50 THE LIFE OF 



CHAP. Episcopi, ut Ecclesias Cathedrales, aliaque cedificia ad 



_ Episcopatum spectantia, ab omni ruina et deformitate con- 



servent, ut ruinosa rejiciant^ diruta et collapsa restaurent. 



51 enim in privatis cedificiis deformitas omnis vitanda est, 

 ac Reipublicce intersit, ne civitas minis deformetur, (ut C. 

 de JEdificiis privatis L. ii. et F. nequid in loco publico. L. 

 ultima, et ex. de Elect, c. fimdamenta . digno: libra vi.) 

 Multoque mag-is interest omnium, ut Ecclesice, quae in ho- 

 norem et cultum Dei Omnipotentis ac Jidelium Christi 

 consolationem ; ubi Christi Jideles divina audire, et Sa-

 es.se illud subterfiigium in re tarn manifesta, et omnium 

 oculis objecta, probationes nostras tanquam minus conclu- 

 dentes arguere : cum tamen illi non probaverint se ea fe- 

 cisse qu&Jacere debebant ; et proinde eorum culpd hcec con- 

 tigisse prcesumatur. Juxta L. qui nonfacit. F. de regulis 

 juris. 



The charge In the year 1580, a new review was appointed to be 

 taken of the dilapidations, when they amounted to about 

 1602Z. that is much more than they were when the first view 

 was taken, anno 1577; the charge being then but 1200/. 

 The suit held till 1584, when our Bishop obtained a favour 

 able sentence : and then the Archbishop of York s last plea 

 was to get the sentence qualified, and to lay part of the bur 

 den upon the executors of Archbishop Grindal, lately de 

 ceased.
