Proxie thereunto warranted and enabled Wee call that Proxie sufficient which is strengthened and confirmed by some authenticall Seale the parties approbation or at least his ratification therewithall concurring All which Proxies shall be forthwith by the sayd Proctors exhibited into the Court and be safely kept and preserued by the Register in the publike Registrie of the saide Court. And if any Register or Proctor shall offend herein he shall bee secluded from the exercise of his Office for the space of two moneths without hope of release or restoring CXXX Proctors not to retaine Causes without the counsell of an Aduocate FOr lessening and abridging the multitude of Suits and contentions as also for preuenting the complaints of Suiters in Courts Ecclesiasticall who many times are ouerthrowen by the ouersight and negligence or by the ignorance and insufficiencie of Proctors and likewise for the furtherance and increase of learning and the aduancement of Ciuil and Canon Law following the laudable customes heretofore obserued in the Courts pertaining to the Archbishop of Canterbury Wee will and ordaine that no Proctor exercising in any of them shall intertaine any Cause whatsoeuer and keepe and retaine the same for two Court dayes without the Counsell and aduise of an Aduocate vnder paine of a yeeres suspension from his practise neither shall the Iudge haue power to release or mitigate the said penaltie without expresse Mandate and Authoritie from the Archbishop aforesaid CXXXI Proctors not to conclude in any Cause without the knowledge of an Aduocate NO Iudge in any of the said Courts of the Archbishop shall admit any Libell or any other matter without the aduice of an Aduocate admitted to practise in the same Court or without his subscription neither shall any Proctor conclude any cause depending without the knowledge of the Aduocate retained and feed in the cause which if any Proctor shall doe or procure to bee done or shall by any colour whatsoeuer defraud the Aduocate of his duetie or Fee or shall be negligent in repairing to the Aduocate and requiring his aduice what course is to bee taken in the cause he shal be suspended from all practise for the space of sixe moneths without hope of being thereunto restored before the said terme be fully complete CXXXII Proctors prohibited the oath In animam Domini sui FOrasmuch as in the probate of Testaments and Suits for administration of the goods of persons dying Intestate the oath vsually taken by Proctors of Courts In animam constituentis is found to be inconuenient Wee doe therefore decree ordaine That euery Executor or Suitor for administration shall personally repaire to the Iudge in that behalfe or his Surrogate and in his owne person and not by Proctor take the oath accustomed in these cases But if by reason of sicknesse or age or any other iust let or impediment he be not able to make his personall appearance before the Iudge it shall bee lawfull for the Iudge there being faith first made by a credible person of the trueth of his said hinderance or impediment to grant a Commission to some graue Ecclesiasticall person abiding neere the partie aforesaid whereby hee shall giue power and authoritie to the said Ecclesiasticall person in his stead to minister the accustomed oath aboue mentioned to the Executor or Suitor for such administration requiring his saide Substitute that by a faithfull and trustie messenger hee certifie the sayd Iudge truely and faithfully what he hath done therein Lastly we ordaine and appoint That no Iudge or Register shall in any wise receiue for the Writing Drawing or Sealing of any such Commission aboue the summe of sixe shillings and eight pence whereof one moitie to bee for the Iudge and the other for the Register of the said Court CXXXIII Proctors not to be clamorous in Court FOrasmuch as it is found by experience that the lowd and confused cries and clamours of Proctors in the Courts of the Archbishop are not onely troublesome and offensiue to the Iudges Aduocates but also giue occasion to the standers by of contempt and calumnie toward the Court it selfe that more respect may be had to the dignity of the Iudge then heretofore and that causes may more easily and commodiously bee handled and dispatched We charge and enioyne That all Proctors in the said Courts do especially intend that the Acts be faithfully entred and set downe by the Register according to the aduice and direction of the Aduocate that the said Proctors refraine loude speech and brabling and behaue themselues quietly and modestly and that when either the Iudges or Aduocates or any of them shal happen to speake they presently be silent vpon paine of silencing for two whole Termes then immediatly