 For that reason, lest the fabricators of lies of this kind and also the assertors of such pestiential, erroneous, and condemned doctrine, by repressing and confusing certainly every worthy [doctrine], prevail in boasting and in leading others into error, since they have dared, by sneaky undertaking and perverse petulance, to defend publicly a heresy condemned by the aforesaid constitution and even to prove, namely that Christ and His Apostles in those things, which were appointed [for them] to have had, they only had the simplex usus facti without any right, from which (if it were true) it would follow, that the usus of Christ was not just, which indeed contains blasphemy, and [which is] inimicable to the Catholic Faith, since there is no doubt that this has come forth from pretinacious and erroneous animosity, after [having taken] counsel of Our brothers [i.e. the cardinals], We do declare that each and every [person], who by word or writing on his own or by means of another or others presumes [to do] such things publicly, and that also they, who teach these in regards to such things and do as has been aforementioned, have fallen into condemned heresy, and [are to be treated] as heretics to be avoided. If anyone, moreover, would presume by word or writing to knowingly defend or approve, one after the other, the heresies condemned by the constitution "Quum inter praedictam," or either of them, after [having taken] counsel of the same brother [cardinals], We judge that he is to be visibly treated as a heretic by all. Besides after [having taken] the counsel of the same brother [cardinals] We forbid more broadly that [anyone] impunge with insane daring Our above said constitution, "Ad conditorem canonum," which they are [doing], as has been shown, so that no one may, in word or writing, approve or defend anything knowingly against the things defined, ordained or accomplished by the same. If anyone truly would presume [to do such] against [it], let him be treated by all as contumacious, and a rebel of the Roman Church.

Therefore [it is in nowise licit] to any man [to infringe this page of Our declarations, statements, composition, command, constitutions, judgments, and dispositions, nor it is licit to such a one to oppose this by rash daring: if any one however would presume to attempt this, let him know that he has incurred the indignation of the Omnipotent God, and his blessed Apostles Peter and Paul.]

Given at Avignon, on the fourth day before the Ides of November, in the ninth year of Our Pontificate.
