Ne Admittas.

NE ADMITTAS (so called from those words in the writ, prohibemus ne admittas) is a writ directed to the bishop at the suit of one who is patron of any church, and he doubts that the bishop will collate a clerk of his own, or admit a clerk presented by another to the same benefice; then he that doubts it shall have this writ, to prohibit the bishop that he shall not collate or admit any to that church, pending the suit (a).

New Style-See Kalendar.

Nocturn.

NOCTURN was a service so called, from the ancient Christians rising in the night to perform the same (b).
