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.

all_o the_o ingenious_a spirit_n intend_v that_o way_n and_o all_o man_n know_v if_o you_o keep_v not_o up_o the_o particular_a part_n the_o speculative_a will_v be_v weak_a and_o low_a take_v a_o
