For preaching and feeding of their flocks with care & conscience being a personal duty imposed on them by God himself, 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, hear, read the Word, or serve God by a Deputy, neglecting all these duties themselves. And if cures may be well discharged by a poor stipendiary Curate, I see no reason but Lay-patrons (as some Ecclesiastical do) may keep their Livings in their own hands when they fall, so as they procure a sufficient Clergy-man to discharge the cure, which they may do perchance with the tenth part of the profits: which some Non-residents think 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 pains at all, or very little. Certainly if 10. or 20. or 30. pounds a year be a sufficient stipend for an able painful 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 only in sloth, in pride, and idleness. I shall therefore desire all such Non-residents & Pluralists who feed their flocks by Substitutes, to consider the words of Guli. Peraldus Summa Virtutū ac Vitiorū. Tom. 2. Tit. Avaritia f. 59.60. (a most excellent discourse against Pluralists,) where thus he writes. Contra illos vero qui credunt se posse habere plura talia beneficia, quia vicarios ponunt. Primo dicimus, quod eadem ration 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 vero Pastor est, quae ratio est ut tu habeas duas Ecclesias, ipse vero nullam? Nunquid dicet tibi Johannes, id est gratia Dei, vel in quo est gratia Dei; Non licet tibi habere uxorem fratris tui? Quarto quaerimus à tali, utrum vicarius ill • it minus bonus, vel aeque 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 vero aeque bonus est vel melior, quae causa est, quod iste habeat duo beneficia, & ill nullum? Quinto, quod ipse deberet attendere quid acciderit de primo vicario Synagogae. Sic enim legitur Exodi. 32. Moses 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 ration ergo pauper vicarius spiritualia seminabit, & alius carnalia metet? Et quum Dominus dicat; Quos Deus conjunxit homo non separet: quo jure denarius ill quem subditus offert vicario pauperi sibi spiritualia seminanti, accipietur à patrono male vivente? Et si quo 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 primo 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. Vltimo 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.
• Nuns, many of them notorious Whores, and Bauds; who have clad themselves in man's apparel, shorn their hair, and entered into religion in Mon • staries as Monks, to satiate these their holy Votaries lusts. pag. 184.185, 201, 202, 203, 204, 879.880, 881, 885.
