That really should be "without cure of souls" ;D

A clergyman without his own parish (without cure - care - of souls). Getting a Parish with sufficient income when there were more Clergy than Parishes wasn't always possible.

Cure means 'charge' from the Latin 'curatus'. The bishop has the universal cure of souls in a diocese but, subject to this, the incumbent of a benefice (or team rector and team vicar(s) in a team ministry) has the exclusive cure of souls within his or her parish or parishes, originally the person given the cure or charge, of a parish, was called the Curate
