A67871	A just vindication of the questioned part of the reading of Edward Bagshaw, Esq; an apprentice of the common law. Had in the Middle Temple Hall the 24th day of February, being Munday, anno Dom. 1639. upon the statute of 25 E.3. called, Statutum pro clero, from all scandalous aspersions whatsoever. With a true narrative of the cause of silencing the reader by the then Archbishop of Canterbury: with the arguments at large of those points in his reading, for which he was questioned at the Council-Board.	Bagshaw, Edward, d. 1662.	1660 (1660)	Wing B396; ESTC R208288	31,311	44

think_v it_o a_o most_o needful_a point_n to_o be_v know_v to_o the_o student_n of_o law_n when_o as_o the_o establishment_n of_o the_o reform_a religion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n lie_v at_o the_o stake_n upon_o it_o for_o i_o read_v it_o only_o for_o the_o middle_a temple_n hall_n not_o for_o lambeth_n and_o can_v not_o imagine_v that_o any_o charon_n can_v have_v be_v find_v that_o

the_o make_n of_o that_o law_n this_o be_v not_o a_o case_n but_o a_o other_o point_n of_o my_o first_o case_n upon_o the_o first_o division_n it_o be_v thus_o whether_o a_o benificed_a clerk_n may_v by_o my_o statute_n exercise_v civil_a jurisdiction_n and_o be_v a_o justice_n of_o peace_n i_o put_v not_o this_o case_n of_o a_o bishop_n at_o all_o as_o be_v of_o a_o high_a sphere_n than_o a_o

statute_n there_o be_v not_o in_o england_n a_o benefice_a clerk_n a_o justice_n of_o peace_n but_o yet_o at_o the_o time_n of_o my_o read_n there_o be_v never_o more_o in_o the_o argument_n of_o which_o point_n i_o do_v not_o at_o all_o as_o i_o shall_v hereafter_o make_v appear_v speak_v against_o their_o be_v justice_n of_o peace_n for_o that_o they_o may_v be_v so_o by_o law_n by_o virtue_n of_o the_o king_n commission_n only_o by_o way_n of_o caution_n in_o that_o they_o may_v refuse_v in_o respect_n of_o their_o order_n and_o i_o only_o declare_v how_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o the_o law_n of_o the_o church_n stand_v heretofore_o in_o that_o point_n and_o that_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o our_o saviour_n ab_fw-la initio_fw-la non_fw-la fuit_fw-la sic_fw-la the_o historian_n go_v on_o and_o say_v his_o three_o case_n thus_o whether_o a_o bishop_n without_o call_v a_o synod_n have_v power_n as_o diocesan_n to_o convict_v a_o heretic_n that_o which_o i_o put_v be_v the_o four_o point_n of_o my_o three_o case_n upon_o the_o three_o division_n and_o it_o be_v this_o whether_o a_o clerk_n that_o be_v a_o heretic_n may_v at_o this_o day_n be_v convict_v and_o condemn_v for_o heresy_n by_o his_o own_o ordinary_a alone_a and_o i_o think_v he_o can_v not_o this_o be_v a_o most_o needful_a point_n to_o be_v know_v to_o the_o student_n of_o law_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o obscurity_n of_o the_o law_n in_o it_o not_o only_o in_o respect_n of_o the_o definition_n of_o heresy_n and_o what_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v to_o be_v wherein_o the_o law_n be_v dark_a but_o likewise_o how_o a_o heretic_n shall_v be_v convict_v and_o the_o statute_n concerning_o heresy_n be_v repeal_v by_o king_n edw._n 6._o and_o revive_v again_o by_o q._n mary_n and_o afterwards_o all_o of_o they_o repeal_v again_o by_o q._n elizabeth_n but_o for_o none_o of_o these_o be_v i_o silence_v but_o upon_o another_o point_n upon_o touch_v the_o jurisdiction_n

therefore_o i_o do_v conclude_v that_o the_o law_n of_o fine_v and_o imprison_v be_v never_o give_v to_o any_o clergyman_n by_o any_o spiritual_a law_n of_o this_o realm_n and_o use_v at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o 1_o eliz._n be_v make_v of_o which_o i_o will_v speak_v of_o anon_o reas._n 2._o the_o second_o reason_n be_v take_v out_o of_o dr._n and_o student_n lib._n 2._o

church_n shall_v decree_v that_o a_o heretic_n shall_v forfeit_v his_o good_n that_o decree_n be_v void_a because_o the_o good_n of_o man_n be_v temporal_a and_o belong_v to_o the_o king_n court_n and_o i_o think_v say_v he_o that_o the_o ordinary_n can_v not_o have_v set_v a_o fine_a upon_o a_o heretic_n until_o it_o be_v so_o ordain_v by_o the_o statute_n of_o 2_o h._n 4._o c._n 15._o whence_o i_o infer_v that_o if_o a_o ecclesiastical_a court_n can_v fine_a by_o their_o law_n a_o fortiori_fw-la it_o can_v imprison_v now_o that_o the_o high_a commission_n court_n be_v a_o mere_a

the_o high_a commission_n at_o the_o time_n of_o the_o make_n of_o the_o statute_n of_o 1_o eliz_n for_o no_o law_n or_o statute_n since_o that_o act_n have_v give_v they_o that_o power_n and_o i_o find_v but_o two_o case_n in_o all_o my_o read_n and_o study_n in_o it_o wherein_o the_o high_a commission_n have_v power_n to_o fine_a and_o imprison_v 1._o the_o one_o be_v by_o the_o statute_n of_o 2_o h._n 4._o cap._n 15._o 2._o the_o other_o be_v by_o the_o statute_n of_o 1_o h._n 7._o cap._n 4._o by_o the_o statute_n of_o 2_o h._n 4._o every_o bishop_n may_v fine_a and_o imprison_v in_o his_o
