reformation_n in_o court_n and_o case_n testamentary_a before_o the_o late_a abolition_n of_o episcopacy_n this_o nation_n suffer_v under_o too_o many_o testamentary_a jurisdiction_n some_o county_n have_v no_o less_o than_o 50._o or_o 60._o peculiar_n and_o in_o some_o county_n divers_a lord_n of_o manor_n and_o corporation_n have_v a_o privilege_n to_o prove_v will_n and_o speed_n business_n of_o that_o nature_n upon_o a_o lay_a account_n the_o people_n find_v themselves_o divers_a way_n aggrieve_v by_o this_o multiplicity_n of_o jurisdiction_n and_o therefore_o to_o give_v some_o ease_n and_o redress_v therein_o the_o metropolitan_n prerogative_n court_n be_v erect_v about_o 400._o year_n ago_o in_o the_o year_n 1643._o dr_n merick_n judge_n of_o the_o prerogative_n court_n of_o canterbury_n remove_v his_o office_n to_o oxford_n and_o then_o there_o be_v a_o committee_n appoint_v to_o consider_v of_o a_o new_a settlement_n of_o that_o court_n but_o nothing_o be_v report_v thereupon_o in_o the_o year_n 1644._o mr:_n maynard_n bring_v in_o a_o ordinance_n for_o make_v sir_n n_n brent_n judge_n in_o dr_n merrick_n place_n and_o the_o same_o be_v pass_v with_o some_o other_o material_a alteration_n in_o the_o prerogative_n court_n in_o the_o year_n 1646._o all_o episcopal_a jurisdiction_n be_v take_v away_o since_o which_o there_o be_v no_o true_a power_n remain_v anywhere_o to_o dispatch_v testamentary_a business_n upon_o the_o ecclesiastical_a score_n except_o that_o of_o sir_n na_n brent_n sir_n na_n brent_n jurisdiction_n have_v two_o defect_n and_o so_o be_v as_o yet_o insufficient_a to_o do_v right_a to_o the_o whole_a nation_n it_o want_v extesinon_n of_o bound_n and_o a_o competent_a power_n of_o coercion_n for_o want_v of_o extension_n it_o can_v proceed_v due_o within_o the_o province_n of_o york_n nor_o within_o the_o ancient_a province_n of_o canterbury_n but_o only_o in_o some_o special_a cause_n hereupon_o occasion_n have_v be_v take_v

testamentary_a jurisdiction_n and_o so_o by_o these_o misproceed_n the_o deceive_a people_n be_v put_v to_o much_o unnecessary_a charge_n in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o be_v necessitate_v to_o take_v out_o administration_n the_o second_o time_n and_o be_v at_o the_o expense_n of_o new_a probate_n as_o often_o as_o any_o suit_n arise_v for_o want_v also_o of_o a_o sufficient_a coercive_a power_n for_o a_o court_n without_o a_o coercive_a power_n be_v no_o court_n the_o present_a judge_n can_v force_v man_n to_o bring_v in_o true_a inventory_n or_o submit_v to_o order_n in_o other_o point_n whereupon_o a_o vast_a licence_n be_v take_v by_o many_o to_o defraud_v creditor_n legatee_n and_o other_o interessent_n yea_o the_o state_n itself_o be_v often_o injure_v hereby_o aswell_o as_o

to_o a_o reformation_n of_o these_o thing_n a_o committee_n of_o parliament_n be_v choose_v in_o april_n 1646._o which_o after_o 3._o year_n sit_v make_v report_n in_o may_n 1649._o the_o matter_n

that_o admirable_a light_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n approve_o useful_a in_o monarchy_n and_o yet_o by_o some_o hold_v more_o useful_a in_o democracy_n will_v be_v preserve_v in_o our_o english_a
