive Portions Sent from the Feasts of Jews or Heretics, nor to Feast Together with Them · Canon XLI. None of the Priesthood nor of the Clergy May Go on a Journey, Without the Bidding of the Bishop

Canon CXXII. (Greek cxxiii.)

Page 607 of 706

The sentence of the elected judges ought not to be spurned.

From the judges chosen by common consent of the parties, no appeal can be taken; and whoever shall be found to have carried such an appeal and contumaciously to be unwilling to submit to the judges, when this has been proved to the primate, let him give letters, that no one of the bishops should communicate with him until he yield.
