Put down as not ordained (3)
I believe the answer is:
lay
I believe this is a double definition.
'put down' is the first definition.
(I know that put down can be written as lay)
'not ordained' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'as' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for lay that I've seen before include "Not a religious" , "Impose (a burden)" , "Put down (eg, card)" , "Air" , "Of bird, produce egg" .)
