Excommunication out of the Canterbury Book I shall here set it down word for word as it was wrote in those times More of Excommunication the Old Form THE general Sense of Execration was usually denounced four times a year the Greater and the Lesser Curse The Canterbury Book saith Wherefore ye Shullen understand at the beginning that this word Curse is thus much to say as departing from God and Good Works Of two manner of Cursing Holy Church telleth the one is cleped the Lasse Curse the other is cleped the More Curse That we clepen the Lasse Curse is of this strength that every man and woman that falleth therein it departeth him from all the Sacraments that been in Holy Church that they may none of them receive till they be assoyled c. The More Curse is much more worse and is of this strength for to depart a man from God and all the Holy Church and also from the Company of all Christen Folk ne to be saved by the Passion of Christ ne to be holpen by the Sacraments that been done in Holy Church c. After repeating the Articles of the Curse the General Sentence was thundred out every Quarter as the Canterbury Book saith By the authority of our Lord God Almighty and our Lady St. Mary and all Saints of Heaven of Angels or Archangels Patriarks and Prophets Evangelists Apostles Martyrs Confessors and Virgins also by the Power of all Holy Church that our Lord Jesus gave to St Peter We denounce all those Accursed that we have thus reckned to you and all those that maintain 'em in her sins or given 'em hereto either help or councel so that they be departed from God and all Holy Church and that they have noe of the Passion of our Lord Jesu Christ ne of no Sacraments that been in Holy Church ne no part of the Prayers amen Christen Folk but that they be accursed of God and of Holy Church from their soole of their foot unto the crowne of their head sleeping and Waking sitting and Standing in all her words and in all her Works and but if they have grace of God for to amend 'em herein this Life for to dwell in the Paine of Hell for ever withouten end Fiat Fiat doe to the Book quench the Candle ring the Bell Amen Amen CHAP. III. Of Bishops and Deans Election Consecration Installation c. NEXT to the two Arch bishops are the Bishops of London Durham and Winchester the order of the rest being by no other rule than the Priority of their Consecration The manner of making a Bishop is thus When a Bishops Sea becomes vacant the Dean and Chapter give notice of it to the King and request him to give them leave to chuse another whereupon the King grants them his Conge D'eslire i. e. leave to Elect and usually recommends one Then the Dean summons a Chapter and they Elect and they certifie the Party Elected who having accepted it it is certified to the King and the Arch-bishop of the Province whereupon the King gives his Royal Assent under the great Seal of England which is exhibited to the Arch-bishop of that Province with command to Confirm and Consecrate him then the Arch-bishop Subscribes Fiat Confirmatio and gives commission under his Episcopal Seal to his Vicar general to perform all Acts thereto required after which the Bishop elect takes the Oaths of Supremacy Simony and Canonical Obedience Sometime after this follows the Consecration which in the inferiour Clergy is called Ordination which is performed by the Arch-bishop of the Province or some other Bishop commissioned by him with the assistance of two other Bishops in the Arch-bishops Chappel upon a Sunday or an Holyday after Morning Service Next follows his Installation by vertue of a Mandate from the Arch-bishop to the Arch deacon of his Province This is performed in the Cathedral Church in the presence of a publick notary and the Arch deacon with the Petty Canons accompany the Bishop to the Quire and there place him in a Seat prepared for him and Te Deum is Sung and then the Bishop is conducted into the Chapter-house after this he is introduced into the King's Presence to do his Homage for his Temporalities or Barony and then he compounds for the first Fruits of his Bishoprick The Bishops write Divinae Permissione the Arch-bishop writes himself Divina Providentia The inferiour Bishops are stiled right reverend Fathers in God the Arch-bishops most reverend Deans Arch-deacon and Prebendaries are the Dignified Clergy Deans of the Old Foundations which were before the Suppression of Monasteries are brought to their Dignities much like Bishops Whereas the Deans of the New Foundations upon suppression of Abbies are installed a much shorter way by ve●tue of the King's Letters Patents without either Election or Confirmation The chief of the Prebendaries is the Subdean who supplies the Deans Place in his Absence The Archdeacons upon the Bishops Mandate are to induct Clerks into their Benefices Vicars properly Officiate in those Livings which are called Impropriations of which there are in England no less than 3845.

Arrianism having got a little riddance in Brittain Pelagianism succeeded Pelagius was born in Brittain his name Morgan i. e. near the Sea Hence his Latin Name And the same day Pelagius was born in Brittain St. Austin was born in Africk His main Errors are 1.

The first Lent was kept in England In the space of 82 years the whole Saxon Heptarchy was converted to Christianity Anno 709. A Synod was called at London to introduce into England the Doctrine of Image worship Binnius and Baronius say it was brought in by St. Austin the Monk But it is very improbable Austin would deliver a Doctrine point blank against Gregory that sent him who most zealously inveighed against all worship of Images in his Epistle ad Serenum Massiliensem Venerable Bede was born in this Age.
