Whether that law and those judges and practizers owned time out of minde by the supreme authority of the nation, be not the laws, judges, and lawyers of this Common-wealth, &c. 2. Whether courts so constituted are not records of the nation. 3. Whether each court hath not power, as such, to enforce its owne decrees. 4. That the decrees and usages of such a court are as valid as of any court. 5. Whether it be not against reason, that when divers courts in the same nation act by divers lawes, one of the courts should have power to prohibit the other to proceed to bring the matters in difference before it self. 6.

1._o whether_o that_o part_n of_o the_o civil-law_n which_o have_v be_v time_n out_o of_o mind_n receive_v use_v and_o allow_v in_o public_a judicatories_n authorize_v by_o the_o unquestionable_a

go_v and_o lay-judge_n as_o in_o other_o court_v constitute_v whether_o while_o a_o court_n it_o have_v not_o coersive_a power_n be_v the_o question_n i_o conceive_v even_o by_o the_o very_o constitute_v of_o it_o a_o court_n it_o have_v power_n coersive_a in_o itself_o for_o as_o there_o be_v word_n of_o art_n which_o include_v much_o which_o the_o ignorant_a one_o know_v not_o so_o this_o word_n court_n or_o make_v or_o constitute_v man_n judge_n of_o etc._n etc._n include_v in_o they_o not_o only_o a_o power_n to_o hear_v but_o to_o judge_n and_o to_o enforce_v that_o sentence_n for_o as_o nature_n so_o the_o law_n do_v nothing_o in_o vain_a it_o settle_v not_o a_o power_n in_o any_o to_o make_v judge_n but_o to_o have_v power_n also_o to_o enforce_v for_o otherwise_o their_o sentence_n be_v in_o vain_a it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o power_n ecclesiastic_a by_o censure_n be_v go_v and_o the_o judge_n civil_a can_v execute_v it_o but_o my_o reason_n be_v that_o cease_v the_o judge_n now_o that_o the_o law_n may_v not_o want_v his_o course_n and_o that_o justice_n be_v do_v to_o the_o people_n the_o general_a reason_n of_o the_o law_n require_v that_o

common_a law_n meddle_v not_o with_o the_o person_n while_o there_o be_v good_n but_o attach_v he_o by_o his_o good_n but_o that_o be_v find_v inconvenient_a which_o principal_o alter_v that_o law_n or_o course_n of_o practice_n for_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o observeed_o now_o than_o if_o the_o procedure_n of_o the_o judge_n be_v according_a to_o the_o practical_a law_n of_o the_o nation_n in_o general_a i_o shall_v conceive_v the_o officer_n ought_v to_o be_v free_a from_o action_n and_o plead_v the_o rule_n of_o the_o court_n i_o know_v there_o be_v no_o settle_a

damage_n must_v come_v to_o the_o people_n from_o defect_n of_o justice_n and_o therefore_o i_o know_v though_o they_o may_v not_o be_v warrant_v by_o a_o particular_a law_n yet_o they_o have_v the_o general_a rule_n of_o save_v and_o not_o ruine_v the_o commonwealth_n in_o your_o trust_n to_o plead_v for_o they_o to_o avoid_v both_o punishment_n or_o rebuke_n yet_o it_o may_v be_v more_o fit_a
