The displacing of them which are already ordered, though not qualified according to statute (not being otherwise criminous in life) would breed many inconveniences and troubles in the state and call many things into needless questions, as marriages, christenings, etc. and bring a great infamy to this whole church. Nevertheless, it is by article already provided that the statute hereafter be observed, and such bishops duly punished as shall break the same. And yet the statute doth give liberty to the bishop to admit such into the ministry as cannot speak Latin. For these are the words of the statute, viz.: ‘That none shall be admitted into the ministry unless he be able to answer and render to the ordinary an account of his faith in Latin, according to the said articles. Or have special gift and ability to be a preacher.’ Which or, being a disjunctive, giveth too large a scope to the admittance of lack-Latin ministers, and therefore in the articles already exhibited to her majesty we have left it out.
