to the Commentators and glossators upon the text And in the first place I produce these three Iohanes Andreas in apparatu suo super sextum decretalium Helias Regnier in his casus literales notabilia super sextum decretal And the third is anonymus quidam the title of whose worke is casus longi super sextum decretalium compilati in alma unversitate Pictavensi and I joyne these three together because they write upon the same text and use the very same words upon the text The text they write upon is the text last cited ex sexti decretal lib. 3. tit 20. de censibus exact procurat cap. 1. cap. Romana parag Sane Sane archiepiscopus visitationis officium impensurus proposito verbo dei quaerat de vita conversatione ministrantium in ecclesiis And upon this text they all give this glosse in these very wordes Hic quaeritur quid primo debet facere Archiepiscopus visitans Respondetur quod primo debet praedicare verbum dei deinde debet inquirere de vita moribus habitantium ibidem videl clericorum laicorum and it seemes that Johanes Andreas was the first authour of those wordes and that the other two and the glosse in the last and best edition of the body of the canon law put out by Gregory the thirteenth borrowed them from him For I finde them in the glosse of that edition but in the glosses of former editions I finde them not But howsoever that prove this is certaine that this their glosse is uncontradicted by any that ever I saw and I have seene as many as I could upon a diligent search finde in Pauls Church-yard Duck-lane and some other by-corners My fourth authour is Johanes de vanquall Coloniensis Doctor utriusque juris in his Breviary on the sixt book of the Decretals in his conclusions upon the text last cited conclusione 2. where he thus writes Spectat ad officium visitatoris primo discutere statum clericorum qualiter baptismum alia sacramenta administrent qualiter se habeant in ecclesia vita Et si omnia recte inveniat deo gratias agat sin autem aliter inveniat ignaros instruat haec nocte qua venit expediat sequenti die de mane plebi vocatae debet praedicare verbum dei docendo fidem and quod mortalia vitent se continue in bonis operibus exerceant This glosse is agreeable to the former text and binds the visiter ex debito ex officio to preach at his visitation and there to teach both Clergy and laity My fift man is Cardinall Hostiensis in the third booke of his summe tit de Censibus exactionibus procurat Expounding the text last mentioned His wordes are these Archiepiscopus in secunda visitaione illos visitet qui in prima non fueriut visitati imprimis verbo dei proposito quaerat de vita conversatione ministrantium Praecipit autem dominus noster universis episcopis aliisque praelatis ordinario jure exceptis religiosis visitantibus ut hanc formam studeant observare ut omnia haec leguntur in authentica Domini In which words my Lord this is very observable that Hostiensis saith it is expresly set downe in the very text of the canon law even in the Popes authenticke Epistle that every Arch-deacon Bishop and Arch-bishop is first to preach his owne visitation sermon and then to correct and reforme the parties visited And if this much be expresly set downe in the very text what need we any more glosses to prove that which is cleere and evident in the very text and if any glosse shall contradict a plaine text we may lawfully reject it and conclude that it is mala glossa quia corrumpit textum Now upon the other text before alleaged out of the Decretals lib. 3. tit 39. De censibus exactionibus procurationibus cap. 23. parag Porro The wordes whereof are these Porro visitationis officium exercentes non quaerant quae sua sunt sed quae sunt Jesu Christi praedicationi exhortationi correctioni reformationi vacando ut fructum referant qui non perit I produce these three glossators Petrus de Anchorano Cardinall Zabarell and Abbot Panormitan Petrus de Anchorano upon the former text sayes Praelati tunc sunt procurandi cum personaliter visitant Et debent tunc consilium Lateranense servare praedicationi exhortationi reformationi vacare Cardinall Zabarell upon the same text gives us this glosse Octavo nota quod debet visitans instare praedicationi exhortationi correctioni quid a clericis exquirere debeat quid eos docere traditur in decretis causa decima quaestione prima cap. placuit Abbot Panormitan upon the former wordes sayes visitator debet praedicare ex munere and he further adds Quid debeat facere praelatus tempore visitationis vide bonum textum in decretis causa decima quaestione prima cap. placuit There are two thinges my Lord in these three gloss●tors to be observed The first is that they doe expresly affirme that it is the visiters duety to preach his owne visitation sermon The other is that for fuller information in that point they doe referre us to two canons The first is the tenth canon of the second Lateran Councell mentioned by Petrus de Anchorano The other is the first canon of the second (f) Brachara metropolis in provincia Gallaeciae The city Braga or Bracha in Portugall ex Binnio Bracharen Councell conteined in the decrees the tenth cause the first question the Chapter Placuit mentioned by Zabarell and Panormitan And these two canons lay a greater burden upon the visiter than to preach his owne visitation sermon at the publicke meeting of the deaneries or at a generall chapter and visitation of many parishes For the first canon of the second Bracharen Councell contained in the chapter placuit binds every Bishop to goe over his whole diocesse parochiatim and in every parish to teach both clergy and laity The clergy how to doe their owne dueties in their owne Churches and the laity how to understand the Articles of the Christian faith and how to lead a godly life and then that canon concludes Et sic postea Episcopus de illa ecclesia proficiscatur ad aliam And if any Bishop eitheir through multitude of businesse or bodily sicknesse or want of knowledge or through other occasions cannot in his owne person preach the word of God Parochiatim through his whole diaecesse Then the other canon the tenth canon of the second Lateran Councell binds him assumere viros idoneos potentes opere sermone qui plebes sibi commissas vice ipsius cum ipse per se idem nequeat sollicite visitantes verbo aedificent exemplo To take unto himselfe able men powerfull in deed and word who carefully visiting the people committed to him may in his steed when he himselfe cannot edifie them by word and example And it
