your said uncivil Letter; that you told him therein, in
plain terms, He may be crowned for an Ass, &c.
5. And further to disgrace the said Mr. Dr. Walton, in
the said University, did publish a Copy of the said Letter
to Sir William Courtney, and others; and in your Letter
was contained Sips••lam lichenen mentegram; Take that for
your Inheritance, and thank God you have a good Fa∣ther.
And did you not covertly imply thereby, that
the said Dr. Waltons Father (late Bishop of Exeter) was
subject to the French Pox and Leprosie, &c.
6. That in another Letter you sent to Dr. Maders, Dr.
in Physick also, you named Dr. Walton, and made a Ho••n
in your Letter: Whether you meant not thereby, that
they were both Cuckolds; or what other meaning you
had.
7. You knowing Dr. Walton to be one of the High-Commission
in the Diocess of Exeter; and having ob∣tained
a Sentence against him in the Star-Chamber, for
contriving and publishing a Libel, did triumphingly say,
You had gotten on the Hip a Commissioner for Causes
Ecclesiastical, &c. which you did to disgrace him, and
in him the whole Commission in those Parts.
8. That after the Letter Missive sent to you, you said
arrogantly, That you cared not for any thing this Court
can do, for that you can remove this Matter at your plea∣sure.
And this Term it was moved to have a Prohibition in
this Case; and the matter was well argued: And at last
it was Resolved by Coke Chief Justice, Warberton, Daniel,
and Foster, Justices; That the first six Articles were meer∣ly
Temporal; and, in truth, is, in the nature of an Acti∣on
upon the Case, for Scandal of Dr. Walton in his Pro∣fession
of Physick: and therefore, for them a Prohibition
doth lye, for divers Causes.
1. Because the Persons and Matters are Tempo∣ral.
