5. Before the bishop admits a clerk to a vacant benefice, he must send to the churchwardens in a registered letter a formal notice of his intention so to do, with a statement of the ecclesiastical preferments which the clerk has held, and a direction that the notice is to be fixed for one month on the principal door or notice-board of the church; after which it is to be returned to the bishop with a certificate, signed by the churchwardens, that the direction has been complied with.[59] The object of this proceeding is to give to the parishioners the opportunity of communicating to the bishop the existence of any fact known to them which would constitute a valid and legal ground for the bishop to refuse the presentee. 6. The bishop admits a presentee by formal institution in the case of a rectory or vicarage (the presentee kneeling before him), and by licence in the case of a perpetual curacy. In the case of admission to the benefices of new ecclesiastical parishes, which though by law perpetual curacies, are titular vicarages,[60] the practice varies. Admission by licence is the correct course; but by the desire of the presentee himself institution is sometimes granted. Where the bishop is himself the patron, he cannot present, and therefore admits by collation, which corresponds to the two processes of presentation and institution.[61] Before institution, collation, or admission by licence, the clerk makes two declarations and takes two oaths.[62] (i.) A declaration of assent, namely-- I assent to the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, and to the Book of Common Prayer, and of the ordering of Bishops, Priests, and Deacons. I believe the Doctrine of the Church of England as therein set forth, to be agreeable to the Word of God; and in Public Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments I will use the Form in the said Book prescribed and none other, except so far as shall be ordered by lawful authority.[63] (ii.) A declaration against simony, namely-- I, A. B., hereby solemnly and sincerely declare in reference to the presentation made of me to the rectory (or vicarage, &c.) of ---- as follows: 1. I have not received the presentation of the said rectory (or vicarage, &c.) in consideration of any sum of money, reward, gift, profit, or benefit directly or indirectly given or promised by me, or by any person to my knowledge or with my consent, to any person whatsoever; and I will not at any time hereafter perform or satisfy any payment, contract, or promise made in respect of that presentation by any person without my knowledge or consent.
