This is also to be noted, that at the beginning of our Reformation, such an indigence there was of Ministers, as made it necessary to take in some Artificers, and to fill up Vacant Cures with them. These Men did not demean themselves so decently as became the Character conferred on them. Something still stuck by them, savouring of their former education and manner of living. Therefore anno 1560, a Letter from Matthew Parker, newly consecrated Archbishop of Canterbury, was directed to Edmund Grindal Bishop of London, signifying, that whereas lately for want of Ministers, they had ordained several Artificers, who had behaved themselves not to the credit of the Gospel, care should be taken that no more Artificers might be ordained for the futur. Regist. Grindal. MSS. fol. 7. The reputation of our Church suffered upon the occasion of these Men, the Papists not being wanting to upbraid and reproach us with them, as appears from Rastal 's Answer to Bishop Jewel 's Challenge. See Heylin's Hist. of the Reform. Eliz. pag. 175. But our Church was then in a State of Infancy, and a Generation of better and abler Men quickly sprang up that superseded the necessity of those Ordinations. I cite Bishop Grindal 's Register upon the authority of the reverend Dr. Kennet, whose learned account of the Antiquities of his own Parish-Church of Ambrosden, shews him excellently accomplished to go on further in the like curious Researches. |
