A19394	An apologie for sundrie proceedings by iurisdiction ecclesiasticall, of late times by some chalenged, and also diuersly by them impugned By which apologie (in their seuerall due places) all the reasons and allegations set downe as well in a treatise, as in certaine notes (that goe from hand to hand) both against proceeding ex officio, and against oaths ministred to parties in causes criminall; are also examined and answered: vpon that occasion lately reuiewed, and much enlarged aboue the first priuate proiect, and now published, being diuided into three partes: the first part whereof chieflie sheweth what matters be incident to ecclesiasticall conisance; and so allowed by statutes and common law: the second treateth (for the most part) of the two wayes of proceeding in causes criminal ... the third concerneth oaths in generall ... Whereunto ... I haue presumed to adioine that right excellent and sound determination (concerning oaths) which was made by M. Lancelot Androvves ....; Apologie: of, and for sundrie proceedings by jurisdiction ecclesiasticall	Cosin, Richard, 1549?-1597.; Andrewes, Lancelot, 1555-1626.

the_o propriety_n of_o the_o word_n import_v than_o ordinary_n may_v not_o so_o much_o as_o deal_v in_o those_o two_o except_v cause_n of_o matrimony_n and_o testament_n nor_o in_o any_o other_o concern_v right_n and_o duty_n ecclesiastical_a but_o only_o in_o offence_n and_o crime_n punishable_a by_o that_o jurisdiction_n for_o a_o accusation_n or_o presentment_n have_v none_o use_v but_o in_o matter_n of_o crime_n or_o offence_n incident_a unto_o that_o jurisdiction_n to_o punish_v beside_o that_o this_o opinion_n do_v contradict_v the_o next_o follow_v for_o this_o impli_v that_o if_o the_o matter_n be_v ecclesiastical_a and_o that_o there_o be_v either_o accusation_n or_o such_o presentment_n then_o may_v the_o judge_n ecclesiastical_a proceed_v so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v but_o a_o presentment_n without_o any_o accusation_n his_o proceed_n without_o a_o party_n which_o be_v to_o proceed_v ex_fw-la officio_fw-la shall_v be_v warrant_v whereupon_o do_v follow_v that_o proceed_v ex_fw-la officio_fw-la be_v not_o tie_v to_o those_o two_o cause_n only_o of_o testament_n or_o matrimony_n as_o the_o next_o opinion_n do_v hold_v for_o the_o second_o be_v that_o no_o

effect_n in_o all_o cause_n if_o it_o have_v none_o use_v in_o those_o two_o the_o three_o of_o those_o opinion_n be_v that_o albeit_o a_o matter_n be_v due_o present_v against_o a_o man_n yet_o he_o may_v not_o be_v examine_v upon_o his_o oath_n as_o of_o incontinency_n or_o such_o like_a whereby_o i_o think_v be_v mean_v that_o he_o may_v not_o be_v so_o examine_v of_o any_o criminal_a and_o

accusation_n be_v only_o of_o offence_n by_o this_o opinion_n be_v imply_v that_o when_o there_o be_v a_o accuser_n a_o man_n may_v be_v compel_v and_o be_v bind_v to_o declare_v a_o truth_n against_o another_o which_o last_o be_v join_v to_o the_o former_a viz._n that_o albeit_o a_o matter_n be_v due_o present_v that_o be_v criminal_a and_o may_v be_v penal_a to_o he_o yet_o he_o may_v not_o be_v examine_v of_o it_o upon_o his_o own_o oath_n do_v come_v to_o this_o pass_n that_o of_o a_o ecclesiastical_a crime_n there_o be_v by_o law_n no_o way_n to_o convict_v a_o man_n except_o some_o man_n
