CHAP. XIII.
“The King to such Ecclesiastical Judges, Health. R. hath made known to us, that when I. his Clerk held the Church, in such a Vill, on his Presentation, the Advowson being his, as he says, N. a Clerk, demanding the same, as of the Advowson of M. a Knight, draws the said I. into a suit before you in the Court Christian. But if the aforesaid N. should recover the Church under the Advowson of the aforesaid M. it is clear that the said R. would incur the loss of his Advowson. And since suits concerning the Advowsons of Churches belong to my Crown and Dignity, I prohibit you from proceeding in that cause, until it be proved in my Court, to which of them the Advowson of such Church belongs. Witness, &c.”
But if, after this Prohibition, they proceed in the cause, then, they shall be summoned to appear in the King’s Court, and answer for their conduct, by the following Writ.
