such Bulls so purchased or any such Balls to be purchased in time to come upon the pain of a Premunire as by the said Act appeareth In the Reign of King Henry the Fifth IN an Act of Parliament made in the third year of King H. 5. it is declared That whereas in the time of King H. 4. Father to the said King in the 7. year of his Reign to eschew many discords and debates and divers other mischiefs which were likely to arise and happen because of many Provisions then made or to be made by the Pope and also of Licence thereupon granted by the said late King amongst other things it was ordained and established That no such Licence or Pardon so granted before the same Ordinance or afterwards to be granted should be available to any Benefice full of any Incumbent at the day of the date of such Licence or Pardon granted Nevertheless divers persons having Provisions of the Pope of divers Benefices in England and elsewhere and Licences Royall to execute the same Provisions have by colour of the same Provisions Licences and Acceptations of the said Benefices subtilly excluded divers persons of their Benefices in which they had been Incumbents by a long season of the collation of the very Patrons Spiritual to them duely made to their intent to the final destruction and enervation of the states of the same Incumbents The King willing to void such mischiefs hath ordained and established That all the Incumbents of every Benefice of Holy Church of the Patronage Collation or Presentation of Spirituall Patrons might quietly and peaceably enjoy their said Benefices without being inquieted molested or any ways grieved by any colour of such Provisions Licences abd Acceptations And that all the Licences and Pardons upon and by such Provisions made in any manner should be void and of no value And if any feel himself grieved molested or inquieted in any wise from thenceforth by any by colour of such Provisions Licences Pardons or Acceptations that the same molestors grievors or inquietors and every of them have and incurre the pains and punishments contained in the Statutes of Provisors before that time made as by the said Act appeareth A Statute was made for extirpation of Heresie and Lollardry whereby full power and authority was given to the Justices of Peace and Justices of Assise to inquire of those that hold Errours Heresies or Lollardry and of their maintainers c. And that the Sheriffe or other Officer c. may arrest and apprehend them The King by consent of Parliament giveth power to Ordinaries to enquire of the foundation erection and governance of Hospitals other then such as be of the King's foundation and thereupon to make correction and reformation according to the Ecclesiasticall Law In the Reign of King Henry the Sixth EXcommunication made and certified by the Pope is of no force to disable any man within England And this is by the ancient Common Laws before any Statute was made concerning forrein Jurisdiction The King onely may grant or licence to found a Spiritual Incorporation In the Reign of King Henry the 6. the Pope writ Letters in derogation of the King and his Regalty and the Church-men durst not speak against them But Humfrey Duke of Gloucester for their safe keeping put them into the fire In the Reign of King Edward the Fourth IN the Reign of King Edward the Fourth the Pope granted to the Prior of Saint Johns to have Sanctuary within his Priory and this was pleaded and claimed by the Prior But it was resolved by the Judges that the Pope had no power to grant any Sanctuary within this Realm and therefore by judgement of the Law the same was disallowed There it appeareth that the opinion of the King's Bench had been oftentimes that if one Spiritual person sue another Spiritual man in the Court of Rome for a matter spiritual where he might have remedy before his Ordinary that is the Bishop of that Diocese within the Realm quia trahit ipsum in placitum extra regnum incurreth the danger of a Premunire a hainous offence it being contra legiantiae suae debitum in contemptum Domini Regis contra Coronam dignitatem suas By which it appeareth how grievous an offence it was against the King his Crown and Dignity if any subject although both the persons and cause were Spirituall did seek for justice out of the Realm as though either there wanted Jurisdiction or Justice was not executed in the Ecclesiastical Courts within the same which as it hath been said was an high offence contra Regem Coronam dignitatem suas In the King's Courts of Record where Felonies are determined the Bishop or his Deputy ought to give his attendance to the end that if any that is indicted and arraigned for Felony do demand the benefit of his Clergy that the Ordinary may inform the Court of his sufficiency or insufficiency that is whether he can reade as a Clerk or not whereof notwithstanding the Ordinary is not to judge but is a minister to the King's Court and the Judges of that Court are to judge of the sufficiency or insufficiency of the party whatsoever the Ordinary doth inform them and upon due examination of the party may give judgement against the Ordinarie's information for the King's Judges are Judges of the cause The Pope's Excommunication is of no force within the Realm of England In the Reign of King Edward the Fourth a Legate from the Pope came to Calice to have come into England but the King and his Council would not suffer him to come within England until he had taken an oath that he should attempt nothing against the King or his Crown and so the like was done in his Reign to another of the Pope's Legates And this is so reported in 1 Henrici 7. fol. 10. In the Reign of King Richard the Third IT is resolved by the Judges That a Judgement or Excommunication in the Court of Rome should not bind or prejudice any man within England at the Common Law In the Reign of King Henry the Seventh IN the Reign of King Henry the 7. the Pope had excommunicated all such persons whatsoever as had bought Allum of the Florentines And it was resolved by all the Judges of England that the Pope's Excommunication ought not to be obeyed or to be put in execution within the Realm of England In a Parliament holden in the first year of King Henry the Seventh for the more sure and likely reformation of Priests Clerks and Religious men culpable or by their demerits openly noised of incontinent living in their bodies contrary to their Order it was enacted ordained and established by the advice and assent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal and the Commons in the said Parliament assembled and by authority of the same That it be lawful to all Archbishops and Bishops

