At their petition, praying the pope to help them in the matter with fatherly diligence, he orders the above abbot to warn all persons of either sex in the said town, and forbid them to throw filth into the said river, or otherwise stir it up or pollute it, to excommunicate those who disobey, and cause the sentence to be solemnly published.
