51. Petition of the archbishop, ^haplain of Henry (IV), to the 

 11 July, 1407. king. f. 9\ 



Sets out that, though by divine right and the law and imnieuiorial 

 custom of the realm the cognizance (cognitio) and punishment of the 

 crime of perjury and all mortal sins belong to the ecclesiastical court 

 (forimi), the king, on the false representation (suggestionem) of John Euyn, 

 by royal brief had prohibited the archbishop and his official from holding a 

 plea of agreement (ne placitum conventionis . . . teneamus) against Euyn 

 (as appears in the brief, now sent by the archbishop to the king's court), 

 because at the instance of Isabella Drumgoyl the avchbishup has proceeded 

 and intends to proceed to inflict the canonical penalty for perjury on Euyn 

 (as appears from the conclusion of the libel presented in the cause, a copy of 

 which the archbishop sends to the king's court). The archbishop prays that 

 the prohibition be revoked.
