| To supplement this paltry revenue the bishops often held other appointments in commendam. |
| But there is a method, by the favour of the crown, of holding such livings in commendam. |
| Herring held the deanery of Rochester in commendam with the bishopric of Bangor. |
| Bonivard never took monastic vows or holy orders, but held his living in commendam, as a lay-man. |
| An act of 1836 prohibited the holding of benefices in commendam in England. |
| To this added the fiat ut petitur, granting Lesley a dispensation to hold this benefice in commendam. |
