The Seven Ecumenical Councils

By Philip Schaff

Canon L. No one at all, whether cleric or layman, is from this time forward to play

No one at all, whether cleric or layman, is from this time forward to play at dice. And if any one hereafter shall be found doing so, if he be a cleric he is to be deposed, if a layman let him be cut off.

Notes.

Ancient Epitome of Canon L.
