Item, Because that Prelates
do complain themselves, that
as well beneficed People of
holy Church, as other, be
arrested and drawn out as
well of Cathedral Churches, as
of other Churches and their
Churchyards, and sometime
whiles they be intended to
Divine Services, and also in
other Places, although they be
bearing the Body of our Lord
Jesus Christ to sick Persons,
and so arrested and drawn out,
be bound and brought to Pris-
on against the Liberty of holy
Church: (2) it is ordained,
that if any Minister of the
King, or other, do arrest any
Person of holy Church by such
184* manner, and thereof be
duly convict, he shall have
Imprisonment and then be
ransomed at the King's? Will,
and make dree to the Parties
so arrested; (3) provided al-
ways, that the said People of
holy Church shall not hold]
them within the Churches or
Sanctuaries by Fraud or Col-
lusion in any manner. (4) And
therefore we command, that
thou cause all the said Stat-
utes to be cried and published,
and firmly kept through thy
Bailiwick, according to the
Form and Tenour thereof, and
