A clergyman and all his works? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

canon

'a clergyman' is the definition.
(canon is a kind of clergyman)

I can't explain the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for canon that I've seen before include "Collection of writing" , "Body of established rules or principles" , "General principle or senior priest" , "Member of a cathedral chapter" , "General principle or kind of clergyman" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
