A67871	A just vindication of the questioned part of the reading of Edward Bagshaw, Esq; an apprentice of the common law. Had in the Middle Temple Hall the 24th day of February, being Munday, anno Dom. 1639. upon the statute of 25 E.3. called, Statutum pro clero, from all scandalous aspersions whatsoever. With a true narrative of the cause of silencing the reader by the then Archbishop of Canterbury: with the arguments at large of those points in his reading, for which he was questioned at the Council-Board.	Bagshaw, Edward, d. 1662.	1660 (1660)	Wing B396; ESTC R208288	31,311	44

therefore_o i_o do_v conclude_v that_o the_o law_n of_o fine_v and_o imprison_v be_v never_o give_v to_o any_o clergyman_n by_o any_o spiritual_a law_n of_o this_o realm_n and_o use_v at_o the_o

church_n shall_v decree_v that_o a_o heretic_n shall_v forfeit_v his_o good_n that_o decree_n be_v void_a because_o the_o good_n of_o man_n be_v temporal_a and_o belong_v to_o the_o king_n court_n

whence_o i_o infer_v that_o if_o a_o ecclesiastical_a court_n can_v fine_a by_o their_o law_n a_o fortiori_fw-la it_o can_v imprison_v now_o that_o the_o high_a commission_n court_n be_v a_o mere_a
