AN APOLOGIE FOR SVNDRIE PROCEEDINGS by Iurisdiction Ecclesiasticall, of late times by some chalenged, and al∣so diuersly by them impugned.

By which Apologie (in their seuerall due places) all the Reasons and Allegations set downe as well in a Treatise, as in certaine Notes (that goe from hand to hand) both against proceeding ex Officio, and against Oaths ministred to parties in causes criminall; are also examined and answered:

Vpon that occasion lately reuiewed, and much enlarged aboue the first priuate proiect, and now published, being diuided into three partes: the first part whereof chief∣lie sheweth what matters be incident to Ecclesiasticall conisance; and so allowed by Statutes and Common law: the second treateth (for the most part) of the two wayes of proceeding in causes Cri∣minal, viz. by way of Accusation, & ex officio Iudicis: the third concerneth Oaths in generall, but more specially the lawfulnesse of such as be ministred touching supposed of∣fenses, either of themselues that sweare, or of their brethren:

Respectiuelie submitted to the graue iudgements of the reuerend Iudges and other Sages of the Common lawe: of Iudicious Professors of the Ciuill lawe: and of the right reucrend Prelates and other grounded Diuines in this Realme.

Whereunto (for the learneds sake, and for similitude of Argument and Iudgement) I haue presumed to adioine that right excellent and sound determina∣tion (concerning Oaths) which was made by M. LANCE∣LOT ANDROVVES Doctor in Diuinitie, in the common Diuinitie Schoole of the Uni∣uersitie of Cambridge in Iulie, An. 1591.

Lex, iustitiae; Iustitia, Reipub. basis.

Imprinted at London by the Depu∣ties of CHRISTOPHER BAR∣KER, Printer to the Queenes most excellent Maiestie.
