VI. Of the Original of Patronage and of Presentation Institution and Induction AS for Foundation and Erection of Churches c. The Patron designed the ground and building but the Bishops consent was required the Foundation being provided and Materials the B●shop comes in his Formalities in Person the Collare and Humerale and saith certain Prayers and Fumeth the Groundwork and the Singingmen say the ἀπολυτίκιον a kind of Collect for the Saint to whose Name the Church is Dedicated and crosseth the corner-stone and layeth the Foundation the Founder Endowed it For the particular manner of Consecration of Churches Vide Dr. Plot●s History of Staffordshire Several well minded good me● built Churches and endowed them with several parcels of Land and other immunities reserving to themselves their Heirs and Successors a Right and Power to bestow the said Churches and Lands on such Persons they thought fit and this Right of Presentation is called Advowson The Patrons in the Civil Law are called Advocati and P●tronia Patroci●o or Defence and they Present an Incumbent on every Vacancy Presentation It is nothing else but the nomination of a fit Person to the Bishop to be admitted instituted and inducted into the Church or Benefice which is void it is an instrument in the Nature of a Letter Missive directed to the Bishop and is usually in this Form Reverendissimo in Christo Patri Dom.

If a feme covert hath title to Present to a Church which is void she cannot present by her self but the Presentation must be in the Names of the Husband and Wife except in the case of the Queen If a Clerk be presented to the Bishop and the Bishop doth refuse to admit or institute him the Bishop must shew the particular cause why he doth refuse him and not generally that he is uncapable or Schismaticus Inveteraius Coke 5. Rep. Specot's case That a Clerk is a common haunter of Taverns or a player at unlawful Games are no good causes of refusal for tho they are Mala Prohibita yet they are not Mala in se But Heretick Schismatick Perjur'd Person Bastard Outlawed Illiterate are good causes to refuse so as the Bishop express the crime in certain by a Certificate but in such cases the Ordinary must give notice to the Patron of his refusal The Law hath appointed six Months ro the Patron to present his Clerk to the Bishop and if the Patron does not Present his Clerk accordingly then the Bishop shall Present

