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.

by Lapse a Clerk of his own choosing This is called in Law a Collation and if the Bishop shall not Collate within six Months then the Archbishop shall Collate his Clerk and if the Archbishop do not Collate within six Months then the King shall Present The six Months shall be accounted according to the Calendar and not according to 28 days to the Month. If the Church become void by Death of the incumbent the six Months shall be accounted from the time of his Death So it is if the Church become void by Creation i. e. by making the present incumbent there of a Bishop but if the Church become void by Resignation which Resignation must be made to the Bishop or by Deprivation then the Bishop must give notice of such Resignation or Deprivation and the six Months shall be accounted from the time of such notice If the King be Patron and doth not present his Clerk to the Church within six Months there the Ordinary ought not de jure to Collate in regard of the said Lapse he ought only to Sequest the Profits of the Church till the King will Present A common Person cannot revoke repeal or vary from his first Presentation because he hath put it out of himself and he hath given the Bishop power to perfect what he himself began yet before Induction the King may revoke his Presentment Before the Clerk is admitted and instituted he ought to be examined by the Bishop If once the Bishop refuseth a Man for insufficiency he cannot afterwards accept of him The Clerk is not bound to shew his Letters of Orders or Letters Testimonial to the Bishop upon his Examination Trin. 43.

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
