whereof_o when_o it_o be_v persuade_v no_o man_n take_v regard_v and_o therefore_o king_n and_o emperor_n be_v advise_v by_o the_o same_o law_n that_o they_o shame_v not_o to_o amend_v and_o correct_v

of_o knowledge_n it_o be_v speak_v by_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v not_o mean_v to_o con_v their_o word_n by_o rote_n but_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o their_o force_n and_o power_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v let_v no_o man_n think_v that_o to_o know_v the_o law_n be_v to_o bear_v in_o mind_n the_o formal_a word_n with_o which_o they_o be_v write_v but_o to_o understand_v how_o

not_o express_v in_o word_n he_o shall_v commit_v many_o error_n in_o follow_v the_o letter_n for_o it_o have_v be_v say_v that_o the_o word_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v after_o the_o jewish_a manner_n that_o be_v to_o construe_v only_o the_o letter_n and_o so_o take_v the_o sense_n thereof_o on_o the_o thing_n already_o allege_v we_o conclude_v that_o plead_n be_v a_o work_n of_o discourse_n and_o that_o if_o the_o learned_a in_o the_o law_n possess_v much_o memory_n he_o be_v untoward_a to_o judge_v or_o plead_v through_o the_o repugnancy_n of_o these_o two_o power_n and_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n for_o which_o the_o learned_a of_o so_o ripe_a memory_n who_o plato_n mention_v can_v not_o defend_v well_o their_o client_n cause_n nor_o apply_v the_o law_n but_o in_o this_o doctrine_n there_o present_v itself_o a_o doubt_n and_o that_o in_o my_o opinion_n not_o of_o the_o light_a for_o if_o the_o discourse_n be_v that_o which_o put_v the_o case_n in_o the_o law_n and_o which_o determine_v the_o same_o by_o distinguish_v limit_v amplify_a infer_v and_o answer_v the_o argument_n of_o the_o contrary_a party_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o discourse_n may_v compass_v all_o this_o if_o the_o memory_n set_v not_o down_o all_o the_o law_n before_o it_o for_o as_o we_o have_v above_o remember_v it_o be_v command_v that_o no_o man_n in_o action_n or_o judgement_n shall_v use_v his_o own_o sense_n but_o leave_v himself_o to_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o law_n conformable_a hereunto_o it_o behoove_v first_o to_o know_v all_o the_o law_n and_o rule_n of_o the_o law_n faculty_n ere_o we_o can_v take_v hold_n of_o that_o which_o make_v to_o the_o purpose_n of_o our_o case_n for_o albeit_o we_o have_v say_v that_o the_o pleader_n of_o good_a understanding_n be_v lord_n of_o the_o law_n yet_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o all_o his_o reason_n and_o argument_n be_v ground_v on_o the_o principle_n of_o this_o faculty_n without_o which_o they_o be_v of_o none_o effect_n or_o valour_n and_o to_o be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o it_o behoove_v to_o have_v much_o memory_n that_o may_v preserve_v and_o retain_v so_o great_a a_o number_n of_o law_n which_o be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n this_o argument_n proove_v it_o to_o be_v necessary_a to_o the_o end_n a_o pleader_n may_v be_v accomplish_v that_o there_o be_v unite_v in_o he_o a_o great_a discourse_n and_o much_o memory_n all_o which_o i_o confess_v but_o that_o which_o i_o will_v say_v be_v that_o since_o we_o can_v find_v great_a discourse_n unite_v with_o much_o memory_n through_o the_o repugnancy_n which_o they_o carry_v each_o to_o other_o it_o be_v requisite_a that_o the_o pleader_n have_v much_o discourse_n and_o little_a memory_n rather_o than_o much_o memory_n &_o little_a discourse_n for_o to_o the_o default_n of_o memory_n be_v find_v many_o remedy_n as_o book_n table_n alphabet_n &_o other_o thing_n devise_v by_o man_n but_o if_o discourse_n fail_v there_o can_v nothing_o be_v find_v to_o remedy_v the_o same_o beside_o this_o aristotle_n faith_n that_o man_n of_o great_a discourse_n though_o they_o have_v a_o feeble_a memory_n yet_o they_o have_v much_o remembrance_n by_o which_o they_o retain_v a_o certain_a diffuse_v notice_n of_o thing_n they_o have_v see_v hear_v and_o read_v whereupon_o discourse_v they_o call_v they_o to_o memory_n and_o albeit_o they_o have_v not_o so_o many_o remedy_n to_o present_v unto_o the_o understanding_n the_o whole_a body_n of_o the_o civilllaw_n yet_o the_o law_n be_v ground_v on_o so_o great_a reason_n as_o plato_n report_v that_o the_o ancient_n term_v the_o law_n wisdom_n &_o reason_n therefore_o the_o judge_n or_o pleader_n of_o great_a discourse_n though_o judge_v or_o counsel_v he_o have_v not_o the_o law_n before_o he_o yet_o seldom_o shall_v he_o commit_v a_o error_n for_o he_o have_v with_o he_o the_o instrument_n with_o which_o the_o
