Gryaimrd, Reginald 0-Lyny, and Gilbert O-Leglaan appeared in the faid Chapter,
abufed the Archdeacon-‘very grolly, arid put a Prop to theproceedings of
the Courtf; for which the Archdeacon pronounced them excommunicated,
lnftead of applying to the fecular Arm to aid this Excommunication, the Arch-
deacon and his Archbifhop took a fhorter Courfe; for they in a manner be-
lieged and blocked up the Friers, by proclaiming an inhibition through the
whole Diocefe, that no perfon Iliould furnifh the Friers with Vifhials, or afford
them any Alms, nor Ihould fell them any thing for their Money, nor give them
any fort of Entertainment, -or offer to come near their Church. In this flreight
the Friets applyed to the Law for Relief; and we find a Writ‘ ifiiued to the
Archbifhop on the 1 Hi‘! of February that Year, commanding him without delay to
recall his Proclamation and Inhibition, to abftain from fuch Grievances for the
future; and alfo to caufe the Archdeacon to defift. The Airchbifliopmade a.
.- Return to the Writ ; that for his‘ Part he never remembred that he ever gave
.any Ohcenceto the Friers; but on the contrary, that it was always his refolution
to defend and favour them in Charity and Love ; if their own Demcrits did not
ftand in the way ; And if he had done any injury to the faid Community by his
Proclamations or Inhibitions, that he would with all fpecd caufc them to be re-’
called, would hinder his Archdeacon from proceeding againfls them, and would
caufe him to revoke whatever had , been unduly y done, and would inhibit
him forpthe future. To this return, the Friers, by their Lefturer, zidam dz Large,
