A91199	Jus patronatus, or A briefe legal and rational plea for advowsons, or patrons ancient, lawfull, just and equitable rights, and titles to present incumbents to parish churches or vicaridges, upon vacancies. Wherein the true original of advowsons and patronages, together with their justice, legality, equity, are demonstrated; and a full jury of legal writs and remedies (provided by our municipal lawes for defence and recovery of patrons rights, against all usurpations or encroachments on them) produced; as a seasonable antidote, against the late anomolus vote passed to their prejudice, without any hearing of patrons by their councel, or lawful tryal by their peers. Whose duty is here declared; and our fundamental laws defended. Compiled for the present and future benefit of our churches, ministers, and all true patrons of them. By William Prynne of Swainswick Esq;	Prynne, William, 1600-1669.	1654 (1654)	Wing P3988; Thomason E735_1; ESTC R203240	44,857	56

no right to present presented a Clerk by wrong to his Church and his Clerk was admitted thereto by the Bishop before the Statute of Westminster 2. chap. 5. which Writ no Tenant in Tail or for life could sue at the Common Law after any usurpation suffered by them nor any Purchaser or Heir in Fee-simple but such who could alledge a Presentation to the Church in themselves or their Ancestors from whom the Advowson descended to them And this is the form of the writ Rex c. praecipimus tibi quod sine delatione PLENUM RECTUM TENEAS W. de 2. DE ADVOCATIONE ECCLESIAE de L. quam clamat pertinere ad liberum tenementum suum or Praecipe A. quod IVSTE c. reddat B. Advocationem Ecclesiae de S. quam ei INIVSTE DEFORCIAT ut dicit The very Title and form of which Writ of RIGHT undeniably demonstrate that Patrons of Churches have a most just and legall Right of Inheritance in their Advowsons of Churches which the Common Law takes speciall care to preserve by a Writ of RIGHT of the highest nature and to restore to the Patrons both justly and speedily without delay when unjustly and forcibly outed thereof by any Usurpers whatsoever The Second is q a Writ DE RECTO DE ADVOCATIONE DECIMARVM which lieth in this case if there be two Patrons of two adjoyning Parish Churches and the Incumbent of one of the Patrons demandeth Tithes in the spirituall Court against the Incumbent of the other and one of the Patrons sued a Writ of Judicavit to the Bishop to stop the proceedings in his Court for that the Right of the Patronage should come in question to his prejudice if the Tithes belonging to his Church and Incumbent should there be given from them by the Bishop without a legall triall by Jury at the Common Law in this case the Patron of the Clerk prohibited to sue for the Tithes before the Bishop by the Judicavit shall have this VVrit by the Statute of Westminster 2 chap 5. in this Form Praecipe A. quod reddat B. ADVOCATIONEM DECIMARUM Medietatis tertiae quartae partis or of a lesser part as unius curucatae terrae c. as some books are and if the right be found at the Common Law for the Patron who brings this VVrit his Clerk formerly barred and remedilesse by the Judicavit shall proceed in the Bishops Court to recover the Tithes against the other Incumbent The Third is a r VVrit of Assise Darrein Presentment or Assisae ultimae Praesentationis being a VVrit onely of Possession whereby the Patron who by himself or his Ancestors presented the last Incumbent to the Church which was instituted and inducted shall recover the possession thereof against the Disseisor or Usurper thereof This VVrit required the Sheriffe to summon twelve free and lawfull men of the vicenage to inquire upon oath Quis advocatus tempore Pacis praesentavit ultimam personam quae mortua est ad Ecclesiam de S. quae vacat c. cujus Advocatio idem A. dicit ad se pertinere Et Summoneas c. B. qui Advocationem illam ei deforciat quod tunc sit ibi audiendum illam recognitionem And this is a VVrit originall at the Common Law not given by Statute proving a Disseising of the Patrons Freehold The Fourth is the most usuall and common Writ of Quare Impedit the form whereof is this * Quod permittat à presentare idoneam personam ad Ecclesiam de B. quae vacat ad suam spectat donationem ut dicit unde quaeritur quod praedictus D. eum INIVSTE IMPEDIT c. Which Writ lyes for any Heir Purchaser and Patron of an Advowson in Fee Fee taile for life years grantees of the next avoidance onely for Executors Tenants in Dower Tenants by the Courtesie Guardians or others who have right to present to any Church or Benefice though they never presented before and that either against the Bishop or Ordinary usurper and usurpers Clerk admitted by the Ordinary or one two or all of them as the case requires for hindering them to present their Clerks to the Churches whereof they are Patrons By this Writ the Patron in some cases shall recover his Presentation and in some cases two years profits of the Church in Dammages where he loseth his presentation for that time till the next avoidance The Law and learning concerning this Writ being very copious I shall refer you to the Statute of West 2. ch. 5. and Cooks commentary thereon p. 356 c.

