[1] This restraining reformation concerned the bene|fit of the whole land verie much:The begining of th [...] statute of Premunire for K. Edward the third was the first that caused an act to be made, that none vnder a great penaltie should séeke to obteine anie spirituall promotions within this realme of the pope, or bring anie sutes to his court, except by waie of appeale: and that those that were the aiders of any such offendors against this act, should run in danger of the same paine, which act by those kings that suc|ceeded was not onelie commanded to be kept, but al|so confirmed with new penalties, and is called the statute of Premunire. Caxton.
