Ut homines idonei ad sacros ordines, & Beneficia (uti vocant) Ecclesiastica admittantur.

RIMO cautum est, nequis posthàc ad sacros ordines suscipiatur, qui non eodem quoque tempore Præsentationem sui ipsius ad Beneficium aliquod intra diœcesim sive Jurisdictionem ejusdem Episcopi à quo sacros ordines petit, tunc vacans exhibuerit: vel qui non eidem Episcopo certum, verum & indubitatum Certificatorium tulerit de Ecclesia aliqua intra diœcesim sive Jurisdictionem dicti Episcopi, in qua curæ animarum inservire possit: Vel qui in aliqua Cathedrali aut Collegiata Ecclesia, vel Collegio Cantabrigiensi aut Oxoniensi non fuerit constitutus. Vel saltem, qui ab eodem Episcopo in Beneficium aliquod, sive ad Curam (uti vocant) inserviendam tunc etiam vacantem, nonsi, mox admittendus.

Vel saltem, nisi rationem fidei suæ juxta Articulos illos Regionis in Synodo Episcoporum & Cleri approbatos Latino sermone reddere possit, adeò ut sacrarum literarum testimonia, quibus eorundem, Articulorum veritas innititur, recitare etiam valeat: Adulteriùs, de vita sua laudabili & morum integritate literas testimoniales sub Sigillo vel alicujus Collegii Cantabrigiensis aut Oxoniensis, ubi antea moram fecerit, vel alicujus Justiciarii ad pacem D. Reginæ conservandum assignati, una cum subscriptione & testimonio aliorum proborum & fide dignorum hominum ejusdem Paræciæ, ubi per tres annos ante proximé elapsos commoratus est, exhibeat.
