Summary
Articles to be considered of by the churchwardens and others within the archdeaconry of Derby. In the visitation archidiaconall of Derbyshire, anno sanctis 1641.
Articles concerning the clergy.
Are there in this archdeaconry any wandring ministers, or pretenders to holy orders, that resorts to your church, and there by begging disgrace that holy calling?
Are there any that keepe, or frequent drinking houses, and use unlawfull games.
Any that having taken holy orders forsake their vocation, and live secularly?
Doth any man in lower orders presume to do the duties of an higher office, and having no orders to do any publique duty?
Doe the priests and deacons carry themselves discretly, gravely, exemplar-ily? Do they make their families patterns to the people of God? Doth the deacon assist the priest in divine service, the administration of the Lords supper, and distribution thereof? Reade the holy scriptures and homilies to the congregation, instruct the youth in the catechisme, baptise and preach (onely if so farre allowed by the bishop) discover the impotent and needy (where such provision is made) to the curate that they may be Christianly relieved?
Doth your minister shew diligence in prayer, and that open, not being hindred by the study of divinity? Is he studious in Gods holy word, and all other conducing studies? Is he a lycensed preacher? And then doth he (not lawfully hindred) preach every Sunday in his owne, or some neighboring church? Not being licensed, doth he procure monthly sermons, and at other times read homilies? Doth your minister in his sermons confute all erronious and strange doctrines? Exhort the whole and the sicke occasionally? And advance love, peace and quietnesse in his owne charge and elsewhere? Doth he read the booke of canons as is required? Hath he opposed any other preacher in his sermons, or bin opposed by any? Declare it and the manner how? Doth he keepe proportionable hospitality for the poore?
