A01338	The argument of Master Nicholas Fuller, in the case of Thomas Lad, and Richard Maunsell, his clients Wherein it is plainely proved, that the Ecclesiasticall Commissioners haue no power, by vertue of their commission, to imprison, to put to the Oath ex officio, or to fine any of his Maiesties subiects.

corrupt_a perjury_n shall_v forfeit_v twenty_o pound_n and_o because_o the_o preamble_n and_o matter_n precedent_n touch_v witness_n only_o therefore_o that_o penalty_n be_v restreyn_v by_o

commission_n be_v of_o force_n to_o execute_v the_o ancient_a jurisdiction_n over_o the_o ecclesiastical_a and_o spiritual_a estate_n yet_o because_o this_o commission_n and_o the_o proceed_n of_o the_o commissioner_n do_v much_o vary_v from_o the_o course_n of_o it_o be_v in_o construction_n restrain_v to_o take_v force_n against_o the_o the_o old_a common_a law_n of_o england_n express_v in_o the_o statute_n of_o 42._o edw_n 3._o cap._n 3._o and_o from_o the_o ancient_a jurisdiction_n ecclesiastical_a for_o that_o no_o pretend_a custom_n against_o those_o statute_n which_o prohibit_v
