Canon 17 No cleric enrolled elsewhere without his bishop's release

Since clerics of various churches, leaving their own churches in which they were ordained, have run off to other bishops, and without the consent of their own bishop have been enrolled in other churches, and from this it has come about that they have become insubordinate; we decree that, from the month of January of the past fourth indiction, none of all the clerics, in whatever rank he may be, shall have leave, without the written release of his own bishop, to be enrolled in another church; otherwise he who from now on does not observe this, but, so far as in him lies, puts to shame the one who laid ordination upon him, let him be deposed, both he himself and the one who unreasonably received him.
