we_o shall_v soon_o find_v what_o clamour_n will_v be_v make_v against_o they_o as_o overthrow_v the_o fundamental_a right_n and_o liberty_n of_o the_o people_n be_v there_o not_o the_o same_o reason_n in_o this_o case_n be_v there_o not_o great_a because_o these_o benefice_n be_v not_o freehold_v which_o be_v hold_v of_o the_o patron_n but_o they_o have_v only_o a_o right_a to_o present_v fit_a person_n to_o they_o but_o it_o may_v be_v that_o the_o defender_n of_o these_o bond_n will_v deny_v benefice_n to_o be_v freehold_v by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n it_o be_v easy_a to_o guess_v what_o some_o man_n will_v have_v they_o to_o be_v by_o these_o bond_n i_o be_o sure_a far_o enough_o from_o freehold_n but_o such_o private_a transaction_n can_v alter_v the_o nature_n of_o thing_n and_o we_o be_v now_o inquire_v what_o benefice_n be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o england_n it_o be_v dispute_v at_o common_a law_n in_o who_o the_o freehold_a of_o the_o glebeland_n of_o a_o benefice_n be_v 341._o during_o the_o avoidance_n and_o it_o be_v agree_v that_o it_o be_v neither_o in_o the_o patron_n nor_o ordinary_a because_o it_o be_v give_v to_o the_o incumbent_n and_o their_o successor_n and_o therefore_o they_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v then_o in_o abeyance_n which_o be_v a_o pretty_a way_n of_o express_v that_o the_o law_n take_v care_n that_o it_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o next_o incumbent_n notwithstanding_o the_o discontinuance_n by_o death_n of_o his_o predecessor_n and_o i_o think_v it_o have_v be_v as_o well_o say_v that_o it_o be_v in_o the_o law_n although_o not_o in_o any_o person_n but_o it_o be_v not_o dispute_v but_o that_o as_o soon_o as_o another_o incumbent_n be_v in_o possession_n the_o freehold_n be_v in_o he_o for_o those_o be_v littleton_n word_n sect._n 647._o and_o my_o lord_n coke_n say_v that_o the_o incumbent_n can_v be_v look_v on_o as_o a_o mere_a tenant_n for_o life_n because_o he_o may_v have_v such_o writ_n which_o none_o can_v have_v but_o a_o tenant_n in_o fee-simple_n or_o fee-tail_n and_o he_o may_v receive_v homage_n which_o tenant_n for_o life_n can_v do_v and_o for_o this_o he_o go_v as_o far_o back_o as_o the_o time_n of_o e._n 1._o but_o long_o before_o that_o in_o glanvil_n time_n which_o be_v of_o h._n 2._o it_o be_v say_v 20._o that_o he_o that_o be_v possess_v of_o a_o benefice_n by_o institution_n from_o the_o bishop_n and_o judge_v fit_a by_o he_o shall_v enjoy_v it_o for_o his_o life_n although_o the_o right_a of_o advowson_n be_v dispute_v which_o be_v several_a time_n affirm_v by_o my_o lord_n coke_n upon_o good_a reason_n in_o one_o place_n he_o say_v that_o at_o the_o common_a law_n b._n if_o a_o church_n be_v once_o full_a the_o incumbent_n can_v not_o be_v remove_v except_v just_a cause_n of_o deprivation_n and_o plenarty_a general_o be_v a_o good_a plea_n in_o a_o quare_fw-la impedit_fw-la or_o assize_n of_o darein_a presentment_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v to_o the_o intent_n the_o incumbent_n may_v apply_v himself_o to_o his_o spiritual_a charge_n 2._o the_o law_n intend_v that_o the_o bishop_n that_o have_v cure_n of_o soul_n within_o his_o diocese_n will_v admit_v and_o institute_v a_o able_a man_n for_o the_o discharge_v of_o his_o duty_n and_o his_o own_o and_o that_o the_o bishop_n will_v do_v right_a to_o