He also forbids anyone from invading or illicitly detaining them; and he establishes the liberties and immunities indulged by the kings of Scots, and the customs, rents and services pertaining to the churches. The pope directs that no man is permitted to disturb the church or carry away its possessions; saving the authority of the apostolic see. Should any secular person attempt to go against this, after three warnings if he should not make amends, he may lost his honour and be liable to divine justice, and subject himself to retribution.
