Iude 3.5. all which condemne Non-residency, and Non-residents, who act their parts in Hell. pag. 13. and goe to Heaven by their Curates, to Hell by themselves. pag. 88. For preaching and feeding of their flocks with care & conscience being a personall duty imposed on them by God himselfe, as the very essence of their function, they can no more discharge it by a Substitute, then themselves or Laymen can receive the Sacrament, pray, heare, read the Word, or serve God by a Deputy, neglecting all these duties themselves. And if cures may bee well discharged by a poore stipendiary Curate, I see no reason but Lay-patrons (as some Ecclesiasticall doe) may keepe their Livings in their owne hands when they fall, so as they procure a sufficient Clergie-man to discharge the cure, which they may doe perchance with the tenth part of the profits: which some Non-residents thinke too much for a laborious learned Curate who takes all the toile, when as two or three good Livings is not sufficient for themselves, who take no paines at all, or very little. Certainely if 10. or 20. or 30. pounds a yeere be a sufficient stipend for an able painefull Substitute, (perchance a man of more worth, more learning, and of a greater charge then his Master Non-resident) it must needs be a more then sufficient competency for the negligent Encūbent, who transcends not his Curate, either in function, or desert, but onelyonly in sloath, in pride, and idlenesse. I shall therefore desire all such Non-residents & Pluralists who feed their flockes by Substitutes, to consider the words of Guli. Peraldus Summa Virtutū ac Vitiorū. Tom. 2. Tit. Avaritia f. 59.60. (a most excellēt discourse against Pluralists,) where thus he writes. Contra illos verò qui credunt se posse habere plura talia beneficia, quia vicarios ponunt. Primò dicimus, quod eadem ratione Laīcus unus, immo etiam mulier posset habere decē beneficia ecclesiastica: posset enim ponere vicarios. Praeterea, ridiculum est matrimonium contrahere spe ponendi vicarium; & qui hoc facit, videtur incidisse in illam maledictionem. Deutronomij 18. Vxorem habebit & alius dormiet cum ea. Tertio, quaerimus de Vicario eo, utrum …it Pastor vel mercenarius? Si mercenarius est, latro est, sicut prius ostensum est. Quum ergo dicit aliquis, Bene possum habere hoc beneficium, quia ponam ibi vicarium, paene idem est ac si dicat; Bene possum illud habere, quia ponam ibi Latronem, qui furetur, & mactet, & perdat; Ioannis 10… Si verò Pastor est, quae ratio est ut tu habeas duas Ecclesias, ipse vero nullam? Nunquid dicet tibi Ioannes, id est gratia Dei, vel in quo est gratia Dei; Non licet tibi habere uxorem fratris tui? Quarto quaerimus à tali, utrum vicarius ille …it minus bonus, vel aequè bonus, vel melior quam ipse? Si minus bonus, tunc naturalis ratio dictat, quod non est recipiendus pro eo. Operarius n… in vineam alicujus conductus, non potest vicarium minus bonum pon…re. Si verò aeque bonus est vel melior, quae causa est, quod iste habeat duo beneficia, & ille nullum? Quintò, quod ipse deberet attendere quid acciderit de primo vicario Synagogae. Sic enim legitur Exodi. 32. Moyses relinquens populum, satis parvam moram facturus cum Domino, dimisit vicarium satis bonum Aaron, & tamen in reditu populum quem reliquerat fidelem, infidelem & idololatram invenit. Praeterea dixit Apostolus, quod si quis non laborat, non manducet. Quo jure igitur pascitur aliquis de beneficio illo ubi ipse non laborat? Ordinavit Deus, ut qui seminat spiritualia, metat carnalia. Qua ratione ergò pauper vicarius spiritualia seminabit, & alius carnalia metet? Et quum Dominus dicat; Quos Deus conjunxit homo non separet: quo jure denarius ille quem subditus offert vicario pauperi sibi spiritualia seminanti, accipietur à patrono male vivente? Et si quò ad forum contensiosum jus ibi… videatur habere: tamen quoad judicium sac…ae Scripturae ipse raptor est, usurpans sibi alterum eorum quae à Deo conjuncta sunt sine reliquo; id est mercedem sine Iabore: immo etiam homicida reputatur, & respectu mercenarij quem defraudat, & respectu pauperum subditorum quorum sudorem comedit. De primò legitur. Ecclesiast. 33. Qui effundit sanguinem, & qui fraudem facit mercenario, fratres sunt. De secundo …egitur ibidem. Qui aufert in sudore panem quasi qui occidit proximum suum. Vltimò dicemus, quod illi qui vicarium ponunt, qui sola cupiditate lucri serviunt, & non amore Dei, talem amorem faciunt matri suae ecclesiae qualem amorem aliquis faceret matri suae carnali, si pedem verum ei auferret, & loco ejus pedem ligneum sub…itueret. Pes ligneus non vivit neque corpori adhaeret. Si… vicarius qui charitatem non habet non est membrum vivum vita spirituali, nec adhaeret corpori ecclesiae. Sola n. charitate vivit quis, & adhaeret caeteris membris Ecclesiae. See much more to this p…rpose in that pithy… Discourse.

Nonnes, many of them notorious Whores, and Bawdes; who have clad themselves in mans apparell, shorne their haire, and entred into religion in Mon…staries as Monkes, to satiate these their holy Votaries lusts. pag. 184.185, 201, 202, 203, 204, 879.880, 881, 885. See William Wraghton his Hunting of the Romish Fox. fol. 24. and Iohn Bale his Acts of English Votaries. Cambdeni Britta. Glocester-shire, Barkly Castle. Their haire shaven off when they enter into Orders. pag. 201.202, 203, 204. Yet Ioannes de Wankel. Clementinarum Constit. Tit. de Statu Monachorum. f. 64. propounds this question. An moniales possint nutrire comam, aut debeant sibi crines praescindere? & Hostiensis Sum. lib. 1. Tit. de Tempore ordinationis, &c. concludes: Quod mulieribus ordines non sunt conferendi, quia nec tonsurari debent, nec mulieris coma amputanda est: quoting Gratian Distinct. 30. to warrant it. See Summa Angelica. Faemina. sect. 1. & Sum, Rosella. Faemina. 2. accordingly.
