InduElion is when, from feveral particular propofitions, we 
infer one general : as, the doCtrine of the Socinians can¬ 
not be proved from the gofpels, it cannot be proved from 
the acts of the apoftles,' it cannot be proved from the 
epiftles, nor the book of revelations ; therefore it cannot 
be proved from the New Teftament. Watts's Logic. —The 
aft or ftate of taking poffeffion of an ecclefiaftical living. 
—-In dignities poffeffion is given by inftalment, in recto¬ 
ries and vicarages by induBion. Blackjione. 
After the bilhop hath granted inftitution, he iffues out 
his mandate to the archdeacon to induCt the clerk, who 
thereupon either does it perfonally, or ufually commillions 
fome neighbouring clergyman for that purpofe ; which is 
compared to livery and feifin, as it is a putting the mi- 
nifter in aCtual poffeilion of the church, and of the glebe- 
lands, which are the temporalities of it. This induction 
is done in following manner: One of the clergymen com- 
miffioned takes the parfon to be induCted by the hand, 
lays it on the key of the church, and pronounces thefe 
words ; By virtue of this commijjion , I indudlyou into the real 
and aBual pojjijjion of the reBory of, L3c. with all its appurte¬ 
nances. Then he opens the church-door, and puts the 
parfon into poffeffion thereof, who commonly tolls a bell, 
&c. and thereby Ihows and gives notice to the people 
that he hath taken corporal poffeffion of the faid church. 
If the key of the church-door cannot be had, the clerk 
to be induCted may lay his hand on the ring of the door, 
the latch of the church-gate, on the church-wall, &cc. 
and either of thefe are fuincient ; alfo induction may be 
made by delivery of a clod, or turf of the glebe, &c. Or¬ 
dinarily the bifhop is to direCt his mandate to the arch¬ 
deacon, as being the perfon who ought to induCt or give 
pofTeflion unto the clerks inftituted to any churches within 
his archdeaconry ; but, it is faid, the bifhop may direCt 
3

his mandate to any other clergyman to’make induction. 
38 Edw. III. Jf. z. cap. 3. And, by prefeription, others a3 
well as archdeacons may make inductions. Parf. Counjet. 
1 Comm. 391. 
An induction made by the patron of the church is 
void; but bifhops and archdeacons may induCt a clerk to 
the benefices of which they are patrons by prefeription. 
See. 11 Hen. IV. 7. The dean and chapter of cathedral 
churches are to induCt prebends; though it hath been 
held, if the bilhop doth induCt a prebend, it may be good 
at the common law. 11 Hen. IV. 7. 11 Hen. VI. In fome 
places a prebend fhall be in poffeffion without any in¬ 
duction; as at Weltminfter, where the king makes colla¬ 
tion by his letters patent. If the king grants one of his 
free chapels, the grantee fhall be put in poffeffion by the 
fheriff of the county, and not by the bifhop. 
But no induction is neceffary to a donative, where the 
patron by donation in writing puts the clerk into poffef- 
fion, without prefentation, &c.. 11 Hen. IV. 7. If the 
authority of the perfon who made the mandate for in¬ 
duction determines, by death or removal, before the clerk 
is induCted, the induction afterwards will be void ; as 
where, before it is executed, a new bifhop is coniecrated, 
&c. But, if the archbilhop, during the vacancy of a fee, 
as guardian of the fpiritualities, ilfue a mandate to in¬ 
duCt a clerk to a church, it is good though not executed 
before there is a new bifhop. 2 Lev. 299. 1 Venlr. 309. 
Induction is a temporal aCt; and if the archdeacon re- 
fufe to induCt a parfon, or to grant a commiffion to others 
to do it, aCtion on the cafe lies again ft him, on. which 
damages fhall be recovered ; he may likevvife be compelled, 
byfentence in the ecclefiaftical court, to induCt the clerk, 
and fhall anfwer the contempt. 12 Rep. 128. 
It is induction which makes the parfon complete in¬ 
cumbent, and fixes the freehold in him; and a church is 
full by induBion, which cannot be avoided but by quare 
impedit at common law. 4 Rep.j 9. Plowd. 529. Hob. 15. A 
bifhop fued in the court of audience, to repeal an inftitu¬ 
tion, after induction had, and a prohibition was granted; 
becaufe an inftitution is not examinable in the fpiritual 
court after induction, but then a quare impedit lies. Moor 
860. It is not the admijjion and infitution, but the induc¬ 
tion, to a fecond benefice, which makes the firft void, in 
cafe of pluralities, &c. Moor 12. See the article Advow- 
son.
