Notice clergyman's in control (10)
I believe the answer is:
administer
'control' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'notice clergyman's' is the wordplay.
'notice' becomes 'ad'.
'clergyman' becomes 'minister' (minister is a kind of clergyman).
'ad'+'minister'='ADMINISTER'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for administer that I've seen before include "Handle" , "give" , "Run" , "conduct" , "control" .)
