In the case of individuals interdiction or suspension _(i.e_., from service and sacraments) does not differ in effect from excommunication, except that the former are temporary penalties and to terminate upon compliance with the judge's order. See Burn, _Eccles. Law_ (ed. 1763), i, 616 (Interdiction) and ii, 362-3 (Suspension). [34] Thomas North, _A Chronicle of the Church of St. Martin's in Leicester_ (1866), 116 (1568-9).

Cobb, _Churchwardens Accounts of St. Ethelburga-within-Bishopsgate_ (1905), p. 10 (1595) and p. 12 (1604), respectively. Stanhope was chancellor to the bishop of London. [38] See p. 46 ff. _infra_.

[41] Ordinary is that ecclesiastical magistrate who has regular jurisdiction over a district, in opposition to judges extraordinarily appointed. At common law a bishop was taken to be the ordinary in his diocese, and so he was designated in some acts of Parliament. But as a matter of fact 'ordinary' signifies any judge authorized to take cognizance of causes by virtue of his office or by custom. Such were pre-eminently the archdeacons. These officers, at first merely attendant on the bishops at public services, were gradually entrusted by the latter with their own jurisdictional powers, owing to the vast extent of dioceses, so that "the holding of General Synods or Visitations when the Bishop did not visit, came by degrees to be known and established Branches of the Archidiaconal Office, as such, which by this means attained to the dignity of Ordinary instead of delegated jurisdiction." Edmund Gibson, _Codex Juris Ecclesiastici Anglicani_, or the _Statutes, Constitutions_ (etc.) _of the Church of England_, ii (1713), 998. Cf. Richard Burn, _Eccles. Law_, ii, 101-2. As the ordinary in practice entrusted his office of judge to an official, I have used the two terms interchangeably. In some places exempted from the archdeacon's jurisdiction commissaries acted as judges, Burn, i, 391. [42] That is, services and sacraments (except baptism) were suspended in it. The words of Burn (_Eccles. Law_, i, 616, quoting Gibson, 1047) are
