And be it also Ordained by the Authority aforesaid , That Writs of Adjournment shall be directed to the Iustices of the said Courts , giving them auâ—Źhority to Adjourn the said Term of Easter , as aforesaid , that is to say , from and after the first Return , called Quindena Paschae , until the first Return of Trinity Term , called Crastino Trinitatis , as before is said , and the said Adjournment shall be made , as aforesaid . And be it further Ordained by the Authority aforesaid , That all Matters , Causes and Sutes , Depending in any of the said Courts , shall have continuance , and the parties shall have day , from the day of the said Adjournment , until the said Return of Crastino Trinitatis , as is aforesaid ; And the Lords Commissioners of the Great Seal are required to issue forth Writs accordingly .
