Have just found an article of Family Search on "England Ecclesiastical Visitations" which includes, in examples of Visitations noted in from Parish Registers:
"Thus farre is returned into ye Court" and "Soe far delivered in to ye Court" with a date.
I am satisfied that, in the case I was querying, the second word is certainly likely to be "Court". Presumably in the case I had, the Register was presumably part of the checking of the administration/record keeping of the church
