Marginalia10Item, it must not be forgottē to talke of þ^e sentence of excōmunication, which is decreed by vertue of one onely Citatiō, so oftē tymes as a mā fayleth in his apperance.

Marginalia11Item, mention is to be made of those kinde of obligations De nisi. wherby a man is excommunicated by and by, if he make not payment at the day prefixed, although he be not able so to doe.

Marginalia12Item, whosoeuer by vertue of excommunication in the byshops court is excommunicate, and he so excōmunicate do not satisfye the summe due about the excōmunication: by and by the summe is doubled: And the secular power charged by the bishops or their officialls, that they vnder paine of excommunication compell the excōmunicates by attaching their goodes to paye the sayd summe, & not to misse a iote: which monition if the laitie refuseth to put in execution, they them selues are then excōmunicate and in no wise to be absolued before they disburse that money the which the principall excommunicate persons should haue payde.

Marginalia13Item, if the Baylyffes, Hedborowghes, or other the kings officers and iudges of þ^e temporallitie, receauing the foresayd monitions do put the same in executiō, and fynde those that be excommunicate to be beggerlye and nothing worth: the said officers are bound at their own proper costes and charges, to resort to the byshops see or consistorie, whersoeuer it is, and there to take a corporall othe, that the parties excommunicate are nothyng worth. This if they fayle, those officers are sure to be excommunicate and therby inforced to disburse the due of the fyrst excommunicate persons.

Marginalia15Item, if a lay man inhabiter of any þ^e kings townes, procureth hys debter, being also a lay man, to be arrested by vertue of secular iustice in that place: & he which is so arrested appealeth, & causeth also his crediter to be arrested, the officialls will take vpon them to heare thys matter: And if any thing be attempted concernyng the appeale, they mysse not to demaund coste and satisfaction both of þ^e iustice, and also of him to whom the arreste was made. And if any of the princes retinue compelleth them to resiste this iniurye, they are straightwayes pronounced excommunicate.

Marginalia16Item, the sayd Byshops haue a number of officialls vnder thē, whom they terme denes of the clergie, which vsually causeth all sortes of people through the kynges dominons only by word of mouth to come afore them, and that sometyme without commission: whan that in euery diocesse there ought onely to be but one seate or Consistorye, wherin matters should be heard & decided. And hereby it happeneth diuers tymes, that many are wrongfully and without cause cited, and to þ^t end: that they may pay money inough, to ryd themselues therof:which is to þ^e no small preiudice of the kinges maiesties subiectes and the temporall iurisdiction.

Marginalia18
Maryed clearkes.Item, the sayd prelates or their officialls, do presume to seale vp the moueable goods of maryed clerkes, and of marchauntes: where in suche cases, the order therof appertayneth to the temporall lawe.

Marginalia20Item, they presume to heare and haue the cognition of actions: which are reall or at least wyse mixte, that is both reall and personall.

Marginalia21Item, the sayd prelates goe about to haue cognition of such temporall mens matters as dwell in hospitalls, almous houses, and the kynges peculiars, and in villagies of hys subiectes, although the plea therof apperteyneth to the king himselfe, and hys subiectes: forbydding vnder payne of excommunication and great forfets, no mā so hardie to cōmence any sute agaynst any of them, but before thē selues in payne of a great sūme of mony.

Marginalia23Itē, they do cause by þ^e gouernours of their clerkes, widowe women to be inforced & defyled, and will haue the discussing therof: as in lyke maner, they will determine the matters of Pupilles, applieng their goodes whan they dyed, as they do the goods of them which die intestate to their owne vse, the cognition wherof belongeth to the kyng hymselfe: because those kind of persons with their goods are warde to the kyng and vnder hys tuition.

Marginalia24

Marginalia25Item, they exercise their iurisdiction in all places, hauing no regard, neyther to the kinges peculiar townes nor yet to hys subiectes: but runneth in euery hole, whē by law they ought to haue no iurisdiction, without their owne limytes and precincte.

And this is a new inuention spronge vp of late amongst them, muche to the preiudice of the king and hys subiectes.

Marginalia27Item, whan the B. or their officialls doe prosecute a matter of office before them selues agaynst any temporall man, and haue no profe therof: They compell many of the laitie to be deposed therein what they knowe, hauing no respecte whether they bee the kynges burgesses, or no, or what they be, and yet will they not allowe any charges and expenses for their paynes taken in that behalfe. But if they appeare not at their day, they are sure to be excommunicate,

Marginalia28Item, if malefactors be apprehended by any of the kings iustices, and indicted of theft, and he (whose goods they were which were stollen) cōmeth before the kinges
