Latin term or phrase: usus, or consuetudo ecclesiae
The phrase is from the “A Commentary upon the Book of the Revelation”, by James Durham, and the context:

When yet his scope is clear to lessen that distance of superiority that seemed to be between him and him, because of these titles. 2. The very expression will bear the same, quat jam Ecclesiae usus obtinuit, &c. which necessarily importeth, that sometimes such difference was not in custom in the church: and where will it be found in Augustine, that he compareth any custom of the church after Christ with what was before, as different customs of different times of the same church? for to him, and almost all the fathers, usus, or consuetudo ecclesiae, is ever taken, when given, as a ground of any practice as contradistinguished from divine institution, as in the last cited words of Jerome is clear. Also, it may have its own weight, that he is now writing to Jerome, whose judgment in these things was not unknown to him: He must therefore be supposed to use the same, as it was understood by him.
