Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Church Courts and Church Discipline The state of the Ecclesiastical Courts has long been a topic for censure with the enemies of the church, and a subject of regret to its members. As early as the time of James I. it was lamented by the two greatest ornaments of the Law and the Bench. "For excommunication to be used irreverently," says Lord Bacon, "and to be made an ordinary process to lackey up and down for fees; how can it be without derogation to God´s honour, and making the power of the Keys contemptible?" Nor is Bishop Andrews less urgent. Nisi attentionem disicplinæ vestræ, id est, medicinam medicnæ apponatis, brevi pro Sione Babelem habituri sumus. Disciplina nostra jam solas crumenas pulsat, ut consulatur potius ovium attonsioni quam attensioni, et fisco quam Christo. It would be easy to produce similar complaints from every part of our history. Such charges have naturally excited the attention of the supreme government, and in the tenth year of King George IV. a Commission was issued to the principal officers both of the Law and the Church, empowering them "to make a diligent and full enquiry into the course of proceeding - in the Ecclesiastical Courts of England and Wales."
