The Sinodos
Section 49
Statute 47. Concerning the grave. No man shall compel by his command to bury a man in a grave which is made for all the poor ; but they shall give wages to the hired man who digs, and to him who guards that place, and to him who has the care of those things. And the bishop shall sustain him with what they offer to the churches.
