Angl. lib. 3. cap. 6. which are so called because they handle matters especially appertaining to Christianity and such as without good knowledge in Divinity cannot be well judged of being held heretofore by Archbishops and Bishops as from the Pope because he challenged the superiority in all Causes Spiritual but since his ejection they hold them by the Kings Authority Virtute Magistratus sui as the Admiral of England doth his Court Whereupon they send out their Precepts in their own names and not in the Kings as the Justices of the Kings Courts do And therefore as the Appeal from these Courts did lie to Rome now by the Stat. 25 Hen. 8. cap. 19. it lies to the King in his Chancery Court Baron Curia Baronis Is a Court which every Lord of a Mannor who in ancient times were called Barons hath within his own Precincts Barons in other Nations have great Territories and Jurisdiction from their Soveraigns But here in England what they are and have been heretofore see in Baron Of this Court and Court Leet read Kitchin Sir Edward Coke lib. 4. among his Copihold Cases fol. 26. b. says That this Court is twofold after a sort and therefore if a Man having a Mannor grant the Inheritance of the Copiholders to another the Grantee may keep a Court for the Customary Tenants and accept Surrenders to the use of others and make both Admittances and Grants the other Court is of Freeholders which is properly called the Court Baron wherein the suters that is the Freeholders are Judges whereas of the other the Lord or his Steward is Judge Court of Py-powders See Py-Powders Court of Requests Curia Requisitionum Was a Court of Equity of the same nature with the Chancery but inferior to it principally instituted for the relief of such Petitioners as in conscionable Cases addressed themselves by Supplication to His Majesty Of this Court the Lord Privy Seal was chief Judge assisted by the Masters of Requests and had beginning about 9 Hen. 7. according to Sir Julius Caesars Tractate on this subject Mich. 40 41 Eliz. in the Court of Common Pleas it was adjudged upon solemn Argument That this Court of Requests or the Whitehal was no Court that had power of Judicature c.

Were Benefices in a kinde and so termed because they were possessed by the more eminent sort of the Templers whom the cheif Master by his Authority created and called Praeceptores Templi Stephens de Jurisd lib. 4. cap. 10. num 27.

Br. fol. 13. And Fitz. Nat. Br. fol. 5.

Premisses See Habendum Premium Praemium A Reward or Recompence Among Merchants it is used for that sum of Money as Eight or ten per Cent. which the Ensured gives the Ensurer for ensuring the safe return of any Ship or Merchandise Anno 19 Car. 2. cap. 1. Praemunire Is taken either for a Writ so called or for the offence whereupon the Writ is granted the one may be understood by the other Heretofore the Church of Rome under pretence of her Supremacy and the Dignity of S. Peters Chair took upon her to bestow most of the Bishopricks Abbathies and other Ecclesiastical Livings of worth here in England by Mandates before they were void pretending therein a great care to see the Church provided of a Successor before it needed Whence it arose that these Mandates or Bulls were called Gratiae Expectativae or Provisiones whereof you may read a learned Discourse in Duarenus de Beneficiis lib. 3. cap. 1. These Provisions were so ri●e with us that at last King Edward the Third not disgesting so intollerable an Encroachment made a Statute in the Twenty fifth year of His Reign Stat. 5. cap. 22. and another Stat. 6. cap. 1. and a third Anno 27. against those that drew the Kings people out of the Realm to answer things belonging to the Kings Court and another Anno 28 Stat. 2. cap. 1 2. 3 4. whereby he greatly restrained this liberty of the Pope who notwithstanding still adventured to continue the Provisions in so much as King Richard the Second likewise made a Statute against them Anno 12. cap. 15. And in the Thirteenth year of His Reign cap. 2. making mention of the said first Statute of Edward the Third ratifying the same and appointing the punishment of those that offended against it to be Perpetual banishment Forfeiture of their Lands Tenements Goods and Chattels c. And again in the Sixteenth year of His Reign cap. 5. to meet more fully with all the shifts invented to avoid the former Statutes he expressed the offence more particularly and sets the same punishment to it that he ordained in the last mentioned Statute After him King Henry the Fourth in like manner aggrieved at other abuses not fully met with in the former Statutes in the second year of His Reign cap. 3. 4. adds certain new Cases and lays upon the Offenders in them the same punishment whereto I refer you as likewise to Anno 9 Ejusdem cap. 8. and 3 Hen. 5. cap. 4. and Smith de Repub. Angl. lib. 3. cap. 9. Some later Statutes do cast this punishment upon other Offenders as namely the Statute of 1 Eliz. cap. 1. upon him that denies the Kings Supremacy the second time and the Stat. 13 Eliz. cap. 2. upon him that affirms the Authority of the Pope or refuseth to take the Oath of Supremacy and the Stat. 13 Eliz. cap. 1. upon such as are Seditious talkers of the inheritance of the Crown or affirm the Queen to be an Heretick And the Stat. 13 Car. 2. cap. 1. upon such as affirm the Parliament begun at Westminster 3 Nov. 1640. is not yet dissolved or that there is any obligation by any Oath Covenant or Engagement whatsoever to endeavor a change of Government either in Church or State or that both or either House of Parliament have or hath a Legislative Power without the King And the word is applied most commonly to the punishment first ordained by the Statutes before mentioned for such as transgressed them For where it is said that any Man for an offence committed shall incur a Praemunire it is meant That he shall incur the same punishment as is inflicted on those that transgress the Stat. 16 Rich. 2. cap. 5. commonly called the Statute of Praemunire which kinde of Reference or Application is not unusual in our Statutes As to the Etymology of the word some think it proceeds from the strength given to the Crown by the former Statutes against the usurpation of forein power which opinion may receive some ground from the Stat. 25 Edw. 3. stat 6. cap. 1. But others think it grows from the Verb Praemonere being barbarously turned into Praemunire to forewarn or bid the offender take keed or from the severity or grievousness of the Punishment Of which a Reason may be gathered from the Form of the Writ in Old Nat. Br. fol. 143. Praemunire facias praefatum praepositum J. R. procuratorem
