10.44

Ac ne id fortasse videatur omissum quod maxime fidem catholicae religionis infestat, quod aliquanti clerici vel laici student auguriis, et sub nomine fictae religionis, quas sanctorum sortes vocant, divinationis scientiam profitentur aut quarumcunque scripturarum inspectione futura promittunt : hoc 239 quicunque clericus vel laicus detectus fuerit vel consulere vel docere, ab Ecclesia habeatur extraneus.

And lest that should perhaps seem to have been passed over which most of all attacks the faith of the catholic religion: that a number of clerics or laymen give themselves to auguries, and under the name of a feigned religion, by what they call the "lots of the saints", profess a science of divination, or promise [to tell] the future by inspecting any writings whatever; whoever, cleric or layman, is detected either consulting or teaching this, let him be held a stranger to the Church.

Translator's note. '239' inside the text is a page number of the printed edition, not translated.