every_o patron_n in_o his_o diocese_n in_o another_o place_n he_o say_v 357._o that_o by_o the_o order_n of_o common_a law_n if_o one_o have_v present_v unto_o a_o church_n whereto_o he_o have_v no_o right_n and_o the_o bishop_n have_v admit_v and_o institute_v his_o clerk_n this_o incumbent_n can_v not_o be_v remove_v for_o divers_a reason_n 1._o for_o that_o he_o come_v into_o the_o church_n by_o a_o judicial_a act_n of_o the_o bishop_n 2._o that_o by_o the_o common_a law_n in_o every_o town_n and_o parish_n there_o ought_v to_o be_v persona_fw-la idonea_fw-la and_o when_o the_o bishop_n have_v admit_v he_o able_a which_o imply_v that_o he_o be_v idonea_fw-la persona_fw-la than_o the_o law_n have_v his_o final_a intention_n viz._n that_o the_o church_n shall_v be_v sufficient_o provide_v for_o 3._o that_o the_o incumbent_n have_v curam_fw-la animarum_fw-la might_n the_o more_o effectual_o and_o peaceable_o intend_v so_o great_a charge_n the_o common_a law_n provide_v that_o after_o institution_n he_o shall_v

without_o regard_n of_o title_n either_o by_o descent_n or_o purchase_n or_o of_o any_o estate_n be_v these_o thing_n consistent_a with_o bond_n of_o resignation_n but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o

not_o to_o regard_v so_o much_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o party_n as_o the_o nature_n and_o consequence_n of_o the_o act_n itself_o if_o it_o be_v a_o illegal_a thing_n and_o tend_v to_o subvert_v the_o right_n of_o the_o church_n it_o can_v make_v it_o legal_a to_o say_v that_o it_o be_v his_o own_o act._n now_o as_o to_o this_o kind_n of_o resignation_n we_o be_v to_o consider_v these_o two_o thing_n 1._o that_o if_o the_o resignation_n be_v not_o into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o bishop_n it_o be_v a_o illegal_a act_n and_o void_a of_o itself_o 2._o that_o if_o it_o be_v into_o the_o bishop_n hand_n he_o have_v the_o power_n in_o law_n to_o accept_v it_o or_o not_o 1._o that_o the_o resignation_n must_v be_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o bishop_n for_o a_o resignation_n into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o patron_n be_v by_o the_o canon_n law_n declare_v to_o be_v null_n and_o void_a of_o itself_o so_o innocent_a iu._n ad_fw-la c._n 6._o de_fw-la rerum_fw-la per._n and_o this_o

especial_o how_o far_o this_o part_n of_o the_o canon_n law_n be_v here_o receive_v and_o we_o can_v have_v no_o better_o a_o judge_n in_o this_o case_n than_o lyndwood_n who_o say_v positive_o lepra_fw-la that_o renuntiatio_fw-la facta_fw-la in_o manus_fw-la laici_fw-la etiam_fw-la sponte_fw-la non_fw-la tenet_fw-la i._n e._n a_o resignation_n make_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o lay-patron_n if_o it_o be_v never_o so_o free_a do_v not_o hold_v and_o therefore_o he_o say_v it_o must_v be_v make_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o he_o who_o have_v the_o ordinary_a jurisdiction_n and_o therefore_o have_v power_n to_o admit_v he_o observe_v two_o thing_n very_o material_a as_o to_o the_o point_n of_o resignation_n 1._o that_o a_o voluntary_a resignation_n though_o not_o to_o the_o ordinary_a deprive_v the_o party_n of_o the_o possession_n so_o as_o he_o can_v recover_v although_o he_o be_v not_o whole_o devest_v of_o the_o property_n or_o right_o to_o the_o thing_n quia_fw-la sine_fw-la consensu_fw-la superioris_fw-la non_fw-la tenet_fw-la