“It should be noted that in this entire process, the clergyman’s abilities and right to preach were not assumed. Obtaining a license to preach was a separate process, not included in or assumed by ordination, although by the seventeenth century an increasing number of ministers were licensed to preach.23 If a clergyman were to be licensed to preach, his license came directly from the archbishop, or his local bishop, or from one of the two universities. But many ministers—even most ministers—were not permitted to preach. That this was troubling to parishioners was assumed in canon 57 of the canons of 1603.”
