benefit of clergy

I'd never heard the expression "benefit of clergy" before, but I'm very glad to know its origins nevertheless.

This brief audio file, from "On Words" with John Ciardi,
covers 2 phrase origins:
  1. benefit of clergy;
  2. nose stitch.
It's the first one that reminds me of this post by Ralph Raico and this post by me.
