which_o his_o client_n evidence_n and_o testimony_n have_v already_o make_v know_v unto_o he_o without_o further_a meddle_v with_o the_o law_n favonius_n this_o seem_v strange_a unto_o i_o how_o a_o

use_v in_o certain_a part_n of_o england_n be_v so_o intricate_a and_o obscure_a that_o one_o law_n be_v contrary_a to_o another_o and_o yet_o both_o of_o they_o houlden_v for_o good_a as_o for_o

the_o whole_a if_o it_o be_v not_o redemanded_a be_v not_o these_o law_n think_v you_o one_o contrary_a to_o another_o favonius_n contrary_a they_o be_v and_o so_o perhaps_o the_o people_n who_o make_v they_o be_v no_o less_o contrary_a of_o nature_n then_o their_o law_n aqvilonius_n what_o say_v you_o then_o to_o the_o athenian_n who_o have_v among_o they_o a_o old_a law_n that_o every_o man_n shall_v take_v two_o wife_n to_o the_o end_n that_o no_o man_n for_o variety_n of_o pleasure_n shall_v either_o keep_v concubyne_n or_o practice_v with_o other_o man_n wife_n whereas_o on_o the_o other_o side_n their_o neighbour_n the_o lacedaemonian_n have_v a_o contrary_a old_a law_n to_o wit_n that_o every_o woman_n shall_v take_v two_o husband_n to_o the_o end_n that_o one_o of_o they_o shall_v be_v still_o at_o home_n to_o provide_v for_o the_o house_n while_o the_o other_o be_v at_o the_o war_n can_v there_o any_o thing_n be_v more_o contrary_a than_o these_o favonius_n you_o must_v consider_v that_o those_o law_n be_v make_v in_o time_n of_o gentility_n and_o also_o by_o city_n of_o several_a jurisdiction_n that_o be_v emulator_n in_o all_o thing_n one_o to_o another_o aqvilonius_n i_o propound_v you_o then_o another_o example_n at_o home_n among_o ourselves_o that_o in_o one_o lordship_n the_o elder_a son_n be_v to_o be_v heir_n because_o he_o be_v suppose_v best_o able_a to_o serve_v his_o prince_n and_o in_o another_o lordship_n the_o young_a son_n be_v to_o inherit_v all_o because_o he_o be_v least_o able_a to_o provide_v for_o himself_o be_v not_o these_o also_o contrary_a law_n the_o one_o to_o the_o other_o and_o yet_o both_o of_o they_o houlden_v to_o be_v good_a favonius_n if_o both_o these_o law_n be_v in_o use_n in_o two_o distinct_a lordshipe_n houlden_v alike_o by_o knight_n service_n they_o may_v import_v some_o contrariety_n as_o you_o say_v but_o your_o latter_a case_n be_v only_o for_o land_n which_o be_v houlden_v in_o socage_n tenure_n according_a to_o our_o law_n term_n and_o not_o for_o all_o such_o land_n neither_o but_o for_o the_o small_a part_n thereof_o and_o for_o that_o part_n also_o permit_v only_o by_o the_o particular_a custom_n of_o some_o manor_n and_o not_o so_o command_v by_o the_o law_n the_o which_o law_n may_v be_v know_v no_o doubt_n well_o enough_o unto_o all_o or_o the_o most_o part_n of_o those_o who_o have_v to_o obey_v it_o notwithstanding_o your_o allege_a contradiction_n aqvilonius_n let_v we_o then_o consider_v this_o other_o reason_n whether_o ordinary_a subject_n shall_v be_v bind_v so_o strict_o to_o know_v the_o law_n when_o as_o that_o which_o be_v law_n the_o last_o year_n may_v this_o year_n be_v no_o law_n at_o all_o by_o occasion_n of_o some_o new_a statute_n make_v against_o it_o favonius_n then_o by_o this_o account_n because_o the_o last_o year_n there_o be_v peace_n and_o this_o year_n war_n the_o subject_n shall_v not_o be_v bind_v to_o know_v when_o it_o be_v peace_n and_o when_o war_n not_o that_o i_o will_v infer_v hereof_o that_o every_o common_a subject_n shall_v know_v the_o law_n so_o exact_o and_o particular_o as_o lawyer_n themselves_o who_o make_v their_o profit_n of_o it_o but_o only_o to_o know_v the_o same_o superficial_o and_o in_o general_a that_o be_v to_o say_v partly_o by_o tradition_n and_o partly_o by_o natural_a reason_n aqvilonius_n then_o natural_a reason_n by_o your_o own_o confession_n be_v half_a enough_o of_o itself_o in_o subject_n to_o make_v they_o to_o know_v so_o much_o of_o the_o law_n as_o be_v necessary_a for_o their_o vocation_n favonius_n you_o say_v very_o well_o for_o so_o much_o have_v i_o confess_v already_o indeed_o aqvilonius_n but_o he_o who_o do_v know_v any_o part_n of_o the_o law_n by_o natural_a reason_n may_v he_o not_o execute_v by_o natural_a reason_n so_o much_o thereof_o in_o his_o practice_n as_o he_o know_v favonius_n i_o will_v not_o great_o deny_v but_o that_o natural_a reason_n alone_o may_v serve_v well_o enough_o the_o turn_n to_o execute_v all_o sort_n of_o private_a justice_n the_o which_o extend_v itself_o no_o further_o than_o for_o one_o neighbour_n to_o render_v to_o another_o his_o dew_n so_o far_o forth_o as_o humanity_n and_o charity_n do_v oblige_v he_o thereunto_o but_o for_o the_o practice_n of_o public_a justice_n in_o court_n of_o record_n there_o be_v require_v the_o help_n of_o more_o art_n according_a as_o have_v be_v say_v before_o aqvilonius_n then_o by_o this_o i_o perceive_v you_o will_v now_o allot_v we_o two_o sort_n of_o justice_n whereof_o the_o one_o have_v to_o proceed_v from_o the_o morality_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o other_o from_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o law_n favonius_n not_o only_o from_o the_o equity_n of_o the_o law_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o reason_n thereof_o but_o also_o from_o the_o force_n of_o the_o law_n which_o consist_v in_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o
