A91228	A new discovery of some Romish emissaries, Quakers; as likewise of some popish errors, unadvisedly embraced, pursued by our anticommunion ministers. Discovering the dangerous effects of their discontinuing the frequent publick administration of the Lords Supper; the popish errors whereon it is bottomed; perswading the frequent celebration of it, to all visible church-members, with their free-admission thereunto; and prescribing some legal regal remedies to redress the new sacrilegious detaining of it from the people, where their ministers are obstinate. / By William Prynne of Swainswicke Esquire, a bencher of Lincolns Inne.	Prynne, William, 1600-1669.	1656 (1656)	Wing P4017; Thomason E495_2; ESTC R203274	40,067	59

The Parishioners of Sutton Valence in the County of Sussex according to their Custome chose two Churchwardens the Bishops Official at the visitation refused one of them and swore another Churchwarden in his place which had been Churchwarden before 5 years together and was very contentious and a maintainer of Sutes before the Official After much debate a Writ was awarded out of the Kings Bench by the judgement of the Court to the Official to admit and swear the Churchwarden the Parishioners had elected according to the Presiden of 26 E. 3. where the Bish. of Exeter was commanded to confirm the Children and send Crism to the Parishioners of St. Burian in Cornwall which he denied them And Fitzh Nat.

Jacobi B. R. and Pasc 2. Car. B. Regis cited one Midlecotes case adjudged in the Kings Bench to this effect A Constable was elected and sworn in a Court Leet the Justices of Peace at the Sessions refused him and elected and swore another Whereupon the Lord of the Leet sued out a Writ of Restitution to the Justices of Peace to allow of and restore the Constable chosen in the Leet being the Lords inheritance So if a Town-Clerk Alderman Burgesse Recorder or Mayor of a Town be unjustly kept out or removed from his place or diffranchised A Writ of Restitution will be and ought by law to be

granted out of the Kings Bench to restore them to the possession of their places as t is resolved in Sir James Baggs case Trin. 13 Jacobi Cooks 11. Report f. 93. c. in Audlyes Case Pas. 2. Caroli B.

Which I trust will henceforth be put in vigorous execution against all such obstinate offenders who shall persevere in the Sacrilegious Non-administration or impious Non-reception of the holy Communion after these my weak and other pious Mens endeavours to convince them of and reclame them from these their Unchristian Practices I shall conclude with that of f S.