following euery such offence of theirs And if any of them shall the second time offend herein after due monition shall not reforme himselfe let him be for euer remoued from his practise ❧ Registers CXXXIIII Abuses to be reformed in Registers IF any Register or his Deputie or Substitute whatsoeuer shall receiue any Certificate without the knowledge and consent of the Iudge of the Court or willingly omit to cause any persons cited to appeare vpon any Court day to be called or vnduely put off and deferre the Examination of witnesses to be examined by a day set assigned by the Iudge or doe not obey and obserue the iudiciall and lawfull monition of the said Iudge or omit to write or cause to be written such Citations and Decrees as are to be put in execution and set foorth before the next Court day or shall not cause all Testaments exhibited into his Office to bee Registred within a conuenient time or shall set downe or enact as decreed by the Iudge any thing false or conceited by himselfe and not so ordered or decreed by the Iudge or in the transmission of Processes to the Iudge Ad quem shall adde or insert any falsehood or vntrueth or omit any thing therein either by cunning or by grosse negligence or in causes of Instance or promoted of Office shall receiue any reward in fauour of either partie or be of counsel directly or indirectly with either of the parties in Suite or in the execution of their Office shall doe ought else maliciously or fraudulently whereby the said Ecclesiasticall Iudge or his proceedings may be slandred or defamed We wil and ordaine that the said Register of his Deputie or Substitute offending in all or any of the premisses shall by the Bishop of the Diocesse be suspended from the exercise of his Office for the space of one two or three moneths or more according to the qualitie of his offence and that the sayde Bishop shal assigne some other publike Notarie to execute and discharge all things pertaining to his Office during the time of his sayd Suspension CXXXV A certaine rate of Fees due to all Ecclesiasticall Officers NO Bishop Suffragan Chancellor Commissarie Archdeacon Officiall nor any other exercising Ecclesiasticall Iurisdiction whatsoeuer
and the practise of the Primitiue Church we do commend to al the true members of the Church of England these our directions obseruations ensuing First it is to be obserued that although the Iewes Ethnicks derided both the Apostles and the rest of the Christians for preaching and beleeuing in him who was crucified vpon the Crosse yet all both Apostles and Christians were so farre from beeing discouraged from their profession by the ignominie of the Crosse as they rather reioyced and triumphed in it Yea the holy Ghost by the mouthes of the Apostles did honour the Name of the Crosse being hatefull among the Iewes so farre that vnder it he comprehended not onely Christ crucified but the force effects and merits of his Death and Passion with all the comforts fruits and promises which wee receiue or expect thereby Secondlly the honour and dignitie of the Name of the Crosse begat a reuerend estimation euen in the Apostles times for ought that is knowen to the contrary of the signe of the Crosse which the Christians shortly after vsed in all their actions thereby making an outward shew profession euen to the astonishment of the Iewes that they were not ashamed to acknowledge him for their Lord and Sauiour who died for them vpon the Crosse And this signe they did not onely vse themselues with a kinde of glory when they met with any Iewes but signed therewith their children when they were Christned to dedicate them by that badge to his seruice whose benefits bestowed vpon them in Baptisme the name of the Crosse did represent And this vse of the signe of the Crosse in Baptisme was held in the Primitiue Church as well by the Greekes as the Latines with one consent and great applause At what time if any had opposed themselues against it they would certainely haue beene censured as enemies of the name of the Crosse consequently of Christs merits the signe whereof they could no better endure This continuall and generall vse of the signe of the Crosse is euident by many testimonies of the ancient Fathers Thirdly it must be confessed that in processe of time the signe of the Crosse was greatly abused in the Church of Rome especially after that corruption of Popery had once possessed it But the abuse of a thing doth not take away the lawfull vse of it Nay so farre was it from the purpose of the Church of England to forsake and reiect the Churches of Italie France Spaine Germany or any such like Churches in all things which they helde and practised that as the Apologie of the Church of England