Quisquis ejus generis libellos importare vel eis privatim vel publice uti ausus fuerit, id eisdem capitis, proscriptionis et privationis bonorum omnium poenis tenebitur. Datum Cracoviae, feria V. post Dominicam Palmarum, A. D. 1540. --Zakrzewski, p. 236. 11. Literae ad episcopos de haeresi.--Sigismundus etc. Revde. in Chro. pater, sincere nobis dilecte. Ita ut fuit de consensu omnium Regni senatorum constitutum in proximis comitiis, misimus mandata nostra ad omnes arcium et bonorum nostrorum praefectos, atque eis ediximus, ut providerent, ne quis ad loca de haeresi suspecta proficisceretur, aut si quis profectus esset, ut intra semestre spatium reverteretur sub poena capitis, proscriptionis et privationis bonorum. Nunc P. vestra pro officio suo pastorali inquiret diligenter, qui sunt ad ea loca profecti, ut nos parentibus corum aut iis, in quorum potestate sunt, mandemus, quo intra semestre tempus eos revocandos curent; si secus fecerint, non ipsi minus quam liberi eorum poena capitis, proscriptionis et privationis bonorum omnium afficiendi. De libris quoque Luteranis scripsimus ad illos et mandavimus, ut prohiberent eos importari aut legi a quopiam, locique ordinario eorum nomina deferrent, qui contra edictum hoc nostrum fecissent, ut is meritas de eis poenas sumendas curaret. Proinde hac quoque in re advigilabit P. vestra et diligenter inquiret, si qui sunt libri hujusmodi, curabitque, ut edictum hoc nostrum executioni mandetur.… Datum Oracoviae feria VI-a ante Dominicam Conductus Paschae (April 2nd) A. D. 1540. --Zakrzewski, p. 237. 12. Concerning foreign travels of our subjects this is what we have resolved upon with our Council and with the Provincial Representatives, namely, that every subject of ours be free to leave the territory of the Polish Crown for whatever country he wishes to see, to enter into service, and to train himself in good manners; provided, however, that no one leaves accompanied, except by his own servants, by an armed force equipped for war, or having left, engages abroad in forming a warlike expedition of men who either had preceded or followed him, unless he has our and our Council’s consent, for such procedure might turn out unfavorable to us and to the Crown; but goes only by himself or with his servants for the purpose of training himself in learning permitted by the Church. But whoever, returning from abroad, purposes to import, use, and spread any new teachings or books, shall be punished according to existing laws and constitutional provisions of the Crown.… Datum Cracoviae in Comitiis praefatis 12 Aprilis A.