resignatio_fw-la and_o this_o be_v found_v on_o that_o fundamental_a reason_n that_o the_o care_n of_o the_o diocese_n belong_v to_o he_o who_o have_v the_o ordinary_a jurisdiction_n who_o be_v the_o bishop_n but_o as_o lyndwood_n observe_v by_o custom_n and_o composition_n this_o be_v put_v into_o other_o hand_n as_o in_o place_n of_o exempt_a jurisdiction_n and_o so_o where_o the_o power_n of_o grant_v institution_n be_v lodge_v by_o the_o bishop_n consent_n and_o a_o prescription_n upon_o it_o there_o be_v a_o power_n likewise_o of_o receive_v a_o resignation_n but_o not_o in_o any_o who_o have_v only_o a_o delegated_a power_n from_o the_o bishop_n for_o there_o be_v a_o difference_n in_o law_n and_o reason_n between_o a_o ordinary_a power_n depend_v on_o a_o ancient_a prescription_n and_o composition_n as_o it_o be_v in_o several_a place_n in_o the_o dean_n and_o chapter_n within_o certain_a precinct_n and_o a_o ordinary_a power_n in_o a_o substitute_n as_o a_o chancellor_n or_o vicar-general_n for_o although_o such_o a_o officer_n

to_o the_o pope_n and_o if_o he_o be_v unjust_o refuse_v the_o bishop_n be_v bind_v to_o provide_v for_o he_o but_o during_o the_o appeal_n the_o patron_n may_v present_v another_o who_o if_o the_o bishop_n approve_v the_o appeal_n do_v fall_v rebuffus_n 10._o a_o note_a lawyer_n say_v that_o it_o be_v a_o damn_v sin_n in_o a_o bishop_n not_o to_o examine_v the_o fitness_n of_o those_o who_o be_v present_v by_o patron_n and_o a_o late_a learned_a french_a canonist_n say_v those_o be_v to_o blame_v who_o lie_v the_o fault_n of_o so_o many_o unworthy_a man_n be_v in_o place_n on_o the_o lay_v patron_n 25._o for_o say_v he_o the_o bishop_n be_v to_o blame_v who_o be_v bind_v to_o examine_v and_o if_o they_o see_v cause_n to_o reject_v they_o so_o that_o we_o have_v not_o only_o our_o own_o law_n but_o the_o general_n consent_v of_o the_o christian_a world_n where_o the_o right_a of_o patronage_n be_v allow_v as_o to_o the_o bishop_n right_o of_o examine_v and_o judge_v the_o fitness_n of_o person_n present_v to_o benefice_n 2._o the_o right_n of_o collation_n upon_o lapse_n belong_v to_o the_o bishop_n notwithstanding_o the_o right_n of_o patronage_n it_o be_v say_v by_o lord_n hobart_n 154._o that_o a_o lapse_n be_v not_o a_o interest_n natural_o but_o a_o mere_a trust_n in_o law_n and_o afterward_o that_o the_o ordinary_a or_o he_o that_o be_v to_o present_v by_o lapse_n be_v as_o a_o kind_n of_o attorney_n make_v by_o law_n to_o do_v that_o for_o the_o patron_n which_o it_o be_v suppose_v he_o will_v do_v himself_o if_o there_o be_v not_o some_o let_v and_o therefore_o the_o collation_n by_o lapse_n be_v in_o the_o right_n of_o the_o patron_n and_o for_o his_o turn_n this_o seem_v to_o i_o to_o be_v a_o mistake_a notion_n of_o a_o lapse_n for_o the_o true_a question_n be_v whether_o upon_o a_o lapse_n the_o ordinary_a do_v collate_n jure_fw-la pleno_fw-la or_o jure_fw-la devoluto_fw-la some_o french_a lawyer_n hold_v the_o latter_a 145._o but_o car._n molinaeus_n and_o other_o utter_o reject_v that_o opinion_n for_o this_o reason_n because_o church_n and_o dioceses_n be_v jure_fw-la communi_fw-la under_o the_o care_n of_o the_o bishop_n but_o it_o be_v by_o particular_a indulgence_n that_o the_o patron_n have_v the_o right_n of_o presentation_n which_o be_v neglect_v thing_n do_v return_v to_o common_a right_n and_o therefore_o the_o bishop_n have_v a_o true_a