ANTE-REFORMATION ARCHDEACON'S CHARGE 

 AND INQUISITION. 



This is a copy verbatim et literatim of a docu- 

 ment, occupying six folios (49 — 54.), in a bundle 

 of MSS. (folios 1 — 117.) relating to the cjiocese of 

 Salisbury, from the eleventh to the sixteenth cen- 

 tury. The probable date of this Ordo Visitationis 

 may safely be fixed at the latter end of the fifteenth 

 or beginning of the sixteenth century, being ap- 

 parently written by the same hand as the Officium 

 Apparitoris, fol. 39., dated a.d. M.D.xxviii. 



" Ordo Visitationis Archini cum forma oneris ejusdem. 



"In primis facto certificatorio sufficiente de executione 

 monitionis pro visitatione, et citatis viz. clris et laicis

"Good Christyn people 3'e shall understande the Muse 

 of my comyng at this tyme is to doo my office of Visi- 

 tacion that I am bownde to doo by the law, Ffor as o r 

 holy ffather the pope is godis stuard here yn erthe, and 

 hath principall care and charge of all Christyn people, 

 whiche cannot exercise this office in hys owne p'per p'soa 

 in all places, Therfor in o T holy Ffdther the popis dis- 

 charge of his grete cure is ordeynyd (yn every province 

 A Bisshop) in every Diocesse a Bissl:op which hath 

 cure and charge of all the subiectts w'in their said 

 diocesses, And forasmuch as they be not liable to exe- 

 cute and exercise their office in these diocesses psonally, 

 The law hath ordeynyd that every Bisshop shall have 

 certeyne Archideacons whiche be called in the law (ocu- 

 lus Epi) the le of the Bisshop whose office is in the 

 discharge of the same Bus-hoppe to come and visite you, 

 and to inquire of suche crymys and opyn offences and of 

 all other things that is or owght to be reformyd among 

 you to the lawde of god the increase of vertue and op- 

 pression of Synne and Iniquytie. And forasuch as I 

 (howbeit unworthy) have thoffice of tharchideacon of 

 this Archideaconry And doo intende for my discbarge 

 Afore god (Ne deus sanguinem vrm de manibus meis 

 requirat) That is to say, leste god for my negligens shall 

 call me to accompte for yo r offence, and execute the 

 punyshment that ye shall have for yo r offence uppon me, 

 to plante vertue, and to reforme and puuyshe Synne and 

 Inyquytie according to y e lawe, whiche reformacion can- 

 not ensue w'owte due knowlege and Informacion, which 

 must come of you that ar churchwardens that ar callyd 

 hether for to Inqwyer and p'sent such opj'n crymys and 

 offencs that is publishid or suspectid yn the plche ye 

 come fro, And if ye doo yo r dutie yn makyng p'sentment 

 ye ar dischargid and the charge is in me, And if ye doo 

 not truly p'sent but for affection concele Synne and Ini- 

 quitie ye shall not only be punyshid Afore god as Acces- 

 sories and faurtours of the same synne whiche is not 

 reformyd by yo r negligence but also ye shall thereby 

 renne and fall into manyfest p'iury. 



" Therfor I exhorte yo u in god, and also charge yo u 

 and comaunde yo u loke uppon yo r conscience and be- 

 ware of p'iury The p'ill of A nothe is that, he that 

 wylfully dothe p'iure and forswere hymselfe doth for-

 betakith hymselfe to his goostly enemy the devill And 

 yn tokyn and testymony ther-of he leith his hand uppon 

 the boke By that is understand that he forsaketh all the 

 good dedis of Cherite and pitie that he hath doon w* his 

 handis And in kyssing of the Booke all the good prayers 

 he bath said w* his mowth. I truste ye woll as good Chris- 

 tyn people eschew the danngerows p'ill Afore God and 

 the worlde thereof, and soo I reqwyre you to do.