I shall onely observe from the words of this Writ That every Patron by the resolution of our Statutes and Laws in all ages hath a just and lawfull right to present a fit Person to his Church when void that it is injustice in any to disturbe him in his Presentation for which he shall recover good dammages against him This is an Originall Writ at Common Law before any Statute The Fifth is a Writ * Ne admittas directed to the Bishop or Ordinary of the Diocesse prohibiting him when two or more pretend themselves Patrons to a Church which is void are at suit in the Kings Courts one with another about the right of the Advowson by writ of quare Impedit Assise of Darrein presentment right of Advowson or the like not to admit either of their Clerks or any other to the Church till it be determined by Law to which of them the Advowson or Presentation of right belongeth This writ is to prevent the Bishop from doing any prejudice to the rightfull Patron or to present to the Church by Lays pending the suit between the Pretenders to the Patronage The Sixth is a Writ * De Clerico admittende directed to the Ordinary enjoyning him to admit the Clerk of that Patron who recovers in the Kings Court notwithstanding the former Writ of Ne admittas directed to him The like Writ lyes when the parties agree amongst themselves which of them shal present and also when the Ne admittas was granted upon a false suggestion that there was a suit depending between two Patrons when there was none The Seventh is a Writ of * quare non admisit directed to the Ordinary when he refuseth to admit the Patrons Clerk recovers in the Kings Court his Presentment to the Church in an assise of Darrein Presentment quare Impedit or Writ of Right upon a Writ De Clerico admittendo first directed to him It is grounded on the judgement and Record in Court And this Writ is to summon the Bishop to appear before the Kings Justices who gave the judgment for the Patron to shew cause why he refused to admit his

Rot. Parl. num 41. Item a Petition was delivered in Parliament touching the Ordering of Cistertians or Cisteux the which by the Kings commandement was sent to the Commons for to be advised of and deliver their advice thereon of which Petition the words here ensue May it please Our most Gracious Lord the King to consider that whereas time out of memory the Religious men of the Order of Cisteux of your Realm of England have paid all manner of Tithes of their Lands Tenements and Possessions let to Farm or manured and occupied by other persons than themselves and likewise of all manner of things titheable being and kept upon the said Lands Tenements and Possessions as fully and intirely and in the same manner as the other Leiges or Subjects of your said Realm Yet so it is that now of late the said Religious have purchased a Bull of our most holy Father the Pope by the which our said most holy Father hath granted to the said Religious and others your Leiges That they shall pay no tithes of their Lands Meadows Tenements Possessions Woods Beasts or any other things albeit they are or shall be leased or farmed out any title of prescription or right acquired or which may hereafter be acquired to the contrary notwithstanding The which pursuit and grant are apparently against the Laws and customs of your Realm by reason that diverse Compositions reall and Indenture are made between many of the said Religious and other your Leiges of the prise of such Tithes also because that in divers Parishes the Tithes demanded by the said Religious by colour of the said Bull exceed the fourth part of the value of the said Benefices within whose limits and bounds they are and so if the said Bull shall be executed as well you our most doubted Lord as your Leiges PATRONS OF THE SAID BENEFICES SHAL LOSE YOUR ADVOWSONS OF THE SAID BENEFICES IN GREAT PART and the Conusance of them which in this behalf appertaineth and in all times hath belonged to your Regality shal be discussed in Court Christian against the said Laws and Customs and to avoid the great trouble and commotion which may arise amongst your people by notion and execution of such novelties within your Realm May it therefore please your Majesty by assent of the Lords and Commons assembled in this present Parliament to ordain that if the said Religious or any other put or shall put the said Bull in execution in any manner that then he or those who put or shall put this Bull in execution shal be put out of your Protection by Processe duly made in this behalf and their goods forfeited to you lost and that as a work of charity Which Petition being read and considered was answered in these words following It is accorded by the King and Lords in Parliament that the Order of Cisteux shall stand in the state it was before the time of the Buls purchased comprised in this Petition and that as well those of the said Order as all others Religious and Seculars of what estate or condition soever they shall be who shall put the said Buls in execution or heretofore have

