THE BISHOP of EXETER v. SHOD

-
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN
SIR,-With this letter I send you a few extracts;
the Forms of Service for Ordering Deacons and_j:,d
Does it not appear from them that such tow"'
gives merely a conditional authority ? viz.— lot
Ist. That an ordained deacon or priest is only „
in a state of qualification to hold a bishop's Hee
perform the functions of those offices. soi
2d. That, as an ordained deacon or priest. he
entitled to perform the functions of those offices l''0;
case, if he be not possessed of such license ; SOI
matter of course, a marriage pretended to be sole
n 4
by an ordained priest not having a license to Per"
the functions of such offices is voidable.
01
3d. That the ordination vow is a covenant whi —cll
only during the term of a license, and that during,,i
time as an ordained person is without such license!!
not under episcopal jurisdiction.

If such be. the. case, how could Mr. Shore be u; 11;51
episcopal jurisdiction of the Bishop of Exeter 1114..5)
had withdrawn his license from Mr. S. and he (0' op
afterwards did not attempt to perform the functieet4o
deacon or priest in a consecrated church or an er
pally-licensed chapel ? ,
The ordination services of deacon and priellse
part and parcel of an Act of Parliament, Way
firmed by a court of common law ; and it appear,,,
that the parson and the attorney are on the same
Thus, the young lawyer, after having received h.
_mil 01.
cate of qualification from the examiners, and Woe,
mitted by the court, cannot legally practise as 11_,111'01
ney until he has obtained a license, duly stalnl37
the young ordained parson cannot legally, ri;ol6
as a deacon or priest until he has obtained Ws,: 0
also duly stamped ; and neither of these par".7•7l,
hereafter practise when their licenses are eitb,e` 1,1
drawn or not renewed, according to circumetl":-
licenses being the only authority for eiereleneo
functions of each office in both cases.—l sot, Su'""
obedient servant,