confesseth it doth with reuerence retaine those Ceremonies which doe neither endammage the Church of God nor offende the minds of sober men and onely departed from them in those particular points wherein they were fallen both from themselues in their ancient integritie from the Apostolicall Churches which were their first founders In which respect amongst some other very ancient Ceremonies the signe of the Crosse in Baptisme hath bene retained in this Church both by the iudgement and practise of those reuerend Fathers and great Diuines in the dayes of King Edward the sixth of whom some constantly suffered for the profession of the trueth and others being exiled in the time of Queene Mary did after their returne in the beginning of the Reigne of our late dread Soueraigne continually defend and vse the same This resolution and practise of our Church hath beene allowed and approoued by the censure vpon the Communion Booke in King Edward the sixt his dayes and by the harmonie of confessions of latter yeeres because in deede the vse of this signe in Baptisme was euer accompanied here with such sufficient cautions and exceptions against all Popish Superstition and errour as in the like cases are either fit or conuenient First the Church of England since the abolishing of Poperie hath euer held and taught and so doth hold and teach still that the signe of the Crosse vsed in Baptisme is no part of the substance of that Sacrament For when the Minister dipping the Infant in Water or laying Water vpon the face of it as the maner also is hath pronounced these wordes I baptize thee in the Name of the Father and of the Sonne and of the holy Ghost the Infant is fully and perfectly baptized So as the signe of the Crosse being afterwards vsed doeth neither adde any thing to the vertue or perfection of Baptisme nor being omitted doeth detract any thing from the effect and substance of it Secondly it is apparant in the Communion Booke that the Infant baptized is by vertue of Baptisme before it be signed with the signe of the Crosse receiued into the Congregation of Christs flocke as a perfect member thereof and not by any power ascribed vnto the signe of the Crosse So that for the very remembrance of the Crosse which is very precious to all them that rightly beleeue in Iesu Christ and in the other respects mentioned the Church of England hath reteined still the signe of it in Baptisme following therein the Primitiue and Apostolicall Churches accounting it a lawful outward Ceremony honourable Badge whereby the Infant is dedicated to the seruice of him that died vpon the Crosse as by the words vsed in the Booke of Common prayer it may appeare Lastly the vse of the signe of the Crosse in Baptisme beeing thus purged from all Popish superstition and errour and reduced in the Church of England to the primary Institution of it vpon those true rules of Doctrine concerning things indifferent which are consonant to the word of God and the iudgements of all the ancient Fathers Wee hold it the part of euery priuate man both Minister and other reuerently to reteine the true vse of it prescribed by publike Authoritie considering that things of themselues indifferent doe in some sort alter their natures when they are either commanded or forbidden by a lawfull Magistrate and may not be omitted at euery mans pleasure contrary to the Law when they bee cōmanded nor vsed when they are prohibited ¶ Ministers their Ordination function and charge XXXI Foure solemne times appointed for the making of Ministers FOrasmuch as the ancient Fathers of the Church led by example of the Apostles appointed Prayers and Fasts to bee vsed at the solemne ordering of Ministers to that purpose allotted certaine times in which onely sacred Orders might be giuen or conferred We following their holy and Religious example doe constitute decree That no Deacons or Ministers be made and ordained but onely vpon the Sundayes immediatly following Ieiunia quatuor temporum commonly called Ember weekes appointed in ancient time for Prayer and Fasting purposely for this cause at their first Institution and so continued at this day in the Church of England and that this bee done in the Cathedrall or Parish Church where the Bishop resideth and in the time of diuine Seruice in the presence not onely of the
