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 time_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o 1_o eliz._n be_v make_v of_o which_o i_o will_v speak_v of_o anon_o reas._n 2._o the_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v out_o of_o dr._n and_o student_n lib._n 2._o cap._n 29._o which_o be_v of_o singular_a authority_n in_o this_o case_n he_o be_v as_o well_o a_o excellent_a canonist_n as_o a_o common_a lawyer_n where_o he_o put_v the_o case_n that_o if_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 and_o i_o think_v say_v he_o that_o the_o ordinary_n can_v not_o have_v set_v a_o fine_a upon_o a_o heretic_n until_o it_o be_v so_o ordain_v by_o the_o statute_n of_o 2_o h._n 4._o c._n 15._o 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

the_o high_a commission_n at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o make_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o 1_o eliz_n for_o no_o law_n or_o statute_n since_o that_o act_n have_v give_v they_o that_o power_n and_o i_o find_v but_o two_o case_n in_o all_o my_o read_n and_o study_n in_o it_o wherein_o the_o high_a commission_n have_v power_n to_o fine_a and_o imprison_v 1._o the_o one_o be_v by_o the_o statute_n of_o 2_o h._n 4._o cap._n 15._o 2._o the_o other_o be_v by_o the_o statute_n of_o 1_o h._n 7._o cap._n 4._o by_o the_o statute_n of_o 2_o h._n 4._o every_o bishop_n may_v fine_a and_o imprison_v in_o his_o diocese_n for_o lollardy_n then_o count_v heresy_n and_o schism_n which_o be_v now_o repeal_v by_o the_o statute_n of_o 1_o eliz._n cap._n 1._o and_o therefore_o i_o will_v speak_v no_o more_o of_o it_o the_o other_o be_v the_o statute_n of_o 1_o h._n 7._o which_o be_v still_o in_o force_n by_o which_o clerk_n only_o and_o not_o layman_n convict_v before_o their_o ordinary_n of_o adultery_n fornication_n and_o incest_n or_o other_o fleshly_a incontinency_n shall_v be_v by_o they_o commit_v to_o prison_n and_o that_o no_o bishop_n shall_v be_v chargeable_a by_o action_n of_o false_a imprisonment_n for_o such_o commitment_n wherein_o this_o plain_o appear_v that_o a_o action_n of_o false_a imprisonment_n have_v lie_v at_o the_o common_a law_n for_o imprisonment_n by_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court_n though_o it_o have_v be_v of_o a_o clergyman_n only_o who_o owe_v subjection_n to_o his_o ordinary_a out_o of_o these_o two_o case_n i_o know_v no_o law_n for_o fine_v and_o
