Bracton observes several things which are material to this purpose 1. The first General Exception which is allowed he saith is contra Jurisdictionem Exceptions are either dilatory or Peremptory Some that are only dilatory as to the Action may be peremptory as to the Jurisdicton And these are to be put in ante Litem contestatam ad perimendum Judicium ne procedat And the first of this sort are the Exceptions contra Jurisdictionem contra Personas Judicantium quibus deficit Autoritas judicandi So that he supposes that such who do not deny the Kings Supreme Authority may have a Legal and just Exception against the Authority of a Court. 2. It was an allowable Exceptio Fori then if any Lay-Persons did take upon them to proceed by Ecclesiastical Censures In Ecclesiastical Causes saith he a Secular Judge hath no Cognizance because he hath not the Power of Coercion proper to them viz. by Ecclesiastical Censures therefore he saith in his Causis pertinet Cognitio ad Judices Ecclesiasticos His Reason is Because those only are the competent Judges who have the Power of Coercion proper to the Court. And for the same Cause Ecclesiastical Judges are not to interpose in Secular Causes cum jura sint separata limitata And although the Exemption of Ecclesiastical Persons from the Civil Courts be certainly taken away by the Acts of Supremacy yet it hath been still alledged by our Divines That the Ecclesiastical Censures were still reserved to the Ecclesiastical Functions either in the way of Ordinary or Delegate Jurisdiction If the High Commission did seem to go further then that Power being taken away by Act of Parliament it must return to the Ancient Course 3. There must be a Legal Authority to constitute a Legal Jurisdiction Ad hoc quod rata sint judicia videre oportet a● Justic. Warrantum habeat à Rege quod judicare possit Si Warrantum non habuerit non valebit quod coram eo actum fuerit quasi coram non suo judice quia primo legi debet Breve Originale postmodum Breve per quod Justiciar constitutus est si nullum omnino habuerit aut si habuerit non tamen ad manum non erit ei parendum nisi it a forte sit quod Breve Originale de Justiciaria sua faciat mentionem Bracton l. 5. De Except c. 14. 1. There must be a Commission from the King which must be read and if either they have it not or it be not at hand the Jurisdiction is not to be owned unless it be mentioned in the Original Writ For Commissions in those days were most commonly granted by Writ saith the Lord Coke But by Bracton's Words it appears That commonly there was an Original Writ and a Commission besides but sometime the Commission was in the Original Writ and then the reading of that was sufficient The Mirror saith That the Jurisdiction may be denied if the seeing or hearing the Commission be denied 2. The Bounds of the Jurisdiction must be expressed and if those be exceeded he saith an Exception lies Which signifies nothing unless the Commission be known 3. The Commission must be according to Law For that is Bracton's standing Rule Nihil aliud potest Rex in Terris cum sit Dei Minister Vicarius nisi id solum quod Jure potest So that a Commission against Law is void in Law. He mentions the Common Saying in the Civil Law Quod Principi placet Legis habet Vigorem and answers it thus Quod Principi placet is not to be understood of his Presumptive but his Legislative Will Animo condendi Jura and with the Advice of his Magistrates the King himself giving Authority which is the Description of an Act of Parliament as we now call it Which he more fully expresses elsewhere Legis vigorem habet quicquid de Consilio de Consensu Magnatum Reipublicae Communi sponsione Authoritate Regis sive Principis praecedente juste fuerit Definitum Approbatum If this were the Ancient Law of England how comes the Exception against a Court to be a Denial of the King's Supremacy unless it be supposed impossible That there should be an Illegal Court with the King's Commission But we may suppose it possible for a new kind of Star-Chamber or Court of Wards to be set up must no Man question the Legality of such a Court without denying the King's Authority For this is a Question in Point of Law. And the King's Authority always goes with the Law and therefore to suppose it to be in any thing against Law is to suppose it to be contradictory to it self But our Author saith It is necessary for every Court to assert its own Jurisdiction Very true and to clear it too if it be liable to a just Exception I am very far from denying the King's Supremacy yet I may be as far from thinking such a Court to be Legal if an Act of Parliament can make a Court Illegal and to say no more for it but that every Court must assert its own Jurisdiction is to level it with the Infamous High Court of Justice which when King Charles the First of Blessed Memory denied their Authority all the Reply was That the Court was satisfied of its own Authority Which could give Satisfaction to no Body else And if this be all can be said for the Legality of it for all that I can see there is just Reason to deny it FINIS A Catalogue of Books Published by the Reverend EDWARD STILLINGFLEET D.
