"A distinction between the ecclesiasticall lawe and the common lawe;" — "wherein, first, is set downe what causes do appertaine to ecclesiasticall cognizance, whereof some are confirmed to the ecclesiasticall jurisdiction by statuts, others doe arise from the comon lawe, and ordinary practice, in which causes prohibitions are not to bee granted; secondly, that the temporall courts are not to hold plea in any cause originally, but where there is an originall writt in the chauncery to ground an accion at the comon lawe; and thirdly, that prohibitions are not to bee directed to ecclesiasticall judges but in cases where there is an originall writt to give remedy at the comon lawe for the matter contained in the libell pleaded in the spirituall courte, except in certaine cases provided by statute."
