Extract

The lieges of the commonalty of England: complaint about offences committed by ordinaries of the Church, who daily take before them pleas of contract, covenants, debts, and other pleas, greatly damaging and oppressing the people, to the disinheritance of the king and against the dignity of the crown. Any poor man without prohibition who is placed in contempt under their jurisdiction will be made to pay penance or excommunicated, and thus unable to respond in court. Request for a remedy.
