I shall cloze up this Chapter with a most memorable Prohibition against the Popes and Spiritual Courts Usurpations on the Crown. The Archbishop of Canterbury be∣ing sued by the Prior and Monks of Canterbury, for certain Advousons of Churches, Possessions, Rents, and Services, in the Ecclesiastical Court, by authority of the Popes Letters, despising the remedy of the Kings Court where they ought to sue for them; thereupon the King issued forth this Prohibition to the Archbishop, prohibiting him upon his Faith and Allegiance to him not to answer them in that Court, it being pre∣judicial to his Royal Crown and Dignity, against which he should repute it a volun∣tary contempt in the Archbishop, if he should wittingly and willingly disobey this his Prohibition, by answering in that Court.
