A soldier of the civil authority{3} must be taught not to kill men and to refuse to do so if he is commanded, and to refuse to take an oath;{4} if he is unwilling to comply, he must be rejected. A military commander or civic magistrate that wears the purple must resign or be rejected. If a catechumen or a believer seeks to become a soldier, they must be rejected, for they have despised God.

28. As soon as first-fruits appear, all shall hasten to offer them to the bishop. And he shall offer them, shall give thanks and shall name him who offered them,Saying:
….
Only certain fruits may be blessed, namely grapes, the fig, the pomegranate, the olive, the pear, the apple, the mulberry, the peach, the cherry, the almond, the plum. Not the pumpkin, nor the melon, nor the cucumber, nor the onion nor garlic nor anything else having an odour.
But sometimes flowers too are offered; here the rose and the lily may be offered, but no other.
PJ: Part III.28.
