Chapter 6

On privileges

(1) It is lawful [fas est] for the priests of the order of Tertiaries (who) offer at whatever altar, on any three days [tribus ex qualibet diebus] of the week, to offer the Holy Sacrifice [perlitare], provided that [modo] they have not obtained a similar faculty of offering the Holy Sacrifice [perlitare] on another day.

(2) To perform the sacred (sacrifice) for the souls of the deceased members (who are) to be purified, one shall offer the Holy Sacrifice [perlitare] in any place [ubicumque] to ask for pardon for (one of) the deceased.

And these things, each and every, as have been decreed above, We will that they be thus firm, stable, and approved in perpetuity: not withstanding the Constitutions, Letters Apostolic, statutes, customs, privileges, and the Our other rules and those of the Apostolic Chancery and whatever things the (are) to the contrary. Therefore let it be licit to no one among men to violate these Our Letters in any manner, or in any part. If anyone, however, dares such a thing whatsoever against these, he will let him know that he has incurred the indignation of the Omnipotent God, and of His blessed Apostles Peter and Paul.
