Concerning pregnant and menstruating women, and that they may always enter a church unless something else prevents this. D. 6.

D. 7. On the makers of ordinances. D. 8. That custom yields to truth and reason. D. 9. When imperial ordinances should be tempered; and that the canons do not contain falsehoods, although certain passages in the writings of theologians need to be corrected |

That custom should conform to ordinance and reason, and that custom should be observed. D. 12.

| Summary |
Annotation The first twenty distinctions, translated here, comprise a treatise on law in general and contain a discussion of the nature of law, voluntary action, and the power of popes, bishops, and secular authorities. Accompanying the translation of the distinctions is a translation of the so-called ordinary gloss, a commentary on the distinctions that took its final form in the thirteenth century and was usually found around the margin texts of the 'Decretum.' |
