forth_o in_o the_o french_a book_n but_o no_o marvel_n if_o the_o abridgement_n do_v omit_v it_o see_v the_o great_a book_n of_o statute_n do_v omit_v the_o same_o statute_n as_o it_o have_v do_v diverse_a other_o very_a good_a law_n and_o this_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o ignorance_n to_o reject_v all_o that_o it_o understand_v not_o although_o they_o use_v some_o cloak_n for_o it_o but_o such_o cloak_n as_o be_v allow_v may_v serve_v to_o repel_v all_o good_a law_n which_o god_n forbid_v again_o there_o be_v a_o ancient_a order_n for_o assize_n of_o fire_n wood_n and_o coal_n which_o be_v

furthermore_o for_o the_o statute_n of_o coinage_n and_o the_o standard_n thereof_o if_o the_o people_n understand_v right_o the_o statute_n they_o shall_v not_o nor_o will_v not_o as_o they_o often_o

they_o be_v continue_v and_o let_v ignorance_n no_o more_o meddle_v with_o the_o use_n of_o they_o than_o it_o do_v with_o the_o make_n of_o they_o oh_o in_o how_o miserable_a case_n be_v that_o realm_n where_o the_o minister_n and_o interpreter_n of_o the_o law_n be_v destitute_a of_o all_o good_a science_n which_o be_v the_o key_n of_o the_o law_n how_o can_v they_o either_o make_v good_a

record_n sore_o oftentimes_o have_v i_o lament_v with_o myself_o the_o infortunate_a condition_n of_o england_n see_v so_o many_o great_a clerk_n to_o arise_v in_o sundry_a other_o part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o so_o few_o to_o appear_v in_o this_o our_o nation_n whereas_o for_o pregnancy_n of_o natural_a wit_n i_o think_v few_o nation_n do_v excel_v english_a man_n but_o i_o can_v impute_v the_o cause_n to_o any_o other_o thing_n than_o to_o the_o contempt_n or_o misseregard_n of_o learning_n for_o as_o englishman_n be_v inferior_a to_o no_o man_n in_o mother_n wit_n so_o they_o pass_v all_o man_n in_o vain_a pleasure_n to_o which_o they_o may_v attain_v with_o great_a pain_n or_o labour_n and_o be_v as_o slack_v to_o any_o never_o so_o great_a commodity_n if_o there_o hang_v of_o it_o any_o painful_a study_n or_o travelsome_a labour_n howbeit_o yet_o all_o man_n be_v not_o of_o that_o sort_n though_o the_o most_o part_n be_v the_o more_o pity_n it_o be_v but_o of_o they_o that_o be_v so_o glad_a not_o only_o with_o painful_a study_n and_o studious_a pain_n to_o attain_v learning_n but_o also_o with_o as_o great_a study_n &_o pain_n to_o communicate_v their_o learning_n to_o other_o and_o make_v all_o england_n if_o it_o may_v be_v partaker_n of_o the_o same_o the_o most_o part_n be_v such_o that_o un_v they_o can_v support_v their_o own_o necessary_a charge_n so_o that_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v any_o charge_n in_o do_v of_o that_o good_a that_o else_o they_o desire_v to_o do_v but_o a_o great_a cause_n of_o lamentation_n be_v this_o that_o when_o learned_a man_n have_v take_v pain_n to_o do_v thing_n for_o the_o aid_n of_o the_o unlearned_a scarce_o they_o shall_v be_v allow_v for_o their_o well_o do_v but_o deride_v and_o scorn_v and_o so_o utterlye_o discourage_v to_o take_v in_o hand_n any_o like_a enterprise_n again_o so_o that_o if_o any_o be_v find_v as_o there_o be_v some_o that_o do_v favour_n learning_n and_o learned_a wit_n and_o can_v be_v content_a to_o further_a knowledge_n yea_o only_o with_o their_o word_n such_o person_n though_o they_o be_v rare_a yet_o shall_v they_o encourage_v learned_a man_n to_o enterprise_v some_o thing_n at_o the_o least_o that_o england_n may_v rejoice_v of_o and_o i_o have_v good_a hope_n that_o england_n will_v after_o she_o have_v take_v some_o sure_a taste_n of_o learning_n not_o only_o bring_v forth_o more_o favourer_n of_o it_o but_o also_o such_o learned_a man_n that_o she_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o compare_v with_o any_o realm_n in_o the_o world_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n where_o so_o few_o regarder_n of_o learning_n be_v how_o great_o they_o be_v to_o be_v esteem_v that_o do_v favour_n and_o further_o it_o my_o pen_n will_v not_o suffice_v at_o full_a to_o declare_v therefore_o gentle_a reader_n where_o as_o i_o do_v upon_o most_o just_a occasion_n judge_v yea_o and_o know_v assure_o that_o there_o be_v some_o man_n in_o this_o realm_n which_o both_o love_n and_o also_o much_o desire_v to_o further_a good_a learning_n and_o yet_o be_o not_o well_o able_a to_o write_v their_o condign_a praise_n for_o the_o same_o i_o think_v it_o better_o with_o silence_n to_o overpasse_v it_o then_o either_o to_o say_v too_o little_a of_o it_o or_o to_o provoke_v against_o they_o the_o malice_n of_o such_o other_o which_o do_v nothing_o themselves_o that_o be_v praise_v worthy_a and_o therefore_o can_v not_o abide_v to_o hear_v the_o praise_n of_o any_o other_o man_n good_a deed_n and_o consider_v their_o great_a favour_n unto_o learning_n though_o i_o