against any such Churchwarden Questmen Sidemen or other Church officers for making any such presentments nor against any Minister for any presentment that hee shall make all the said presentments tending to the restraint of shamelesse impietie and considering that the rules both of Charitie and Gouernment doe presume that they did nothing therein of malice but for the discharge of their consciences CXVI Churchwardens not bound to Present oftner then twice a yeere NO Churchwardens Questmen or Side-men of any Parish shall bee inforced to exhibite their presentments to any hauing Ecclesiasticall Iurisdiction aboue once in euery yeere where it hath bene no oftner vsed nor aboue twise in any Diocesse whatsoeuer except it be at the Bishops Visitation For the which presentments of euery Parish Church or Chappell the Register of any Court where they are to be exhibited shall not receiue in one yeere aboue foure pence vnder paine for euery offence therein of suspension from the execution of his Office for the space of a moneth toties quoties Prouided alwayes that as good occasion shall require it shall be lawfull for euery Minister Churchwardens and Side-men to present offenders as oft as they shall thinke meete And likewise for any godly disposed person or for any Ecclesiasticall Iudge vpon knowledge or notice giuen vnto him or them of any enormious crime within his Iurisdiction to moue the Minister Churchwardens or Sidemen as they tender the glory of God and reformation of sinne to present the same if they shall finde sufficient cause to induce them thereunto that it may bee in due time punished and reformed Prouided that for these voluntarie presentments there be no Fee required or taken of them vnder the paine aforesaid CXVII Churchwardens not to be troubled for not presenting oftner then twise a yeere NO Churchwardens Questmen or Side-men shall be called or cited but onely at the said time or times before limited to appeare before any Ecclesiasticall Iudge whosoeuer for refusing at other times to present any faults committed in their Parishes and punishable by Ecclesiasticall lawes Neither shall they nor any of them after their presentments exhibited at any of those times be any further troubled for the same except vpon manif●st and euident proofe it may appeare that they did then willingly and wittingly omit to present some such publike crime or crimes as they knew to be committed or could not be ignorant that there was then a publike fame of them or vnlesse there be very iust cause to call them for the explanation of their former presentments In which case of wilfull omission their Ordinaries shall proceed against them in such sort as in causes of wilfull periury in a Court Ecclesiasticall it is alreadie by Law prouided CXVIII The old Churchwardens to make their Presentments before the new be sworne THe office of al Churchwardens and Side-men shall bee reputed euer hereafter to continue vntill the new Churchwardens that shall succeed them be sworne which shal be the first weeke after Easter or some weeke following according to the direction of the Ordinary Which time so appointed shall alwayes be one of the two times in euery yeere when the Minister and Churchwardens and Sidemen of euery Parish shall exhibite to their seuerall Ordinaries the presentments of such enormities as haue happened in their Parishes since their last presentments And this duetie they shall performe before the newly chosen Churchwardens and Sidemen be sworne and shall not be suffered to passe ouer the said presentments to those that are newly come into office and are by intendment ignorant of such crimes vnder paine of those censures which are appointed for the reformation of such dalliers and dispensers with their owne consciences and oathes CXIX Conuenient time to be assigned for framing Presentments FOr the auoyding of such inconueniences as heretofore haue happened by the hasty making of Billes of Presentments vpon the dayes of the Visitation and Synods it is ordered That alwayes hereafter euery Chancellor Archdeacon Commissary and Officiall and euery other person hauing Ecclesiasticall Iurisdiction at the ordinary time when the Churchwardens are sworne and the Archbishop and Bishops when he or they doe summon their Visitation shall deliuer or cause to be deliuered to the Churchwardens Questmen and Sidemen of euery Parish or to some of them such Bookes of Articles as they or any of them shall require for the yeere following the said Churchwardens Questmen and Sidemen to ground their Presentments vpon at such times as they are to exhibite them In which Booke shall be contained the forme of the oath which must be taken immediatly before euery such Presentment to the intent that hauing before hand time sufficient not onely to peruse and consider what their sayd oath shal be but the Articles also whereupon they are to ground their Presentments they may frame them at home both aduisedly and truely to the discharge of their owne conscienences after they are sworne as becommeth honest and godly men CXX None to bee Cited into Ecclesiasticall Courts by Processe of Quorum nomina NO