Certainty Court Ecclesiastical
Of certain Nuisances under the name of Courts
and of mockery of religion established by
Law.
"It is perhaps to be wished", says that Author of the
Principles of Penal Law "that this statute
[2g. C.2. c.g.] had gone a little further, and taken
from the spiritual court Arm every exercise of
Penal Jurisdiction.
A. Z. a poor Welshman, having not wherewithal
to pay the sum of 3s. 4d for a fee to a
rector was excommunicated. Of this foul
crime of Poverty, whereby he had deserved damnation
, and had been deservedly cut off from the
community of Christians, he was absolved at length in the
Church of kneeling, by the pronunciation
of a solemn and pathetic form of words, beginning
In the name of the Father & of the Son & of the Holy

Ghost. I mention it not as a matter of blame
to the officers who were concerned in the preparation
& representation of the religious farce, since the
fee might be & probably was partly due, &
there is was no other method of recovering it: I mention
as a scandal to the Law, while because the
Court happens to have the name of Ecclesiastical
One sees that the plain English of this
sentence is, The Lawyer has got his fee, money and
you may go about your business. But are
more ways than one of expressing the same
thing: and none have regularised themselves more
Ecclesiastics as the art of making great
things out of small [if unimportant things out of
---page break---
It might have been
as well if instead
of this
they had
given English
of it, & , the
lawyer , got his
money, & you
may go about your business
That there is an
art in making
great
in which some have
these
the the Ecclesiastics.
