similibus_fw-la ad_fw-la similia_fw-la iudicium_fw-la &_o argumentatio_fw-la recipiuntur_fw-la 4_o beside_o these_o etc._n there_o be_v a_o other_o general_a and_o certain_a rule_n in_o the_o civil_a

conclude_v that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o former_a judgement_n nor_o example_n nor_o precedent_n to_o be_v find_v then_o concordia_fw-la clericorum_fw-la &_o arbitrium_fw-la judicum_fw-la be_v to_o

whatsoever_o i_o have_v speak_v or_o shall_v happen_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o civil_a law_n or_o whatsoever_o i_o shall_v cite_v out_o of_o any_o writer_n of_o that_o law_n i_o pray_v favour_n my_o

of_o great_a learning_n wisdom_n and_o judgement_n i_o profess_v it_o not_o i_o have_v learn_v little_a of_o it_o but_o in_o that_o little_a i_o have_v find_v that_o in_o the_o real_a and_o essential_a part_n of_o justice_n the_o civil_a and_o common_a law_n do_v in_o many_o thing_n concur_v though_o they_o differ_v much_o in_o the_o form_n and_o manner_n of_o proceed_v and_o that_o which_o i_o shall_v have_v occasion_n to_o produce_v of_o that_o law_n will_v be_v to_o show_v how_o the_o common_a law_n and_o civil_a do_v agree_v in_o one_o reason_n and_o judgement_n in_o those_o

receive_v nor_o allow_v as_o a_o conclude_a and_o bind_v law_n they_o take_v there_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o only_o as_o a_o direction_n to_o their_o proceed_n &_o judgement_n but_o to_o produce_v
