=8.= If any one of the race of the Saxons hereafter, concealed among them, shall have wished to hide himself unbaptized, and shall have scorned to come to baptism, and shall have wished to remain a pagan, let him be punished by death. =9.= If any one shall have sacrificed a man to the devil, and, after the manner of the pagans, shall have presented him as a victim to the demons, let him be punished by death. [Sidenote: Conspiracy against Christians] =10.= If any one shall have formed a conspiracy with the pagans against the Christians, or shall have wished to join with them in opposition to the Christians, let him be punished by death; and whosoever shall have consented fraudulently to this same against the king and the Christian people, let him be punished by death. =11.= If any one shall have shown himself unfaithful to the lord king, let him be punished with a capital sentence. =13.= If any one shall have killed his lord or lady, let him be punished in a like manner. =14.= If, indeed, for these mortal crimes secretly committed any one shall have fled of his own accord to a priest, and after confession shall have wished to do penance, let him be freed by the testimony of the priest from death....[139] [Sidenote: Observance of the Sabbath and of festival days] =18.= On the Lord's day no meetings or public judicial assemblages shall be held, unless perchance in a case of great necessity, or when war compels it, but all shall go to church to hear the word of God, and shall be free for prayers or good works. Likewise, also, on the special festivals they shall devote themselves to God and to the services of the Church, and shall refrain from secular assemblies. [Sidenote: Baptism of infants] =19.= Likewise, it has been pleasing to insert in these decrees that all infants shall be baptized within a year; and we have decreed this, that if any one shall have refused to bring his infant to baptism within the course of a year, without the advice or permission of the priest, if he is a noble he shall pay 120 _solidi_[140] to the treasury; if a freeman, 60; if a _litus_, 30.[141] =20.= If any one shall have contracted a prohibited or illegal marriage, if a noble, 60 _solidi_; if a freeman, 30; if a _litus_, 15. [Sidenote: Keeping up heathen rites] =21.= If any one shall have made a vow at springs or trees or groves,[142] or shall have made an offering after the manner of the heathen and shall have partaken of a repast in honor of the demons, if he shall be a noble, 60 _solidi_; if a freeman, 30; if a _litus_, 15. If, indeed, they have not the means of paying at once, they shall be given into the service of the Church until the _solidi_ are paid. =22.= We command that the bodies of Saxon Christians shall be carried to the church cemeteries, and not to the mounds of the pagans.