Ed. 1. against the Kings encroachment by Taxes or otherwise as against the Popes which appears by n our Historians and the Statutes of 25. E. 1. c. 1. and 28 E. 3. c. 1. in both which they caused the great Charter of England and of the Forrest to be confirmed in all points AS THE COMMON LAVV OF THE LAND both by the Kings Great Seal and by new Acts of Parliament enacting that all Judgements given by the Justices or any other Ministers that hold plea before them against the points of this Charter shall be undone and holden for nought That this Charter shall be sent under the Kings Seal to all Cathedrall Churches throughout the Realm there to remain and that it shall be read before the people twice a year That all Archbishops and Bishops shall pronounce Sentence of Excommunication twice a year against all those that BY VVORD DEED OR COUNSELL DOE CONTRARY TO THE FORESAID CHARTERS or that IN ANY POINT BREAK OR UNDO THEM who accordingly by a solemn form of Excommunication did Exommunicate and accurse all those that in any point did resist or break these Charters and Ordinances or IN ANY MANNER HEREAFTER procure counsell or any way assent to resist or break them or go about it BY VVORD OR DEED OPENLY OR PRIVILY BY ANY MANNER OF PRETEENCE OR COLOUR and sequester and exclude them from the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ and from all the company of heaven and from all the Sacraments of Holy Church Enacting further that the Great Charters of the Liberties of England should be delivered to every Sheriffe of England under the Kings Seal to be read four times in the year before the people in the full County and firmly observed in every point And that there should be chosen in every shire Court by the Commonalty of the same shire three substantiall Knights or other lawfull wise and well disposed persons to be assigned Justices under the Kings Great Seal to hear and determine without any VVrit but onely their Commission Such plaints as shall be made against all those that commit or offend against any point contained in the said Charters in the Shires where they be assigned as well within Franchises as without and to hear the plaints from day to day without any delay or delayes which be at the Common Law and to punish all such as shall be attainted of any Trespasse contrary to any point of the aforesaid Charters where remedy was not before at the Common Law by Imprisonment Fine or Ame●ciament according to the Trespasse Yea the Parliament of 42 E. 3. c. 1. held these great Charters such unalterable Fundamentall Laws and Priviledges that it not onely enacts they shall be holden and kept in all points but further IF ANY STATUTE BE MADE TO THE CONTRARY IT SHALL BE HOLDEN FOR NONE VVhich Law continues yet unrepealed Yea the whole House of Lords Commons the last Parliament were so zealous for the observation and perpetuation of Magna Charta the Petition of Right as unalterable Fundamentall Laws not to be repealed neglected altered violated upon any pr●tence being so just and absolutely necessary for the peoples Liberty and safety the Supreme Law that in their o Remonstrance to the late King 15. Decemb. 1641. in their Propositions sent to him afterwards 2 June 1642 ●hey earnestly pressed the King that for the better preservation of the Laws and peoples Rights and Liberties ●rom Invasion and u●urpation on them All Counselleu●s and publick Officers of State Judges Justices and Sheriffes should be * specially sworn to the due Observation and Execution of the great Charter the Petition of Right and all other Laws that concern the Subjects in their Rights and Liberties and that the Judges and Justices should be carefull and particularly Sworn to give these Laws in Charge to the Grand jury at every Assises Sessions and likewise every Term in the Kings Bench and to make diligent enquiry of the breaches of them in any kinde to be presented and punished according to Law as the onely means to make and preserve us a free and happy People It seems a strange miracle therefore unto me that any person should be so impudently presumptuous as to deny these Laws or any other to be Fundamentall to hold them alterable and repealable in part or in whole at any prevailing Factions arbitrary pleasure and to publish it by Authority after so many bloody costly old and new contests for their Defence and Perpetuity when as all expected rather such Oathes and wayes as these forecited for their future establishment And so much the rather because the late New-nodellers of our State and the greatest swaying Grandees amongst us in their printed Declaration 17 March 1648. Expressing the grounds of their late Proceedings against the King and of setling the present Government in the way of a Free State without King or House of Lords have given this high Encomium of our Laws and Engagement for their inviolable continuance p. 23 24 25. That they are GOOD and EXCELLENT LAWS enjoyed by our Ancesters long before the Conquest and have ever since continued in all former Changes without abrogation as the badges of our Freedom That our Ancesters spent much of their blood to have them confirmed by the great Charter of our Liberties and being duly executed are the most just free and equall of any other Laws in the world That the Liberty Property and Peace of the Subject are most fully preserved by them That they known their own particular Interests and that they most intended the common Interest of those they served was not possible to be preserved without these Laws which if they should be taken away all industry must cease All Misery Bloud and Confusion would follow and greater Calamities if possible then any faln upon us by the late Kings misgovernment would certainly involve all persons under which they must inevitably perish Whereupon they thus conclude These arguments are sufficient to PERSWADE ALL MEN but not this Pamphleter p Culpeper Lilly with other Jesuiticall and Anabaptisticall Furies against our Lawes to be CONTENTED TO SUBMIT THEIR LIVES and FORTUNES TO THESE JUST and LONG APPROVED RULES OF LAW with which they are already so fully acquainted and NOT TO BELIEVE THAT THE PARLIAMENT so they stile themselves INTENDS THE ABROGATION OF THEM BUT TO CONTINUE AND MAINTAIN THE LAWES OF THE NATION especially THAT MOST EXCELLENT LAVV OF THE PETITION OF RIGHT The violation of which they there charge against the King as one principle crime for
