Firstly—That the Manichæans[273] build no new church, nor restore the old.
Secondly—That goods given to the Church be not taken away.
Thirdly—That if any one slay a man, let him by royal judgment be cast into prison, and let his goods be divided into two parts, one part to be forfeited to the king and one part to the kinsmen of him slain.
Fourthly—That when the councillors, secretaries, Voivodes, and counts of the royal court,[274] are chosen, they must solemnly swear oath to the king.
Fifthly—That the Duke[275] of St. Sava be not lawful duke unless he be chosen by the king of Rascia, Serbia, and Illyricum. After election let him swear oath to the king’s majesty. But if he presume to exercise office without taking the oath, the king’s majesty shall punish him.
Sixthly—That incestuous and the corrupters of kinspeople be punished.
Seventhly—That the betrayers of fenced cities[276] and of their lords pay the penalties of their treason; and also the utterers of false money.

Given at Coinica, and written by the most reverend father in Christ, lord Vladimir Vladmirović, bishop of Creševo and of the Narentines, of the Greek rite, secretary of our court,[277] and doctor of Greek letters and laws,[278] our beloved and faithful, in the year of our Saviour 1446.
