Comment | This record is a dispensation for not entering Holy orders requested by the Wardens and Officers of All Souls, Oxford. The reason for this, is that Frankland has been appointed the King's Attorney General in the Isle of Man "an office never held by an Ecclesiastic and with which Holy Orders abd a cure of Souls would be incompatible".
The Archbishop of Canterbury declared this a just and Lawful inpediment why Frankland should be excused from taking Holy Orders during his continuance in this office.
Frankland is a fellow of All Souls College. |
