encouragement_n of_o those_o in_o holy_a order_n to_o attend_v upon_o the_o service_n of_o god_n in_o they_o and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n have_v so_o annex_v the_o spiritual_a duty_n with_o the_o temporal_a advantage_n that_o no_o one_o can_v be_v capable_a of_o the_o latter_a that_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o the_o other_o so_o that_o the_o right_n of_o discharge_v a_o spiritual_a trust_n and_o the_o right_n of_o enjoy_v the_o profit_n go_v together_o but_o to_o prevent_v the_o unspeakable_a mischief_n of_o purchase_v the_o profit_n which_o be_v devote_v to_o such_o a_o spiritual_a use_n this_o have_v be_v call_v by_o the_o detestable_a name_n of_o simony_n and_o very_o severe_a law_n have_v be_v make_v not_o only_o against_o the_o give_n of_o money_n but_o the_o use_n of_o any_o indirect_a mean_n to_o obtain_v a_o presentation_n because_o such_o thing_n do_v lessen_v the_o esteem_n of_o those_o who_o use_v they_o and_o not_o only_o thereby_o make_v they_o more_o uncapable_a of_o do_v service_n but_o expose_v the_o sacred_a function_n itself_o to_o contempt_n 2._o another_o great_a end_n of_o these_o law_n be_v to_o keep_v the_o clergy_n from_o oppression_n and_o slavery_n i_o be_o far_o from_o go_v about_o to_o lessen_v the_o just_a and_o legal_a right_n of_o patron_n who_o by_o our_o law_n enjoy_v some_o privilege_n which_o be_v not_o allow_v they_o in_o other_o country_n where_o the_o ecclesiastical_a law_n be_v strict_a than_o here_o in_o england_n as_o in_o the_o liberty_n of_o sell_v the_o right_n of_o advowsons_n their_o trial_n at_o common_a law_n the_o six_o month_n for_o patron_n etc._n etc._n but_o for_o our_o right_a understanding_n the_o present_a matter_n it_o must_v be_v consider_v as_o to_o the_o right_n of_o patron_n that_o it_o be_v not_o a_o original_a and_o absolute_a right_o to_o dispose_v of_o benefice_n as_o they_o please_v but_o a_o limit_a trust_n repose_v in_o they_o to_o put-in_a fit_a person_n to_o discharge_v the_o duty_n of_o their_o place_n it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v to_o all_o person_n who_o have_v look_v into_o these_o matter_n that_o in_o the_o first_o settlement_n of_o this_o church_n of_o england_n the_o bishop_n of_o the_o several_a diocese_n have_v they_o under_o their_o own_o immediate_a care_n and_o that_o they_o have_v the_o clergy_n live_v in_o a_o community_n with_o they_o who_o they_o send_v abroad_o to_o several_a part_n of_o their_o diocese_n as_o they_o see_v occasion_n to_o employ_v they_o but_o that_o by_o degree_n they_o see_v a_o necessity_n of_o fix_v presbyter_n within_o such_o a_o compass_n to_o attend_v upon_o the_o service_n of_o god_n among_o the_o people_n that_o be_v the_o inhabitant_n that_o these_o precinct_n which_o be_v since_o call_v parish_n be_v at_o first_o much_o large_a and_o cast_v into_o such_o division_n in_o each_o diocese_n as_o probable_o make_v up_o the_o several_a deanery_n since_o that_o when_o lord_n of_o manor_n be_v incline_v to_o build_v church_n for_o their_o own_o conveniency_n they_o find_v it_o necessary_a to_o make_v some_o endowment_n to_o oblige_v those_o who_o officiate_v in_o their_o church_n to_o a_o diligent_a attendance_n that_o upon_o this_o the_o several_a bishop_n be_v very_o well_o content_a to_o let_v those_o patron_n have_v the_o nomination_n of_o person_n to_o those_o church_n provide_v they_o be_v satisfy_v of_o the_o fitness_n of_o those_o person_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o defer_v beyond_o such_o a_o limit_a time_n so_o that_o the_o right_n of_o patronage_n be_v
