PRotection is a writ and it lyeth where that a mā will passe ouer the Sea in the kings seruice, then hee shal haue this writ, and by this writ hee shall be quit of all manner of plees be∣twéen him & any other per∣son, except plées of dower, Quare impedit, assise of no∣uel disseisin, darreine pro∣sentment, and attaintes, and plees before Iustice in eire. But there be two
writs of protection, one Cum clausula volumus, & another Cum clausula no∣lumus, as appeareth▪ in the Register. Also a pro∣tection shall not bee allo∣wed in any plée begun be∣fore the date of the protec∣tion if it be not in vyages where the King himselfe shall passe, or other vyages royals, or in messages of the king for neede of the Realme. Also a protecti∣on shall not bee allowed for victuall bought for the vyage whereof the prote∣ction maketh mention, nor in plees of trespasse or of contractes made after the date of the protection. But note that any may attach or begin any action reall against him that hath such protection, and therein pro••éede vntill the defendant cometh & shew∣eth his protection in the Court, & hath it allowed, and then his plée or suite shall goe without day. But if after it appeareth that the party which hath the protection goeth not a∣••o••d y• affaires for which he hath it, then the demaū∣dant
shall haue a repeale thereof. And if he go & re∣turne after the busines en∣ded, the demaundant shall haue a resummons to re∣continue the former suit.