THE PARSON' 's Vade Mecum Containing choice Observations about the accounts of the Year Ecclesiastical Censures of the Primitive Fathers and their writings a Catalogue of the Arch-bishops Bishops and Deans in England and Wales their Election Consecration Instalment with the Clergies Tenths and their Valuation in the King's Book Degrees of Marriage Non-Residence Dispensations Pluralities Deprivation Dilapidations Tythes and Symony c. Very fit for the Perusal of all Clergy-men and Gentlemen Licensed Novemb. 4th 1692. E. Bohur London Printed for T. Salusbury at the King's-Arms near St. Dunstans Church in Fleetstreet 1693. THE EPISTLE TO THE Clergy-Reader Reverend Sir I Have perused several voluminous peices concerning the Acts Offices Qualifications and Priviledges of your Sacred Function and several other matters and Ecclesiastical Histories Laws and Statutes relating thereto but in some they lye scattered and immethodical and in others the treatises are so prolix that neither time nor money can well be spared by the inferiour laborious Clergy to read or purchase them I then thought it would be a work not unacceptable to cast my choicest observations into a methodical Abstract the persuance of which Thought hath produced this little Peice there are many new things inserted with which most of the Clergy are unacquainted and which they will take pleasure to be informed in The rest are notes out of the Laws and Statutes of this Kingdom under proper Titles and the abstract of Ecclesiastick Story which will be very instructive to you in many cases especially the Chapter of Tithes which comprehends the principal of the whole Learning thereof and many new cases lately adjudged are therein cited In short Parsons love to have good penniworths and I dare presume to say That after perusal of this you will not think twelve Pence ill bestowed I am your Humble Servant R. M. THE Parsons Vade Mecum CHAP. I. Short observations of the account and beginning of the Years and Days Of certain Feast-days And of Ember Weeks THE English Church and State begins the Year on the 25th day of March which is also observed in Spain The Portuguese begin the Year on the 29th day of August The Venetians on the first of March The Grecians on the longest day as the old Romans did on the shortest day The Natural Day consisting of Four and Twenty Hours is begun at midnight in England In Italy Bohemia and Poland their account is from Sun setting and at Noremberg and Wittenberg in Germany according to the old Babylonian account they begin the first hour after Sun-rising to count one of the Clock and so again at the first hour after Sun set Amongst the Jews the Night was divided into Four Quarters or Watches each Watch containing three Hours The first they called Caput Vigilarum The second the Middlewatch because it ended at Midnight The third began at Midnight and held till Three in the Morning Luke 12. 38. The last called the morning Watch began at three and ended at six Matt. 14. 25. In the Fourth Watch of the Night Jesus went to them the first was also called the Evening the second Midnight the third Cock-crowing the fourth Dawning Ye know not when the Master of the House will come at Even or at Midnight or at Cock-crowing or at the Dawn Matt. 13. 35. Their Day was likewise divided into Four Quarters Matt. 20. As appears by the Parable of the Vineyard The first Quarter began at six of the Clock in the Morning and held till nine The second Quarter ended at twelve The third Quarter at three in the afternoon and the fourth at six at night The first Quarter was called the third Hour The second Quarter the sixth Hour The third Quarter the ninth Hour and the fourth Quarter the eleventh Hour The Roman Account is ten Days before our English Account so that our first day of the Month is their Eleventh Day This is called Stylo Novo The Old Stile or Julian Account is observed by the English Nation and all other Reformed States except Holland and Zealand The new Stile or Gregorian Account is observed by all those still under the Romish Yoke Easter and other moveable Feasts in England are thus sound Shrovetuesday is always the f●rst Tuesday after the first New Moon of January except that New Moon happen on a Tuesday then the next is Shrovetuesday and the Sunday following is Quadragesima and the sixth Sunday after is Easter day and the fifth Sunday after Easter is Rogation Sunday and the Thursday following being forty Days after the Resurrection is Ascension Day ten Days after which or fifty Days after Easter is Pentecost or Whitsunday and the Sunday following is Trinity Sunday which computation of the Church of England agrees with all the Eastern Christian Churches and these Rules were generally received by all Christendom till Anno Dom. 1582. It was altered by the Pope yet it cannot be denied but that old Computation is become Erroneous For by our Rules two Easters will be observed in one Year as it was in the Year 1667. Advent Sunday is always the fourth Sunday before Christmass Day or the nearest Sunday to St. Andrews whether before or after Ember Days which the Antient Fathers call Quatuor Tempora are observed on Wednesday Fryday and Saturday next after Quadragesima Sunday Whitsunday Holy-rood-day in September and St. Lucyes day in December therefore the Lord L. Coke in his three Institutes Fol. 200. where he saith These Ember Days are next before Quadragesima is under a mistake they are called Ember Days because our Fore-fathers would in those Days Eat no Bread but Cakes made under Ashes and so it put them in mind they were but Ashes c. And that these days were devoutly observed by our Ancestors we may be perswaded out of the Laws of King Cnute Ch. 16. Let every man observe the Fasts which are commanded with earnest care whether it be the Imber Fast or Lent Fast The Ordination of Priests and Deacons is four times in the Year upon four several Sundays in the Ember Weeks CHAP. II. Of Ecclesiastical Censures THE Punishments inflicted by Ecclesiastical Courts proceed in this manner 1. Excommunicatio Minor From the Lord's Supper and he that is thus is disabled to be plaintiff in a Law Suit this commonly is for Contumacy in not appearing on Summons or not obeying Orders this the Bishop may delegate to any grave Priest with the Chancellor 2. Excommunicatio Minor As for Heresie Schism Incest c. pronounced by the Bishop himself If he continue so Excommunicate forty Days an Excommunicato Capiendo goes out against him and he is thereby Imprisoned 3. Anathamatismus Against an obstinate Heretick 4. Interdictum Whereby he is prohibited all Divine Offices as Christian Burial c. The Punishment of the Clergy is 1. Suspensio ab Officio 2. Suspensio a Beneficio 3. Deprivatio a Beneficio 4. Deprivatio ab Officio which is degradation Having met with an old Discourse about

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. For above a third part of the best Benefices of England being anciently by the Popes Grant Appropiated to Monasteries towards their Maintenance were upon the dissolution of the Monasteries made Lay-Fees CHAP.
