§.3. Ante-Reformation.

1
Even under Constantine
choice of pastor was left
to the flock. p.1

2
When tythes arose, this
costly sacrifice from
the proprietor of the
land, could not but
draw on as of course
the choice of the person
benefitted by the do benefitting
p.1

3
In those days
when the ignorant
proprietor ingrossed
with hounds and
hawks was ill qualified
to choose, the dependant
clowns were still
worse so. p.1

4
By operation of this
principle, the choice
of these instructors
became distributed among
a variety of
hands.

I. In quality of great
proprietors the Monarch
the benefices
turned over to Ld Chancellor
on account of comparative
smallness of value
form even now

II. Next to King stand
Bishops and Archbishops,
who during contest
of the Kings with Popes,
being some natives, others
foreigners, would fill the
benefices attached to their
sees, with their dependants
and countrymen.
p2.

III. Dean & Chapter —
Walking & eating figures
attached to each Bishop's
see. p.2

§.3. Ante-Reformation

5
Under successive conveyances
— whoever became
proprietor of the land
was entitled, unless by
special exception, to the
Ecclesiastical presentation
subject to the approbation
of a Bishop.

Thus the right of nomination
has, with
more scandal than real
evil, passed from hand
to hand to the best bidder
to a Jew or Catholic as well as any
other. p.

6
To enter into examination
of the different
classes into whose hands
this trust fell before the
Reformation, would
have little use with a
view to their comparative
fitness but under present
English practice
may have use. p

§.4. Post-Reformation

1
Under this, little concerning
the principal
head can be said.
p.1

2
Before Reformation
a great proportion of
English benefices were
in the hands of the monks,
who taking to themselves
the tythes, administered
the duty, or no duty
by one of their own
number. p.1

3
Such benefices termed
bicarages. p1.

4
On dissolution of monasteries,
H.8. dissipated
for the most part,
this vast portion of
the national wealth on
his favorites, reserving
small tythes for Pastor
The appointment
being
on the same footing as
the Rectories. p.1
