Francisci Clarke PRAXIS IN Curiis Ecclesiasticis.

[Page]

[Page]

TIT. I.

Curiae Ecclesiasticae, Autoritate Reverendissimi in Christo Patris ac Domini Domini permissione divina Cantuariensis Archiepiscopi, totius Angliae Primatis, & Metropolitani, infra Civitatem London, celebratae.

ALMA Curia Cantuariensis de Arcubus London, celebratur intra Ecclesiam Parochialem Beatae Mariae Virginis de Arcubus Civitatis London; & antiquitùs nominata fuit simpliciter Consistorium Archiepiscopi, prout ex antiquis Statutis ejusdem Curiae constat.

Curia Audientiae Cantuariensis, tenetur in loco Consistoriali intra Ecclesiam Cathedralem Divi Pauli Civitatis London.

Curia Praerogativae Cantuariensis etiam in eodem loco Consistoriali habetur.

[Page]

TIT. II.

Inchoatio, sive Inceptio Terminorum, seu primorum dierum Juridicorum in Curiis praedictis.

PRIMA Sessio Generalis in Curia de Arcubus Termino Michaelis quotannis habetur proximo die non feriato post festum Sanctae Fidis Virginis. Termino Hilarii proximo die non feriato post festum Sancti Hilarii. Termino Paschae die Lunae ad duas septimanas post diem Paschae, vulgariter dicta Curia proximo quindenae Paschae. Termino Trinitatis proximo die non feriato post festum Sanctae Trinitatis. Curia de Arcubus semper tenetur ante Meridiem. Curia Audientiae semper teneri consuevit ante meridiem proximi diei non feriati post Curiam de Arcubus.

Post Meridiem ejusdem diei in qua Curia Audientiae celebratur, Curia Praerogativae pariter etiam teneri solita est. Deinceps autem nulli sunt certi aut stati dies, in quibus Jus publice in dictis Curiis dicatur, observati; sed subinde post intervallum sex, septem, octo, pluriúmve aut pauciorum dierum prout res postulaverit, habitâ videlicet ratione, ut Informationes, uti appellant, pro faciliori expeditione & celeriori terminatione litium in Curiis antedictis pendentium, debitè fiant. Inde (que) usu receptum est, quod citationes in istis Curiis emanent ad comparendum tertio, quarto, quinto, sexto, seu alio die post executionem ejusdem Citationis, si Juridicus fuerit, alioquin proximo die Juridico ex tunc sequente, quo Judicem ad Jura reddenda, horâ Causarum consuetâ, pro Tribunali sedere contigerit.

[Page] Et erit quidem utile sic Citatis accedere ad Civitatem London, die in hujusmodi citatione expresso; ut si ille dies forsan non sit Juridicus, commodiùs proximo die, ipso videlicet die comparitionis suae adveniente, se in Judicio legitimè sistant.

TIT. III.

Judices Moderni dictarum Curiarum, eorum (que) Tituli.

VEnerabilis Vir Richardus Cosin, L. L. Doctor, est Officialis Principalis Almae Curiae Cantuariensis de Arcubus London, qui vulgariter & maximâ ex parte nunc appellatur (prout per complures annos jam elapsos appellari consuevit) Decanus de Arcubus. Quod inde traxit originem, quòd Officialis de Arcubus olim admodum raro in civitate London commorabatur, utpote qui saepenumero tam infrà hoc Regnum Angliae, quam in partibus transmarinis in negotiis Regiis occupatus esset: Eo verò absente Decanus Decanatùs de Arcubus (cujus Jurisdictio limitibus tredecem peculiarium Parochiarum Londinensium immediatè etiam Jurisdictioni. Ecclesiasticae Archiepiscopi Cantuariensis subditarum terminata est) frequenter admodum, tanquam status Surrogatus seu Substitutus ipsius Officialis, id (que) ex praescripto antiquorum Statutorum Curiae praedictae, Jus in eâdem Curiâ dicebat: ex quo, tractu temporis, evenit, & tanquam communi errore receptum est, ut etiam ipse Officialis (dum Causarum expeditioni vacat) Decanus de Arcubus vulgariter nuncupetur. Idem porro [Page] Officialis quandoque Officialis Consistorii Archiepiscopi, alias verò Officialis sine aliâ adjectione, in eisdem antiquis Statutis dictus est [...] quandoquidem Archiepiscopus Cantuariensis nullum alium tunc temporis Provinciae suae habuit Officialem.

Egregius Vir Wilhelmus Aubrey, L. L. Doctor, Regiae Majestati à Supplicum Libellis Magister, est Curiae Audientiae Cantuariensis Causarum & Negotiorum Auditor; & Vicarius in Spiritualibus Generalis Archiepiscopi Cantuariensis vigore specialis Commissionis.

Venerabilis Vir Wilhelmus Lewin, miles, legum Doctor, est Magister, Custos sive Commissarius Curiae Praerogativae Cantuariensis.

TIT. IV.

Causae in genere quae tractantur tam in Curia de Arcubus quam in Curia Audientiae.

OFFICIALIS Almae Curiae Cantuariensis de Arcubus est Judex competens ad cognoscendum de causis Ecclesiasticis quibuscunque, non solum ad instantiam partium, sed etiam ex Officio suo, sive mero, sive promoto, inchoatis seu motis: Necnon in causis Appellationum & Querelarum quarumcunque (nam in Statuto Anno vicesimo quarto Henrici octavi edito reservatur Archiepiscopo Cantuariensi Autoritas procedendi in causis Appellationum solitis & consuetis) à quibuscun (que) Episcopis, Decanis, & Capitulis Ecclesiarum Cathedralium sive Collegiatarum, necnon ab Archidiaconis eorumque officialibus

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).

Keying and markup guidelines are available at the Text Creation Partnership web site.
