my_o small_a ability_n and_o my_o aversion_n to_o hard_a word_n will_v give_v i_o leave_v for_o howsoever_o the_o law_n to_o make_v it_o a_o mystery_n and_o a_o trade_n may_v be_v wrap_v up_o in_o term_n of_o art_n yet_o it_o be_v found_v in_o reason_n and_o be_v obvious_a to_o common_a sense_n the_o power_n of_o judicature_n do_v natural_o descend_v and_o not_o ascend_v that_o be_v no_o inferior_a court_n can_v have_v any_o power_n which_o be_v not_o derive_v to_o it_o from_o some_o power_n above_o it_o the_o king_n be_v by_o the_o law_n of_o this_o land_n supreme_a judge_n in_o all_o cause_n ecclesiastical_a and_o civil_a and_o so_o there_o be_v no_o court_n high_a or_o low_a can_v act_n but_o in_o subordination_n to_o he_o and_o though_o they_o do_v not_o all_o issue_n out_o their_o writ_n in_o the_o king_n name_n yet_o they_o can_v issue_v out_o none_o but_o by_o virtue_n of_o some_o power_n they_o have_v receive_v from_o he_o now_o every_o particular_a court_n have_v such_o particular_a power_n as_o the_o king_n have_v give_v it_o and_o for_o that_o reason_n have_v it_o bound_n but_o the_o high_a court_n in_o which_o the_o king_n can_v possible_o sit_v that_o be_v his_o supreme_a court_n of_o lord_n in_o parliament_n have_v in_o it_o all_o judicial_a power_n and_o consequent_o no_o bound_n i_o mean_v no_o bound_n of_o jurisdiction_n for_o the_o high_a court_n be_v to_o govern_v according_a to_o the_o law_n as_o well_o as_o the_o low_a i_o suppose_v none_o will_v make_v a_o question_n but_o that_o every_o man_n and_o every_o cause_n be_v to_o be_v try_v according_a to_o magna_fw-la charta_fw-la that_o be_v by_o peer_n or_o according_a to_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n and_o he_o that_o be_v try_v by_o the_o ecclesiastical_a court_n the_o court_n of_o admiralty_n or_o the_o high_a court_n of_o lord_n in_o parliament_n be_v try_v as_o much_o by_o the_o law_n of_o the_o land_n as_o he_o that_o be_v try_v by_o the_o king's-bench_n or_o

and_o their_o have_v all_o equal_o and_o earnest_o a_o desire_n to_o try_v all_o cause_n themselves_o than_o the_o supreme_a court_n be_v force_v to_o hear_v their_o complaint_n because_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n of_o decide_v they_o and_o this_o under_o favour_n be_v a_o original_a cause_n of_o court_n though_o not_o of_o men._n now_o these_o original_a cause_n of_o court_n must_v also_o of_o necessity_n induce_v man_n for_o save_v of_o charge_n and_o dispatch_v sake_n to_o bring_v their_o cause_n original_o before_o the_o supreme_a court_n but_o then_o the_o court_n be_v not_o

that_o your_o precedent_n can_v show_v we_o which_o be_v nothing_o but_o what_o we_o practise_v every_o day_n that_o be_v that_o very_o often_o because_o we_o will_v not_o be_v molest_v with_o hear_v too_o many_o particular_a case_n we_o refer_v they_o back_o to_o other_o court_n and_o all_o the_o argument_n you_o can_v possible_o draw_v from_o hence_o will_v not_o in_o any_o kind_n lessen_v our_o