interest_n and_o act_v not_o in_o the_o right_n of_o the_o patron_n but_o his_o own_o it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v a_o devolution_n afterward_o by_o our_o law_n for_o as_o the_o author_n of_o the_o doctor_n and_o student_n say_v 125._o the_o law_n of_o the_o realm_n be_v that_o if_o a_o benefice_n fall_v void_a than_o the_o patron_n shall_v present_v within_o six_o month_n and_o if_o he_o do_v not_o that_o then_o the_o ordinary_n shall_v present_v but_o yet_o the_o law_n be_v far_a in_o this_o case_n that_o if_o the_o patron_n present_a before_o the_o ordinary_a put-in_a his_o clerk_n that_o then_o the_o patron_n shall_v enjoy_v his_o presentment_n and_o so_o it_o be_v though_o the_o time_n shall_v fall_v to_o the_o metropolitan_a for_o as_o he_o say_v by_o our_o law_n if_o the_o bishop_n do_v not_o collate_n within_o six_o month_n than_o the_o metropolitan_a present_n but_o this_o be_v by_o a_o right_n of_o devolution_n and_o then_o why_o not_o the_o other_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o the_o bishop_n be_v ordinary_a of_o the_o diocese_n and_o therefore_o it_o come_v to_o he_o of_o common_a right_n but_o it_o fall_v to_o the_o archbishop_n not_o as_o ordinary_a but_o as_o superior_a to_o who_o the_o right_a of_o devolution_n fall_v upon_o the_o inferiour_n neglect_n for_o although_o in_o some_o respect_n and_o in_o the_o except_v case_n the_o archbishop_n may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v ordinary_a of_o the_o whole_a province_n yet_o that_o be_v not_o so_o much_o in_o respect_n of_o immediate_a jurisdiction_n 27._o which_o hobart_n and_o other_o say_v be_v by_o virtue_n of_o the_o legatine_n power_n which_o be_v annex_v to_o his_o see_n but_o the_o archbishop_n have_v a_o power_n as_o metropolitan_a to_o supply_v the_o defect_n of_o the_o suffragans_fw-la of_o his_o province_n and_o so_o this_o right_n of_o collate_v upon_o defect_n of_o the_o ordinary_a come_v to_o he_o by_o right_a of_o devolution_n but_o how_o then_o come_v the_o king_n to_o his_o right_n after_o the_o metropolitan_n neglect_n that_o be_v 124._o say_v our_o lawyer_n because_o the_o king_n be_v patron_n paramount_n of_o all_o the_o benefice_n within_o the_o realm_n b._n the_o meaning_n be_v that_o the_o king_n by_o right_n of_o his_o crown_n be_v to_o see_v that_o all_o place_n be_v due_o supply_v with_o person_n fit_a for_o they_o and_o if_o all_o other_o who_o the_o law_n have_v entrust_v do_v neglect_v their_o duty_n then_o by_o the_o natural_a order_n and_o course_n of_o government_n it_o fall_v to_o the_o supreme_a power_n which_o be_v to_o supply_v defect_n and_o to_o reform_v abuse_n 3._o the_o bishop_n have_v the_o right_a of_o make_v a_o avoidance_n by_o deprivation_n or_o resignation_n for_o as_o he_o have_v the_o power_n of_o putting-in_a so_o the_o law_n have_v lodge_v in_o he_o the_o judicial_a power_n of_o proceed_v against_o offender_n and_o have_v not_o leave_v that_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o patron_n if_o we_o inquire_v who_o by_o our_o law_n be_v make_v the_o proper_a judge_n of_o a_o benefice_a person_n whether_o he_o behave_v himself_o so_o as_o to_o deserve_v to_o lose_v his_o benefice_n will_v any_o one_o say_v that_o the_o law_n have_v put_v this_o into_o the_o patron_n be_v hand_n yet_o all_o those_o who_o justify_v these_o bond_n of_o resignation_n must_v in_o effect_n say_v that_o the_o
