LVIII. Inhibitions not to be granted, without the sub∣scription of an Advocate.

THat the Iurisdictions of Bishops may be preserved, as neere as may be entire and free, from prejudice; and that for the bo∣hoofe of the Subjects of this Land, better provi∣sion be made, that henceforward they be not grie∣ved with frivolous and wrongfull suites and mo∣lestations: It is ordayned and provided, That no Inhibition shalbe granted out of any Court; be∣longing to the Archbishop of the Province, or the supreame Prerogative, at the instance of any par∣tie, unlesse it be subscribed by an Advocate, practi∣sing

in the said Court, which, the said Advocate shall doe freely, not taking any Fee for the same, except the party prosecuting the suite, doe volun∣tarily bestow some gratuity upon him for his counsell & advise in the said case. The like course shalbe taken in granting forth any Inhibition at the instance of any party, by the Bishop or his Chancellor against the Archdeacon, or any other person exercising Ecclesiasticall Iurisdiction; and if in the Court or Consistory of any Bishop, there be no Advocate at all, then shall the subscription of a Proctor practising in the same Court, be held sufficient.