Bishop Chancellor Archdeacon Officiall or other Ecclesiasticall Iudge shall suffer any generall Processes of Quorum nomina to bee sent out of his Court except the names of all such as thereby are to be cited shal be first expresly entred by the hand of the Register or his Deputie vnder the said Processes and the sayd Processes and names be first subscribed by the Iudge or his Deputie and his Seale thereto affixed CXXI None to bee Cited into seuerall Courts for one crime IN places where the Bishop and Archdeacon doe by prescription or composition visite at seuerall times in one and the same yeere least for one and the selfe same fault any of his Maiesties Subiects should bee challenged molested in diuers Ecclesiastical Courts We order and appoint That euery Archdeacon or his Officiall within one moneth after the Visitation ended that yeere and the Presentments receiued shall certifie vnder his Hand and Seale to the Bishop or his Chancellor the names and Crimes of all such as are detected and presented in his said Visitation to the end the Chancellor shall thencefoorth forbeare to conuent any person for any Crime or cause so detected or presented to the Archdeacon And the Chancellor within the like time after the Bishops Visitation ended and Presentments receiued shall vnder his Hand and Seale signifie to the Archdeacon or his Official the names and Crimes of all such persons which shall be detected or presented vnto him in that Visitation to the same intent as is aforesaid And if these Officers shall not certifie each other as is here prescribed or after such certificate shall intermeddle with the crimes or persons detected and presented in each others Visitation then euery of them so offending shall be suspended from all exercise of his Iurisdiction by the Bishop of the Diocesse vntill he shall repay the costs and expences which the parties grieued haue bene at by that
nor any Register of any Ecclesiasticall Courts nor any Minister belonging to any of the said Officers or Courts shal hereafter for any cause incident to their seueral Offices take or receiue any other or greater Fees then such as were certified to the most Reuerend Father in God Iohn late Archbishop of Canterburie in the yeere of our Lord God one thousand fiue hundred ninetie and seuen and were by him ratified and approued vnder paine that euery such Iudge Officer or Minister offending herein shall be suspended from the exercise of their seuerall Offices for the space of sixe moneths for euery such offence Alwayes prouided that if any question shall arise concerning the certaintie of the said Fees or any of them then those Fees shall be held for lawfull which the Archbishop of Canterburie for the time being shall vnder his hand approoue except the Statutes of this Realme before made doe in any particular case expresse some other Fees to be due Prouided furthermore that no Fee or money shall bee receiued either by the Archbishop or any Bishop or Suffragan either directly or indirectly for admitting of any into sacred Orders nor that any other person or persons vnder the said Archbishop Bishop or Suffragan shall for Parchment Writing Waxe Sealing or any other respect thereunto appertaining take aboue ten shillings vnder such paines as are already by Law prescribed CXXXVI A Table of the Rates of Fees to bee set vp in Courts and Registries WE do likewise constitute and appoint that the Registers belonging to euery such Ecclesiasticall Iudge shall place two Tables containing the seuerall Rates and Summes of all the said Fees one in the vsuall place or Consistorie where the Court is kept and the other in his Registrie both of them in such sort as euery man whom it concerneth may without difficultie come to the view and perusall thereof and take a Copie of them the same Tables to be so set vp before the Feast of the Natiuitie next ensuing And if any Register shall faile to place the said Tables according to the tenor hereof he shal be suspended from the execution of his Office vntil he cause the same to be accordingly done and the said Tables being once set vp if hee shall at any time remooue or suffer the same to be remooued hidden or any way hindered from sight contrary to the true meaning of this Constitution he shall for euery such offence be suspended from the exercise of his Office for the space of sixe moneths CXXXVII The whole Fees for shewing letters of Orders and other Licenses due but once in euery Bishops time FOrasmuch as a chiefe and principall cause and vse of Visitation is that the Bishop Archdeacon or other assigned to Visite may get some good knowledge of the State Sufficiencie and Abilitie of the Cleargie and other persons whom they are to Visite Wee thinke it