in the Civil Magistrate and so in right it remaineth at this day and though it be derived from him it remaineth in him as in the fountain For every Christian Monarch as well as the godly Kings of Juda is custos utriusque Tabulae and consequently hath power to punish not onely Treason Murther Theft and all manner of Force and Fraud but Incest Adultery Usury Perjury Simony Sorcery Idolatry Blasphemy Neither are these Causes in respect of their own quality and nature to be distinguished one from another by the names of Spirituall or Temporall For why is Adultery a Spirituall cause rather then Murther when they are both offences alike against the Second Table or Idolatry rather then Perjury being both offences likewise against the First Table And indeed if we consider the natures of these Causes it will seem somewhat absurd that they are distinguished by the name of Spirituall and Temporall for to speak properly that which is opposed to Spirituall should be termed Carnall and that which is opposed to Temporall should be called Eternall And therefore if things were called by their proper names Adultery should not be called a spirituall offence but a carnall But shall I expresse plainly and briefly why these Causes were first denominated some Spirituall or Ecclesiasticall and others Temporall and Civil Truly they were so called not from the nature of the Causes as I said before but from the quality of the persons whom the Prince had made Judges in those Causes The Clergie did study spirituall things and did professe to live secundum spiritum and were called spirituall men and therefore they called the Causes wherein Princes had given them jurisdiction spirituall causes after their own name and quality But because the Lay-magistrates were said to intend the things of this world which are temporall and transitory the Clergie called them secular or temporall men and the Causes wherein they were Judges temporall causes This distinction began first in the Court of Rome where the Clergie having by this Jurisdiction gotten great wealth their wealth begot pride their pride begot ingratitude towards Princes who first gave them their Jurisdiction and then according to the nature of all ungratefull persons they went about to extinguish the memory of the benefit for whereas their Jurisdiction was first derived from Caesar in the execution whereof they were Caesar's Judges so as both their Courts and Causes ought still to have born Caesar's image and superscription as belonging unto Caesar they blotted Caesar's name out of the style of their Courts and called them Courts Christian as if the Courts holden by other Magistrates had been in comparison but Courts of Ethnicks and the Causes which in their nature were meerly Civil they called Spirituall and Ecclesiasticall So as if the Emperour should challenge his Courts and Causes again and say Reddite Caesariquae sunt Caesaris they would all cry out on the contrary part and say Date Deo quae sunt Dei our Courts bear the name and title of Christ the superscription of Caesar is quite worn out and not to be found upon them And this point of their policy is worth the observing that when they found their jurisdiction in Matrimoniall causes to be the most sweet and gainfull of all other for of Matrimony they made matter of money indeed to the end that Caesar might never resume so rich a perquisite of their Spirituall jurisdiction they reduced Matrimony into the number of the 7 Sacraments after which time it had been Sacriledge if the Civil Magistrate had intermeddled with the least matter that had relation to Matrimonie or any dependencie thereupon So then it appeareth that all Causes whereof Ecclesiasticall or Spirituall persons have cognisance or jurisdiction by the grants or permission of Princes are called Ecclesiasticall or Spirituall causes And as all their Courts are called Spirituall Courts so all Causes determinable in those Courts are called Spirituall Causes And therefore where Mr. Lalor hath acknowledged the King's Majestie to be Supreme Governour in all Ecclesiasticall causes he hath therein acknowledged the King's Supremacie in all Spirituall causes wherein he hath but rendered to Caesar that which is Caesar's and hath given unto his Majestie no more then all the Bishops of England have yielded to his Predecessours not onely in this latter Age but also in former times both before and since the Conquest as hath been before at large expressed Here the day being far spent the Court demanded of the prisoner if he had any more to say for himself His answer was That he did willingly renounce his office of Vicar-generall and did humbly crave his Majestie 's grace and pardon And to that end he desired the Court to move the L. Deputy to be favourable unto him Then the Jury departed from the Bar and returning within half an hour found the prisoner guiltie of the Contempts whereof he was indicted Whereupon the Solicitor generall moved the Court to proceed to Judgement And Sir Dominick Sarsfield Knight one of the Justices of his Majestie 's chief place gave Judgement according to the form of the Statute whereupon the Indictment was framed OF THE KING' 's Ecclesiasticall Law IN the Term of S. Hillary in the 33. year of the Reign of Q. Elizabeth Rotulo 340. Robert Caudrey Clerk brought an action of Trespasse against George Atton for breaking of his Close at North-Luffenham in the County of Rutland the 7. day of August in the 31. year of the Reign of the said Queen The Defendant pleaded not guilty and the Jury returned and sworn for triall of this issue gave a speciall Verdict that is they found the truth of the Case at large referring the same for the Law to the judgment of the Court to this effect They found that the Plaintif before the Trespasse supposed to be done was Parson of the Rectory of South-Luffenham in the County aforesaid whereof the place wherein the Trespass is alledged was parcell and found the Statute made in the first year of the said Queen's Reign by which in effect it is enacted That such Jurisdiction Ecclesiasticall as by any Spirituall or Ecclesiasticall power hath heretofore been or may lawfully be exercised for the Visitation of the Ecclesiasticall estate and persons and for reformation order and correction of the same and of all manner of Errors Heresies Schisms Abuses Offences Contempts and Enormities within this Realm should for ever be united and annexed to the Imperiall Crown of this Realm And that her Highnesse her Heirs and Successors should have full power and authority by virtue of that Act by Letters Patents under the great Seal of England to assign nominate and authorize such persons being natural-born Subjects as her Highness her Heirs or Successors should think meet to exercise and execute under her Highnesse her Heirs and Successors all and all manner of Jurisdiction Priviledges and Preheminences in any wise touching or concerning any Spiritual or Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction within this
