Chapter XI: When they are molested against the law, or their privileges.

If indeed the brother and/or sisters are harassed [vexationibus impetantur] against the law and/or their privileges by means of the mayors [potestates] or rulers of the region, where they obtain domicile, let the ministers of the place strive to have recourse to the bishop and to the other ordinaries of the region, in accord with the counsel and regulations to be following in their norms [tabulis].