conuenient that euery Parson Vicar Curate Schoolemaster or other person licenced whosoeuer doe at the Bishops first Visitation or at the next Visitation after his Admission shew and exhibite vnto him his Letters of Orders Institution and Induction and all other his Dispensations Licences or Faculties whatsoeuer to bee by the said Bishop either allowed or if there be iust cause disallowed and reiected and being by him approued to be as the Custome is signed by the Register and that the whole Fees accustomed to bee payed in the Visitations in respect of the premisses bee payed onely once in the whole time of euery Bishop and afterwards but halfe of the saide accustomed Fees in euery other Visitation during the said Bishops continuance ¶ Apparitors CXXXVIII The number of Apparitors restrained FOrasmuch as wee are desirous to redresse such abuses and aggrieuances as are saide to grow by Sumners or Apparitors Wee thinke it meete that the multitude of Apparitors be as much as is possible abridged or restrained Wherefore we decree and ordaine that no Bishop or Archdeacon or their Vicars or Officials or other inferior Ordinaries shall depute or haue more Apparitors to serue in their Iurisdictions respectiuely then either they or their predecessors were accustomed to haue thirtie yeeres before the publishing of these our present Constitutions All which Apparitors shall by themselues faithfully execute their Offices neither shall they by any colour or pretence whatsoeuer cause or suffer their Mandats to be executed by any Messengers or Substitutes vnlesse it bee vpon some good cause to be first knowen and approued by the Ordinarie of the place Moreouer they shall not take vpon them the office of Promoters or Informers for the Court neither shall they exact more or greater Fees then are in these our Constitutions formerly prescribed And if either the number of the Apparitors deputed shall exceed the foresaid limitation or any of the saide Apparitors shall offend in any of the premisses the persons deputing them if they be Bishops shall vpon admonition of their superiour discharge the persons exceeding the number so limitted if inferiour Ordinaries they shall be suspended from the execution of their Office vntill they haue dismissed the Apparitors by them so deputed the parties themselues so deputed shall for euer be remooued from the Office of Apparitors and if being so remoued they desist not from the exercise of their said Offices let them be punished by Ecclesiasticall censures as persons contumacious Prouided that if vpon experience the number of the said Apparitors be too great in any Diocesse in the iudgement of the Archbishop of Canterbury for the time being they shall by him be so abridged as hee shall thinke meete and conuenient ¶ Authoritie of Synodes CXXXIX A Nationall Synode the Church representatiue WHosoeuer shall hereafter affirme that the Sacred Synode of this Nation in the Name of CHRIST and by the Kings Authoritie assembled is not the true Church of ENGLAND by representation let him be Excommunicated and not restored vntill hee repent and publikely reuoke that his wicked error CXL Synodes conclude as well the absent as the present WHosoeuer shall affirme that no maner of person either of the Clergie or Laitie not being themselues particularly assembled in the said sacred Synode are to be subiect to the Decrees thereof in causes Ecclesiasticall made and ratified by the Kings Maiesties supreme Authoritie as not hauing giuen their voices vnto them let him bee Excommunicated and not restored vntill hee repent and publikely reuoke that his wicked error CXLI Deprauers of the Synode censured WHosoeuer shall hereafter affirme That the sacred Synode assembled as aforesaid was a company of such persons as did conspire together against godly and Religious professors of the Gospel and that therefore both they and their proceedings in making of Canons and Constitutions in causes Ecclesiasticall by the Kings authoritie as aforesaid ought to be despised and contemned the same being ratified confirmed and enioyned by the said Regall Power Supremacie and Authoritie let them be Excommunicated and not restored vntill they repent and publikely reuoke that wicked error WE of our princely inclination and Royall care for the maintenance of the present Estate and Gouernement of the Church of ENGLAND by the Lawes of this our Realme now setled and established hauing diligently with great contentment and comfort read and considered of all these their sayd Canons Orders Ordinances and Constitutions agreed vpon as is before expressed and finding the same such as Wee are perswaded will bee very profitable not onely to our Clergie but to the whole Church of this our
